Wordless Wednesday: Minnie the Math Cat

It was hard to get a good picture, but this is what happens anytime Minnie is around at math time.  She just loves to be in his books, but especially his math book.

Wordless Wednesday, Snoopie

To celebrate Snoopie's birthday (yes, we celebrate the animals' birthdays at our house), I thought I would share one of my favorite pictures of her.  This one is about 2 years old, but it's one of my favorites that shows her face. 

My sister had both of the dogs wearing these glasses this day.  Snoopie didn't seem bothered at all.

Wordless Wednesday

When people ask what I like about North Dakota, I always mention the beauty and wide open spaces.

 Summer Reading

Elliott got his box of surprise books from Scholastic yesterday, and couldn't wait to check it out.  He's already read three of them!

Wordless Wednesday:The Danish Windmill

We went to the Scandinavian Heritage Park in Minot over the weekend.  Elliott loved the Danish Windmill and had to have his picture taken with it.

Wordless Wednesday: First Day of Spring

Although today is the first day of spring it certainly doesn't feel like it.  As a reminder that spring weather IS coming, Elliott and I looked at our early spring pictures from Florida in 2011 this morning.  This is what we experienced in 2011:

Elliott and Abby Cadabby at Busch Gardens

This is our view this year:

The same cozy coupe type truck I posted 2 or 3 weeks ago, with even more snow today.

Wordless Wednesday: Meet Minnie Meowse

I've posted pictures of my 2 dogs recently, so now it's my cat's turn!  This is Minnie Meowse.  She's the only one of our pets that we've had since only a few weeks old (6 to be exact) and also the only one we named ourselves.  We got her in 2011, shortly after returning home from Disney World, so Elliott chose to name her after the famous mouse.

Wordless Wednesday: Baby Elliott

It's hard to believe that Elliott will be seven this week.  So I thought I would share a picture that I took when he was a newborn.  Here he is with his Daddy, while we were still in the hospital.  The year is wrong on the picture.  It was actually 2006, and he was 1 day old.
