My First Blog

Well, here it is....my first post. I am not really a blogger, but thought I would give it a try to keep everyone updated on our EXCITING lives here in Bottineau! The most exciting news recently is that Grant became one of the newest members of the Bottineau City Council on Tuesday! We are so proud of him and know he will do a great job!

Lauren is growing by leaps and bounds right now and is coming up on her SECOND birthday!! Hard to believe! She can count to ten, puts puzzles together like a pro, is using more words every day and loves to sing, her favorite song being "Winnie the Pooh" or "Winnn Poooh, Winn Poooh" as she likes to say. She is running everywhere and keeps us very busy! She loves to be outside and we are finally getting some spring weather here in the Four Seasons playground so we are able to get outside more. We have a backyard playset and she loves swinging and going down the slide. We also take bike rides around town and she talks the whole time!

Here are some pics from our Mother's Day trip to the Minot Zoo. It was so much fun and she loved seeing all the animals, especially the 'kittys' (as in a lion, a snow leopard, two tigers and another leopard!!!) and the donkey in the petting zoo as you can tell!

The summer is shaping up to be a busy one. We are excited to get out on the lake and do some camping and also some projects around the house. Right now Grant is busy finishing the work in our entryway. He has been doing most of it by himself and is becoming quite a pro at sheetrocking, wiring and flooring! It will be so nice to have it finished for so many reasons!





Till next time!
