Camping Trip 2009- 2nd annual Trip

This year we went to Augers Pine Resort at the end of June and rented 2 -2 bedroom cabins. It was a total of 8 adults and 7 kids. (The Harakh, Sellner and Petrich family) WE went Thursday to Sunday which was perfect. The weather was perfect, even though there were days it rained for an hour but it cleared right back up within in no time, but that gave us all time to relax and the guys would play cards. But we played outside, the kids played at the park, went to the beach, fished off the dock, went for boat rides, even took a walk with the kids while they road there bikes. The guys went golfing one day and us girls went shopping the next day. Cannot not wait for next years trip. Here are a few pictures but I have been bad at blogging so I still have plenty more to upload.

Daddy and Mason chilling out

There was dirt piles in front of our cabin and this is Tristian really dirty.... you

can't really see it but her Left eye was dirt all the way around it. I brought clothes for the both

of them I wasn't so worried about getting dirty.

I will post lots more pictures soon. We have had a great summer, keeping busy with playing outside and having BBQ's with friends, and also having campfires with smores as well.

The kids and I also went up north for a weekend with my parents it was alot of fun.

Mother's Day 09'

Mother's Day was a Great Day! I still can't beleive almost 4 years ago I became a mom and not only once but twice only 15 months later. I dreamed of having kids since I was little I wouldn't dream of it any different. I have my Precious Little Princess Tristian and My little Prince Mason and they are my world, my life.
Daddy had to work so the kids and I went out to Lunch with Grandma, Papa, Auntie Angie, Uncle Harry, Dominic, Uncle Matt and Auntie DeeDee at Time out in Elk River. They had a HUGE buffet of food we all ate so much it was so yummy. We then sat there and visited for awhile the kids were so good. We then came home and relaxed and Daddy came home and the kids gave me a rose and a $100 certificate to Simonson's. LOVE IT~~ Cannot wait to use my certificate to pamper myself to get my hair done. It was a wonderful Mother's Day.
I love you Tristian and Mason you will always be my Babies!!!

I will post pictures later tonight!

1 year since his Passing.....

It has been almost 1 Year since my Uncle Butch passed away!! May 23rd 2008

AS the days approach of the week our Family was never prepared for even though we knew it was happening and watching him fade away. As the nurses and Candi and Jason and Aunt Claranne Take care of him 24/7 helplessly laying there but him trying so hard to hang on.

He got MRSA a staph infection that ultimately took his life. 5mos. in and out of nursing homes and back to the hospital, thinking they had the staph under control but, he would always end up back in the hospital. He always did really well in the hospital and the care he got there was AWESOME. The doctors and the nurses were great, they took good care of him. He spent a month fighting for his life and then god took him home. I remember being there with him one day at the nursing home {hospice} alone and wanting to tell him so much but all I could get out was that I loved Him very much!! I wish more than anything that he could be with us all right now, I wish that he could be Tristian's god father like he is Mine, and that he could take us 2 girls out for our Birthday like him and I used to. That is one Memory I will never forget. Well in memory of him I am going to set aside a day in June for me and my precious little girl to go out to eat for our Birthdays and his and hoping he is there in spirit to join us.

Uncle Butch and Jason

My Dad and Uncle Butch gotta Love em! Brothers...

Rest in Peace Uncle Butch You WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!!! I Love you Uncle Butch

The kids with all there candy and fun crafts and baseball bat and ball

Easter morning started out with Breakfast that Mommy made, eggs bacon and some toast. The kids never said anything about the Easter Bunny till I said. I wonder if the Easter bunny came, then we searched for the Easter baskets it took them awhile so I did help them search they had a great time. We then got ready for going to Grandma and Papa's for Easter Lunch. The kids searched for there Easter gifts and eggs over there, ate lunch and visited with the family. We then came home and searched for the Easter eggs outside. It was a great Easter.

DISNEY ON ICE..........

Grandma and PaPa bought some Disney on Ice tickets for The kids and I, as well as Angie, Dominic and then Grandma came with of course. This is our 2nd time we have gone to Disney on Ice WOW I just love it. We plan to keep going every year as our Annual family event.

They got some awesome tickets Row B we were so close, hopefully next year we can be even closer. WE all had a great time, what great memories.

We brought Tristian's Princess dress but forgot it in the truck, so we got her some Minnie Mouse ears, and Mason wanted a Buzz Light year toy. This was before it all began.

Grandma, Tristian and Mason patiently waiting for it all to start........

I got pictures of the kids as it all started they were so excited and couldn't stop pointing and bouncing around and laughing. So here is the Picture of Mason....

Here is a picture of Tristian as it all started.....

Tristian telling me that she is having soooooooooooooooo much fun!!!

Mason's favorite part was Buzz Lightyear he was so excited when he saw them come out!!!

Tristian sitting on Grandma's lap

The Finale!!!!! Loved all the fireworks!!!!


Dominic and Angie, He had alot of fun!!! He did soooo good! and was laughing and clapping!!!

After Disney on Ice was over we met Auntie Deanna for Lunch since she works downtown! What great memories we made, and watching the kids faces was PRICELESS!!! It makes it all the better that the kids had so much fun!!!

Dance....Ballet ....Tap....Tap

We put Tristian into a Dance Class at the Ymca for 2-3 year olds. For this age it's only 1/2 hour class, which is 15 min. of Ballet/dance and 15 min. of Tap. We got there and all the kids go in and the parents stand outside the door, there is a little window to watch through but it's not very big. Kind of sad got a little teary eyed watching her, but she had so much fun! I wish I could have stayed inside to watch her but it is distracting I know. I did not know about the Tap portion till 1/2 way through and the kids came out to get there tap shoes on. So right after class we had to go out and buy her tap shoes. SHE LOVED it, she had so much fun! Can't wait till next monday.

My Sweet little Princess is now a Dancer!!!

Tristian at Dance class.....

I am so Happy that Tristian loved her 1st day of Dance I hope it stays that way, I grew up in Dance classes and Loved it!
