More From ND

After getting two new teeth on Saturday(one on top, one on bottom), I needed to have a good day on Sunday and, that was exactly what we were blessed with. We went to church and then we had planned to eat at Mommy and Daddy's favorite mexican restaurant. Devastation set in as we pulled up and realized Mexican Village was closed! CLOSED?! But, that didn't ruin our day. We played outside, ate chili, and enjoyed each other's company. Daddy even gave me a ride on one of Grandpa's bikes!

Our little family of three. These two sure do love me....
Mommy is 35 weeks pregnant here.

I had a giggle attack when we were playing outside that lasted about 10 minutes. I was watching Daddy and Ally play volleyball and I couldn't keep from laughing! Pretty soon the whole family was laughing with me!

Still giggling.... everyone thought it was the best sound!

Uffda! That was hilarious!

Let me show you how I dribble...

Can you catch me Gram?!

So which one of you wants to play against me in croquet?

I was running so fast that my arms couldn't keep up with my body!

Grandma took the recumbant bike for a spin. I just coldn't help but smile when I saw this funny looking bike. Great job Gram!

We had such a great time together and I can't wait to see them again next month when they come to visit and meet my brother!!

This is the motorized bike my Grandpa built! Even Mommy took it for a ride!! She was flying down the gravel road at an incredible rate! Not nearly as fast as Daddy or Grandpa went though...

Grandpa Mike and Grandma Connie... they're so much fun!

Aunt Allison.... it was hard to say goodbye to her!

Awww! Another great trip to see family.

We praise the LORD for another safe trip! We love the family He's blessed us with and wouldn't want to change a thing about the plan God has in store for our family. Even though Mommy tends to look online at ND houses for sale after we come back home....that usually only lasts a couple days for we know that God has brought us to Illinois for a reason and we love it here.

Fun On The Farm!

I hope everyone had a fun Labor Day Weekend. Here are some pictures from Grandma and Grandpa Scholand's house over the weekend.


Mmmmm! Fruit chillers are still my favorite!
I loved playing out in Grandma and Grandpa's big yard. Next time we go and visit, this will hopefully be covered with lots of snow to play in.

Grandpa and I watched Daddy ride a motorized bike that Grandpa made. He was going 27 mph he said!! Wow!

I'm still watching Daddy ride the motor bike! I can't wait to ride bike when I get bigger!

Aunt Laura, this is how I clap!

And.... you know Mommy took about a million pictures so I'll be sharing more in my next post!:)

Mr. & Mrs. Violette

This past weekend we had the great opportunity of traveling to North Dakota to attend my cousin Whitney's wedding. We had a great time and I was even asked to be a flowergirl!! What a honor! I was all prepared for the task.... as you know I started walking August 4th to practice for this big job but, the day of the wedding I felt awful. I cut two new teeth that weekend! As Mom stood with me at the back of the church with the rest of the wedding party, I couldn't help but randomly start crying. It was clear I was going to have a tough time walking up the aisle with my cousin Connor.... he did a great job though and Mommy didn't mind hanging out with me in the back of the church through the wedding. We even found some sandwiches and bottled water they had set out for the wedding party. After helping myself to a sandwich, Mom and I made our way to the nursery and played with toys. All in all, it was a great day. Whitney made such a beautiful bride and everything was so beautiful. A wedding is always such a joyous occassion and it was great celebrating with Adam and Whitney!!

Mom and Dad brought me back to Gma and Gpa's house early so I could get some sleep..... I guess they were a little bummed because they had so wanted me to show off my cool dance moves.
I was trying but, I just couldn't get my groove back.

Mommy, Laura, Beth, and Cass at the reception.Daddy with his favorite little gal.
Aunt Beth and I cuddled at the reception.. I sure enjoyed that time and miss Aunt Beth very much!
Mom and Dad having a great time at the reception!

Don't they make such a great looking couple?!?
Thank you Adam and Whitney for allowing us to share your very special day with you. We pray that God will richly bless your marriage.

Hello September!

Well, can you believe it's already September and my brother will be arriving next month already?! Mommy had her 34 week checkup this morning and Henry measures at 36 weeks. His head is down(praise the LORD) and his heartbeat is strong(132bpm). I was a little confused when I woke up this morning and Mommy was no where to be found. Daddy was able to stay home and sleep in with me while Mommy went to the doctor. Just practicing being a big sis with my dolly.Sshhhh. Baby's sleeping.
Mommy and Daddy finally got a new bed and, of course I was available to help Daddy put it together. I don't know what they'd do without me!:)

Daddy's so awesome!! He always stops and listens to all my suggestions!Did you tighten those bolts yet??

Mom's job was to put the handles on the drawers... great job Mommy!

We've been plowing through our giant "to-do" list one job at a time but, we're taking this weekend off for some very exciting plans with family. Stay tuned for pictures next week!

Have a great Labor Day Weekend everyone!!
