Hello everyone.  Now that I know how to upload pictures faster, here's a quick glimpse of the trip I took to St. Charles this last week.  Had a great time with Kyle, Rachel, Lydia, & Isaiah. :)

 Kermit the frog even hangs out at the airport.

 Goodbye 104 degree weather of Phoenix!

 Hello O'Hare and the beautiful 80 degrees :)

 Lydia liked to watch the dump trucks in the morning.  She was upstairs when this one came by.

 Isaiah and Auntie Leah.

 Took a trip to Aldi and saw these pretty flowers.

 Hi there little mr.

 Such handsome men.

 There they are!

 St. Charles at night.

 Met up with friend Matt who had just moved to Chicago from Phoenix a month and a half ago.

 "Goldfish!"

 Beautiful lilies and the neighbors house.

 Fingerpainting!

What Kyle likes to read in his spare time. :)  

I had a wonderful time and wasn't ready to go back home to Phoenix already.  But will have to come back again and see them soon.  Thanks Kyle and Rachel for having me! :)

A trip to Minnesota

Just a few more pics from Minnesota. I went to stay with Justin and Elisa, and then mom and dad for several days. We stopped at a rest stop and played for a little while to take a break.

Justin being silly.

Mom and Sieara.

Dad opens a present.

Mom plays the piano at church.

Right before I spent several days with Justin and Elisa's, mom and Sieara decided to dance around in the tutu's. Love how mom has it around her head like a lion. :)

Frankie the fish was a hit! Every morning I'd awaken to, "What's the fishy doing? What's Frankie doing? He's swimming!"

Time to say "cheese" with Auntie Leah!

Justin and I dropped off a bass in Red Wing, but on the way home we went and got a coffee and stopped by the "Uffda Shop." Thanks again for a wonderful Christmas and New Years all!

A visit to Nebraska

Had a great time in Nebraska with everyone. The time went way too fast.

My friend Christen came to visit in Omaha. We went and had Chinese and it was a blast.

Andy got all of the vhs movies from when we were kids put onto his computer and we watched them on the tv. It was hilarious!

The truck in the Jacobsen's barn.

Mom and Aunt Janet talking it up.

Grandpa's tools. I took home a saw that I plan to put on the wall in my bedroom. :)

Grandma opens a present.

Mom plays with Micah.

Sieara and Alex play in the kitchen.

Meanwhile we drive to Grand Island, Nebraska. Dad tries on a peguin hat.

A nice family picture.

Oops...a little out of order. But Justin stocks up on goodies.
