Mother's Day with the Schuster's!

Sorry for the delay, as promised...Mother's Day with the Schusters...and Jessie's first Mom's Day with Grady!

Josh's Birthday Party...Last week...

Last week was the Animal Walk and it happened to fall on Josh's Birthday this year. So it was a kinda chaotic weekend and then a crazy week...so without further ado...Pics of Josh's B-day party!

Happy Mother's Day!

This was an unusual Mother's Day spent up North with my mom and sisters. Usually, we are around town, but our girls weekend got juggled a bit this year and made for a perfectly AMAZING MOM'S DAY! Here are some pics from Madden's Resort...we did LOTS of damage shopping Crosslake, Pequot Lakes and Nisswa!

But I also want to send some very special Mother's Day love to my Grandma Cooley, my God Mother Annie, and to Josh's Mom, Grandma and God Mom whom we didn't get to see on Mother's day this year...we celebrated with the Schuster's last weekend because Linda had to work today, I will post pics of that this week too! I need to get unpacked...but something to look forward to this week!

More from the Walk!

 The Wever's "Dog" for the day...we all left the dogs at home in case the rain actually showed up...it was SUPPOSED to be a washout, if you believed the weather people!

 Theme for the walk...critters dressed in warm and rain gear...

 Tradition...

The most "exotic" critter this year!

Happy Birthday on Animal Walk Day!

Today is Josh's b-day...he's finally as old as me again! Today, my wonderful hubby spent the day walking for the critters and braving the cold temps and possible (but never showing up) rain showers...Thankfully we stayed dry, but I can't thank him enough for giving his birthday morning for a cause that I love and he supports me every year...even if it happens to fall on his birthday.

I love you more than words, and your kiddos do too! HUGE HUGS!

 Uncle Dude, workin hard on his bday!

 Bundled Adie and Brynnie...I swear they are in there!

 Peace!

 That's not a sand trap :(

 The Wever's braving the cold!

For Karen!

Our "Other Daughter"

Ok, some of you in the bloggosphere probably don't know that we have a neighbor girl whom we have sort of stollen from her family. We call her our Oldest Child and count her as one of our own...Yesterday was her Prom Night and she invited me over to take pictures. They grow up so fast;)

 Yes, the hand on the hip is intentional and silly...I didn't know she wanted me IN the pictures or I would have dressed appropriately! And she's in flats too, by the way...I'm just that short!

 Our little Kayla!

 Her real family!

 Sidney Crosby...I mean Pittsburg Black and Gold...

Sparkly Dress!

Bad Auntie!

I totally forgot my camera today, but I wanted to say a big CONGRATS to my nephew Zacky! He is just starting to try new sports and he had a wrestling tourney this weekend and pinned his first two guys and won the third in a Major Decision. This OLD wrestling cheerleader was so proud:) Love you ZT!
