Wow...I'm a VERY bad blogger....

It's been a while, so let's see what we've been up to...
We went to Tennessee to visit with Richard & Judy...had fun...
Unfortunately my parents weren't able to make it, their RV overheated in Pennsylvania.
We stayed in TN for a week and then headed to Texas.
We visited with Pam & Charles...had fun...
Jeremy & his wife were there for one evening before heading back to Fort Hood the next morning,
so our visit with them was short-lived, BUT we have invited them to come visit us in Minnesota before he heads to Iraq.
We spent time with our friends in Houston...always a party when The Stories are in town!
The Talkingtons invited us over and we saw the many babies that arrived within the last few months.
The Grecos invited us over for a party and we saw their grandbabies all together, such beautiful kids!
It is always nice to see Justin's friends.

What is a trip to Houston, Texas WITHOUT Freebirds?!?! So, we went to the Harley-Davidson shops in Conroe & The Woodlands after overstuffing our bellies at Freebirds.

Heading back to Minnesota, we stopped in Kansas City, Missouri. So far in the number of states that we have visited I outnumber Justin by four, but he has me beat in the number of countries we have been to!
Our goal before leaving Minnesota is to visit the Dakotas, Colorado, Nebraska, Montana, Michigan and Wyoming.
And after that I'll still outnumber him by four!! :)

Last week my parents came to visit. As they pulled into the driveway, I was on the telephone with my baby sister, Rachael and she wanted to talk to my mom, so I chatted with her.
Then........

ALL FOUR DOORS OPENED ON MY MOM'S CAR.......

AUSTIN & BRANDIN CAME TOO!!!

So, we got a whole week to spend time with my family.
We went school shopping with the boys....LOTS of shopping.

We went to Stockcar Races,

Deer Creek Speedway

a baseball game 

Honker's Baseball Game

the Spam Museum, 

a Riverside Concert 

Mojo & the Bayou Gypsies

and to an outlet mall nearby.

While out and about we went into a pet shop and saw a family with a new puppy....

if you were thinking that we went to get a puppy YOU'RE RIGHT!!!

but if you thought that it was for us you're WRONG...my parents have a new puppy.

Her name is Minnie Soda (we name all of our pets after foods...)

Tootsie Roll

Millie Lite

Strawberry Shortcake

Cotton Candie

Peanut Butter

Onion Dip

Yea, I know we're weird!

We brought the boys to the Olmsted County Fair, where they complained about how boring it was.

Then we brought them to see the Viking Cheerleaders....as you can see they were happy after that!!

We went to the Mall of America, where we pushed Daddie in a wheelchair so we could do some REAL shopping. And then to Joe's Crab Shack, where Austin could have some crab legs...we have yet to find a place that will fill Austin up on crabs!! :)

They left Monday morning for home and I stayed up all night until my family was safe & sound back in Knapps.

Minnie and Millie apparently love each other. While Brock cannot stand Minnie because she jumps and gives big ol' puppie kisses!

Now back to reality....still looking for a job. Right now I am looking at volunteer work...which will hopefully get my foot in the door for a paying job.

Looking forward to this Sunday, a Riverside Concert.....STARSHIP!!!!

And preparing for my trip back to New York...

My best girlie is getting married and asked me to be in the wedding...

Counting down the days until I can head East!!!

I miss every one SOOO much!

As always our house is open to any one that would like to come & visit!!

and if you'd like to come and visit with Justin while I'm in New York I am sure he'd LOVE it!! :)

GB,

Sarah, Justin, Jennie & Brewster
