Minnesota Summer 2009
Fun times as always- lots of laughs and lots of family/friend time as we spent over a week there! As good as it was to get back to Charlotte and out of our suitcases... it's always so hard to leave the ones who love us most! Thanks for the wonderful hospitality and company- love to everyone!
Ella and I were pretty proud of our matching yellow outfits!!! : )
We are both so happy here... just finished our green apples and mr. freezies!
BIG SQUEEZE! she is loved just that much!
Great to have you home Hairy!!!!! : )
Siblings coloring at Ella's table with Ella's markers in her coloring books....
How does Al win his way into every child's heart? Giving them treats : )
Ella can work those heels way better than her auntie can!
Off to Leonards! It was a little windy in this pic, doncha think?
I love it when Lani turns asian in pictures!
Uncle Ty givin Erik a good talkin' to.... he's used to them by now. They're not so scary anymore : )
The dogs were making their own version of Brokeback Mountain

Yep, I think I could get used to this.... (NO GRANDMA, IM NOT PREGNANT) : )
Hairy, you have no idea how much I miss that face....
Cool as cucumbers. Work those glasses, Whit.

Ridin in the giant gator/crocodile/lizard truck thing with Lincoln... not sure who is happier at this point- too close to call!

Erik, Isaac and Toobs- yummmm
Erik (and his lucky chosen guest) get to go to the Panthers vs Vikings game in Charlotte this year!
Off to the Severson/Johnson side... more park time with Ella!
She does not walk. Ever. She runs. And she is FAST! Her favorite game is "Kyla. GIT ME." ...and then we chase and chase and chase : )
Sibling love!
Ella and Erik playing football- I think Elle-belle won!
MEG AND JOE LIKE YELLOW!
Ella made G & G a bird house! She painted it all by herself and was pretty proud to give it to great gma and gpa.
Woooops this one didn't flip- turn your head. Ella found Kyra's shoes and Erik found great grandpa's shoes!
Elle loves her great grandma!
AND her great grandpa : )
Highlight of the Steele County Steele Fair... I got to meet Marjorie the cookie lady. She is even smaller in person than she is on Leno! So cute.
Erik was a HAPPY boy after this birthday present! Although the Wii is front and center, it is an adorable family picture!
Erik also was pretty excited to get his "Scarowinds" (Carowinds for Halloween) tickets. I gotta let the 7yr old inside of him come out every now and then!
Pretty hues of purple! Cute pic, Johnson ladies.
Frosting Erik's birthday cake....
No wonder Ella wanted to help Grandma Trudy! : ) yummmmmmm
Who does Ella choose to ride in the tiny train with her? How about the guy with the longest legs- Grandpa Dave... hillarious : )
SO HAPPY on the merry go round!
She got to go three times- with daddy, grandma and aunt kyla!
Just chillin with the guys in the back yard - talkin bout guy stuff.
Group shot in the backyard... fun times!
Honey, MN isn't so bad in August, is it? : )
Best Buy crew- miss you guys!!
Jim and I know how to work the Manhattans- nice pitcher, Jim!
Two of my favorite boys!

FINALLY TITHY DOO! :)
just kidding, I know they take awhile to do... It definitely was fun having you twos home! Ella won in the most pictures category - which is probably appropriate. teehee I don't think Trudy would approve of your new word "doncha" - just thought I'd bring that to your attention. :) thanks for sharing the fun pictures! I'm kinda bummed you didn't put the one of Blair lighting a firecracker that rickashayed off the clothes line and up his @$$! lol! tata for now
p.s. hoefshu (bless you!) haha
i crack me up! :)
Boy MN in Sept has been perfect so far - just don't ask me in Jan!!
Missin you more when I see the fun pictures - it was a good time. Leonard and I spent a lot of time together over the weekend - 3 fires and a full moon coming up too. Perfect - well almost, spreading manure on field just east and an east breeze added some aroma to the setting - gotta love the farm life!! Love you Lots - CHUBBY
Fun stuff! You definitely make the most of your visits when you come back! I liked your re-cap of our day at Leonard's; Ella is still too darn cute so I guess she can have the most space; good job on taking pictures with Great G-pa & G-ma; I'm so jealous that you got to meet squeeky little Marjorie; the purple hues were pretty; nice to see you with your Best Buy buds; and I think my favorite was G-pa Dave riding with Ella in the train at the fair - wow - too adorable! Chubby's comment about her perfect weekend with Leonard had me until the manure part. Is that really necessary?!? Thanks for taking the time to do another lengthy post - we all appreciate it! Love you LOTS!
So I need to add a couple pictures from Leonard's where Kyra is out scouting deer and turkey! (and, by the way, Mom sure likes partying with Leonard alot!!!) Good times...hope all is well down south. Love ya, Auntie Dacia
