A Skylerism

Skyler just asked for "ChickenFish" for her snack - I was confused. She wants an Easter Peep and goldfish crackers. LOL

A Trip to the Family Farm

I'm very late in posting this, about six months to be exact... But I'm finally getting there; that's what counts. Right?

In March of 2010 we went to Crawford Nebraska (where my Grandpa John was from) to celebrate the 100th Birthday of my Great Grandma Alice. It was a great trip, and as you can tell from the picture on the left? She was in excellent health for being 100! (Photos from the whole trip are in this album.)

Unfortunately, on October 27, 2011 Grandma Alice passed away. So the whole family made the trip back to Crawford for her Funeral. It was a nice service and a nice chance to see many people from my mom's family (particularly those who live in California.)

We also took the chance to make a trip out to the old family farm - Homesteaded in Belmont Nebraska (just outside of Crawford) where my Grandfather had grown up. We also drove through Fort Robinson, and Smiley Canyon! So I thought I'd share some of our photos from the trip. You can view the full album, if you'd like.

A break from our regular Elf Insanity at Christmas Time!

We have been hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa Korell the past few days, and Skyler got a chance to show off her crazy dance skills!!



Also?

We got to see Santa!! Skyler had been so looking forward to seeing him, and I think it lived up to her expectations!

Snowy Days with Santa!

This morning we ventured out in the snow to see Santa!

Day 5: Gone Fishin!

It's already Day #5!! 

This morning we had a bit of a crisis! Since we adopted our fishy buddy (Button) I've often worried about Persephone showing too much interest in the fish. Guess I was worried for nothing, because she hasn't shown any interest. But Chip-Chip? Apparently he thought it was time to go fishing!
