Our Family Splits Apart for the Week

By
With Scott's dad's memorial the next weekend, we decided to stay in Wisconsin for the week instead of driving back home. I took Theo with me up to my parents while Scott and Meadow stayed with his mom. It's pretty rare that we go places without each other. 

 The last time we were here my mom complained that my dad still hadn't put together this shelf she bought. When I saw it still in the box I went ahead and did it for them. 

I had only planned to stay a night or two with my parents. I had made plans with Amanda so she could meet Theo. Even with her busy schedule she made time to see me. While she was over Cevonne called. It was fun to chat with these two. I wish we could get together more.

 Theo was a little grumpy during the visit.

 My mom said she found some ice cream for me at Aldi. I didn't know they had speciality pints. 

 The main reason I came up, besides so my parents could see Theo, was to go to my Grandma's house. Since she passed away I hadn't been able to get to her house to help clean it/look through to see if there was anything I wanted.

My grandma's house is about an hour from parents. We made it all the way there when my mom realized she forgot her keys. Instead of driving all the way back we met up with my dad to get his key. With a late start I didn't really get much time there.

 I did find a few things. Look at this photo of baby me. Big cheeks like Theo.

 I found my New Years outfit.

 I had no idea my grandparents were skiers.

Also check out my dreads and eyebrow piercing. 

 Jaspurr thought the baby gym was for him. Sadly, a few days later he ended up passing away. We aren't sure if it was a respiratory issue or something he ate. I noticed in the morning that he was breathing hard and slow. The rest of the day he hardly moved. When my dad tried to give him water and he stopped breathing. 

The next day I planned to head back to Scott and Meadow. Then I found out my sisters and parents were planning to go back to my Grandma's on Saturday. I decided to stick around until then since Scott's dad's wake had been postponed.

I met up with Ann and Owen since I was staying. I wish Meadow had come along so they could play. 

We caught up on a lot and stayed for dinner. Then  we headed over to Leon's for ice cream. 

 The next day I brought Theo over to meet my aunt and uncle. I loved looking out their big window.

 With my extended stay, I decided to clean out my brother's old room. Well technically this was my old room from when Chelsea was born until high school, then I moved to the basement. 

I found my old iPod. 

 The day I planned to go back to my grandma's and back to Cudahy a blizzard came. 
 It didn't stop until Monday. They were hit with a new record of 23 inches of snow. 

The blizzard gave me a chance to finish the bedroom. I turned it into another guest room/play room for the grandchildren. 

I think this is the longest I've stayed with my parents since I moved out. I had a nice visit, but had to get back to my family.

As soon as we arrived back in Cudahy we headed to Miller Park for a baseball game. 

The next day we ate at Miss Katie's Diner and then headed back home after being gone for the last 3 weeks.

Stillwater Waterfall and MN River Valley Hiking

By
  Scott had to take some sunset photos in Stillwater.  A fall color aerial 360. I hadn't been there in awhile so we tagged along. We left as soon as Meadow was done for school and headed for the St Croix Boom Site. I had heard there was a hidden waterfall and wanted to check it out. There's not a specific trail to it. From what I read you go down the stairs and take a left following the river.  I think it's an old state trail that isn't maintained and has way too much graffiti.

With Spring Comes Biking

By Anonymous
Whenever daylight savings changes I flip the mattress. (I know I'm a little late) Every new season I change the duvet cover.  Scott actually helps me this time. Yup, I'm cool like that. I was a little worried we had too much dough so we got out every pan that could be used for muffins. I was wrong, we only needed two pans. By the time we actually eat "breakfast," at least that's what Brooke calls it, Peanut has already finished most of his Organmix. I know, we spoil the little runt. Speaking of Brooke's fascination with breakfast, she will not eat anything that resembles lunch for her first meal of the day. So, even on the laziest Sunday, breakfast comes before lunch. As you can see Brooklyn really loved her muffin-fast -- even if it was already 1 p.m. While I finish up some dishes Brooke cleans the kitchen. Did you know that Brooke is a cleaning expert (really, she'll clean your house or cook for you. H...

A Few Thoughts to Pass the Time

By Anonymous
I'm sitting at the library, my new hang out besides random coffee shops. Class isn't for another 2 hours and I've finished all my homework. There's a guy running across holding his pants up and rush hour is just setting in. I never realized how weird Minnesotians actually are until I saw American Idol last night. They were doing auditions in Minneapolis, which Randy liked to call Minnehopeless. I thought it was just the culinary students that we're weird at my school, but no it's the whole state. The majority of the people that I know here are not actually from Minnesota, only one that truely is seems ok to me. Maybe I'm just like them but I don't want to admit it. School is alright. It keeps me busy. I like that some classes only have 10 students. Everyone in my Nutrition class eats healthy and reads the ingredient list but me. At least I get to take home everything I make in my baking class. Summer seems so far away. I need to find a place to live befo...
