The Meyer Family!

Gavin loved the toys! His cousin....whom might I add looks just like Justin, took Gavin and Lauren on countless ATV rides. My kids really should be living on a farm! They're naturals!

Gavin making it "go"!!!
Lauren loving every minute of it!!!!
The Meyer boys....don't ask me to name them all, I'm still learning! Uncle Peter turned 85 the other day and is still farming! I was amazed at how sharp his mind still is! We should all be so lucky! I loved talking with these Minnesotians....LOVE their accents! However, they said we were the ones with the accents...I don't hear it?!

Story behind the picture

I had heard about this monument from my mother-in-law. Justin climbed to the top when he was a child. When I saw it, I just knew it was the perfect photo op! Not as easy as it looks. It's on a very steep hill with tall grass and TONS of bugs! After Momma fell smack on her tush due to poor traction, we all got a good laugh and the picture turned out pretty good! P.S. I bought new shoes the next day!!!

Minnesota or bust!

Papa Tom, Uncle Richard and Uncle Paul getting ready to head out to New Ulm. It's 5 am and the storms are rolling in. Complete down pours on the way down!!! Paula, myself and the kids were nice and cozy in the car.....sorry guys!



Kids + rain = peace and quiet!!!!
I loved New Ulm!!! It's so beautiful and peaceful there. Great place to raise children...hummmm.

Gavin's a baseball player....named Joel

Gavin loves Tee Ball however, we missed the game where the team received their shirts so we have been wearing Uncle Joels Tee Ball shirt from the 1980's. Yes, Gramma Paula saves everything!!!




Gavin at bat. He's a very good hitter...not so good the fielding. There's just too much to look at!
Thanks Uncle Joel for the loan!

Lauren and Gavin from Christmas 2004??

This is a video I found from a few years ago.....WOW! The kids have really grown! Gavin is as big now as Lauren was in first grade! Lauren is and will probably always be, the smallest in her class! Poor thing! She got her height from her Mama!!
