Time to catch up!!

We are still alive in this NW country! Since August 20th we've been going like crazy..with weddings, and visiting family and friends, a week trip to Iowa, and now home. Here's a few of the highlights...
We held a fish fry at our house on Wednesday, September 2nd with Joe and Cindy Painter, and the other two hired men, Vessel and Kevin. My Mom and Grandma were also here visiting, so it was a FUN time and everyone went home with full bellies! The guys standing around talking while eating the fresh fish as soon as it came out of the fryer! ha!

IOWA corn..only the best! This is at my parents farm in Iowa. My Dad and Gunnar were checking the corn after Gunnar had gotten a tractor ride! It was so much fun being home!


Look at that face...what a goof! Precious boy..4 months old on August 30th..can you believe that??

While in Iowa, my brother and his girlfriend had some good friends of theirs get married! Mom and Dad were invited, so Gunnar and I tagged along. What a beautiful ceremony and reception. Evan was a groomsman. Here we are, Gunnar and I, Evan & Julie!

Here's Mom & Dad looking so nice and beautiful during the reception!
Tractor time..Dad & Gunnar on the John Deere!
Gunnar & his Johnny Poppers on Grampy JD's John Deere! And yes, how appropriate that my dad's initials are JD...I know..Jerry Dean!
Proud Uncle Evan and Gunnar...SO cute!
Jessica Painter and Joe...this is how they rode..hand in hand, until he had to give his daughter away to Casey..it was an amazing ceremony and reception.

Gunnar Sage wearing Dad's hat...and we found him a western shirt! He had ladies swarming all over him!


On Thursday, August 20th, Jessica Painter married Casey Holmes in Belle Fourche at Besler's Cadillac Ranch. It was B-E-A-Utiful and never going to be forgotten. Horses and buggies, a live band, a gorgeous couple, an unforgettable night. My parents got to come to the Hills from Iowa, and we spent the night in Spearfish. After a fun time at the wedding we headed to Pierre on Friday. Nathan was Best Man in Kit Bramblee and Kayla Gabriel's wedding on Saturday. Another beautiful couple and such a fun time! We stayed at Nathan's dad's new home and had a fun time getting to catch up with my parents, and Tom. On Sunday, Mom, Dad, Gunnar, and I got loaded to head to Iowa, while Nathan and the girls were heading home to Buffalo.
The week in Iowa was a blast. We got to visit many family and friends, and do some relaxing! Mom and Grandma brought Gunnar and I home on Sunday and they left the next Friday, so what a wonderful time we had!


Look at that face...what a little lover! Grandma Foreman and Gunnar! Grandma babysat one day while Mom and I ran to the Hills for me to get my haircut and run to Walmart. It was a fun day with Mom, and I know Grandma enjoyed being at home with Gunnar. He's wearing an outfit that Evan used to wear, it looks so cute on Gunnar.

Well, I have a TON of other pictures that Mom took, but for now this will due! Mom and Grandma got me all caught up on housework and laundry, but somehow it starts to all add up again! Tomorrow we head to the Hills, Nathan rolled his ankle a couple weeks ago, and chipped off some bone, so he has an appt to see if he needs to get that bone removed. So wish us luck that it turns out and heals okay!
