Growing Up Baby

Our little one is changeing everyday and is becoming more and more entertaining. It seems that he is into the teething stage. He cannot stop gnawing on his hands and anything else he can get his mouth on.
Playtime with Daddy!! He pulls at Dan's nose all the time.

Staring contests are always entertaining....

Early mornings with mom. Since we're awake, we might as well play.

HEEELLLLLLOOOOOO!!

Fall Family Festival

This past Friday night, Halloween, I got to see all my hard work come to fruishion. With the help of over 35 people, including myself, Bethel entertained more than 300+ people for the Fall Family Festival. It was so much fun seeing all the little children dressed up and some parents too!! Isaiah came over with Dan for a little while dressed in a little rooster costume. It was pretty cute. After a long week of planning and organizing, I finally crashed on Friday night and slept like a rock. It was great.

For Nanny in NY

WE LOVE OUR NY GIANTS!!!!! Thank you Nanny for the Giants outfit. Now I can hang out and watch the Giants with Daddy in style. I love you!!

A nice Saturday

It seems like a rarity that I get to spend a whole Saturday with Dan and my little price, but today I did and it was great!

I just love this guy

I am so lucky to have such an awesome husband. Sometimes, you have those moments when you realize it. That happened today. He's amazing....

Our little guy turns 4 months old tomorrow. It's crazy that time flies by so fast. As a working mom, I can now relate to those that say, there is just NEVER enough time with your child. Someday, I hope to have more time at home, but until then, my moments with him, look something like this.


Hee-hee, hee-hee!!


What?


Huh? Did you say it was time to eat?

Sisters Weekend in Fargo

This weekend was our annual Gundersen girls weekend. We had a blast together, doing everything that sisters and girls do. We stayed up late, ate great food and desserts, drank lots of coffee and talked til' our ears were worn out. There's nothing better than sisters. We made some great memories!!

Most Dayz

Most days this is what you see around our house, Daddy with his boy, just chillin'.

Visiting Fargo

This weekend my sister Julie moved from Colorado up to Fargo. She and Jane are living in an awesome townhome and were in the process of painting this past weekend. It was SO fun to visit them and see all the decorating they had done.


My very good friend, Julia, stopped over mid-morning to my sisters new place and see Isaiah. It was wonderful to see her again!

Mom's Bread

Tada!!! I successfully made my mom's famous bread. Thanks for the reciepe mom!!

God's Love through Isaiah

Our growing boy gets bigger and bigger everyday. We are so glad to have this little one in our life. Lately I have been thinking how much I love Isaiah and how I would do anything for him. Then, I realized that Christ's love must be just like that....and he did do the "anything" for me....he died for me. What a joy it is to get a little piece of God's love through a baby.

For Grandma & Grandpa

I just thought I would crack a little smile for my grandpa and grandma who are far away in Norway right now. I love you guys!! I hope you're doing well. I'm sure you miss me everyday, but I am doing just fine. I can't wait til you get home, so you can hold me and make me smile. After all, it's all about ME nowadays :) Shhhh.....don't tell my mom!

Bath Time

Our little duck after an evening bath....what a sweetie!

Congrats Jane!

This weekend my youngest sister moved into her first place ever in Fargo, ND. She got a townhome located in SW fargo in a great location, with an awesome job to go with it!! Congrats, Janie on making such a great move!

Our little TV lover

One of Isaiah's new favorite ways to entertain himself is to watch sports. It's amazing because he's not so interested in TV in programs in general, but whenever he sees a game on, football or baseball, he is GLUED to the television. Probably not something we are going to encourage forever, but for now it's great when we are trying to do something.

A visit to Cooperstown

This weekend we visited my sister and her family in Cooperstown. It was such a nice, quick little get-a-way for the three of us. It seems like if we don't physically leave town on the weekend, we don't take a break from our jobs. So, this weekend we went to Cooperstown to help out by taking care of my sisters kids for the whole day on Saturday. We make cookies for breakfast, played with dogs and kittens, rode dirt bikes and four wheelers and caught gardner snakes (DAN and the boys did NOT me). To say the least we had a blast with our nieces and nephews! Umm, umm......fresh cookies....
Miss Holly LOVES her animals, especially her kitties!So cute! Isaiah just relaxing sitting between his two cousins. Of course the cousins had to try making him wear hats that were too big. All they end up doing is falling over his face anyway. :)

Even with a pacifier in his mouth Isaiah still can't hide those giggles. Auntie Lisa just loves her cuddly moments with Isaiah. She his special aunt since she was a part of his birth day.
Isaiah's cousins just LOVE spending time with him. They took turns holding him, tickling him and making him giggle. They are so glad they have a little boy cousin!
Miss Holly is the little monkey in the family! She is so sweet and makes everyone laugh!

Japanese Jinbei

Do you see Japan in future?? This is one of the cute japanese outfits I recieved from friends overseas in Japan. My mommy and daddy's friends, Tomoko-san and Uwe-san sent this to me for my birth day. I will fit into it really well next spring and maybe go to some matsuri, if we can find one in MN that time of year. :) Hello! Tomoko and Uwe!!! THANK YOU for my new outfit. It really matches my eye color well!
