Our Family's History

My photo
Our family started on November 1, 2003 when Doug and Lauri got married. We added to our family on August 7, 2005 with the arrival of Ronnie. We live in Shakopee, MN and enjoy going to the gym, the movies, karate, and Papa's (and Nana's) cabin in McGregor on weeekends.

Cute girl cousins on the dance floor.

Ronnie has really shown an interest in taking photos using Mommy's digital camera. Thank gosh we can delete pictures easily, because he gets a little photo-snap-happy! Theses are the best ones...

Family Wedding in Duluth



The wedding site - a gorgeous view of Lake Superior.

Doug's cousin, Chad Layon got married in Duluth at Spirit Lake Resort. The setting was absolutely beautiful, with Lake Superior in the background. We had a great time visiting with family and dancing.

Fun at the Zoo!

Looking at the sharks and stingrays - but still a little too scared to touch them.

Ronnie's Karate Photos







Ronnie is a member of the Karate Cubs in Savage, MN. He is learning all about respect, discipline, control, self-defense, kicking and punching. In a few weeks, the class will be learning how to break boards! While Ronnie is the youngest member of the Karate Cubs (ages range from 4 to 7), he is enjoying the 30 minute classes 2-3 times per week.

Fun in Boise!


































In late August/early September, Ronnie and Lauri went to Boise and visited with Nana, Papa, Uncle Mike, Cissy and Keaton, along with many friends - Amy, Darby, Nicholas, Natalie, Gavin, Gabby, Donna, Ernie, Alex, Drew, Titi Jill, Will, and Elle. They had a GREAT time... as shown in the photos.
