Surprise!

I was surprised by Tyler, his mom Kim, and Schale the morning of my birthday with a beautiful necklace!  I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family!  Thank you!

Family Pictures

We were lucky enough to have Jason Gemar take our family pictures and Schale's one year pictures. They turned out awesome! Thanks Jason. You are so talented!

Attempting Christmas Pictures

We attempted to do Christmas pictures the other night!

And this is where we ended our attempt!

Fall days!

This past week the weather has been beautiful. It even hit 70 degrees this past Friday! We spent lots of time outside playing in the leaves!

Birthday!

It's hard to believe that Schale is already one! It just seems like he was this little tiny baby! We love you Schale!

Halloween!

Not so sure about this!

What are these things?

Take it off mama!

Oh wait, these are cool!

Schale had a wonderful first halloween! He dressed up as an elephant! We went trick or treating up in Newburg at grandma Evette's and great grandma and grandpa's. Then headed to Upham to go with Lunde's! It was a very long night and Schale was fed lots of candy by uncle Russ! Naughty naughty! We are working so hard on getting our new teeth we don't want any cavities! Schale has 6 teeth now! I will post pictures of his first birthday soon!

Fall already?

I can't believe it's already the middle of September!!! Where has the time gone? In this past month Schale has gotten his first haircut, went to the Bismarck Zoo, went to the splash pad, and has grown into such a little boy!

silly daddy!

Lovin' the water!

3 generations of Welstad's!

I love my daddy!

Turtle Races

We went to Upham on Saturday for the Turtle Races! It was the 30th Annual and they had over 130 entries. It was a great day, street fair, supper, bouncey houses and games for the kids, turtle races and the street dance.

I also included a video of Schale. He is starting to walk a little with some help! He loves walking behind his toy!

Summer Fun!

Fourth of July weekend!

We had a wonderful weekend at the Big Lake! We used our camper for the very first time and loved it! We can't wait to go camping again soon! Schale got his first jet ski ride and first boat ride! He fell asleep almost instantly on the boat. Thanks to the Nelson's for letting us come down and spend time you all! We had a wonderful time!

Tyler and I got to have some fun on the jet ski too. Thanks Dianne for taking Schale in the boat!

Schale lovin' life!

Time for a snack!
