Zackary Ties The Knot!!


So it finally happened, Zach and Ashley are officially Mr. and Mrs. Zach Moedl, Congratulations!! I still think of Zach as that little boy who threw the biggest tantrum because his older brother brought a girlfriend with him on a brother outing. Zach was so upset he called me names and told me how much he disliked me, I think he even cried. Oh, how things changed. Now I'm Zach's favorite Sister-In-Law. Sharlynn and Brett did a nice job with all the planning and decorating. The wedding was at their home in Swan Valley. The food was absolutely delicious, and the weather perfect. Ashley looked beautiful and Zach didn't look have bad himself.

Summer Fun

Take Me Out To The Ball Game

Lexie attended her first baseball game on August 16. We went with the Ricks Family to a Chuckars Game, we had a nice time. The weather was perfect and the Chuckars actually won. The highlight of the night was when Lexie got her hands on my coke. She LOVED IT! We would take it away from her and she would throw a fit. Addict already, I wonder why?

COUSIN SLEEP OVER
Jacey stopped by my house early this spring to visit and I wasn't home. She did some exploring around our yard and noticed all the fun things to do. She decided that it was time again for her and Mikki to have a sleepover at Aunt Mindy's House. The summer was so busy that we didn't get to have a sleepover until late August, just before school started. We had a BLAST! We did all those things that are expected at a sleepover. We ate, watched movies, went swimming and stayed up too late (It was 2:00 A.M. when I heard them having a pillow fight).



Palisades Horse Ride
What a beautiful ride. If you haven't been up to the Upper Palisades Lake you are missing out. Ryan and I have rode this trail several time and will probably try to ride it again. The view is breath taking, and you always see a moose, or maybe two. On August 12 we left Lexie with the babysitter and went with Nicole, Tiffany and Suzie we had a great time. Ryan got to ride wacky Wacco and he made it home alive. We were fearful at one point, Ryan decided to take a different trail, Wacco didn't like that much you could hear him whining through the trees. John Wayne, I mean Ryan, showed Wacco who was boss, what a COWBOY! Who would have thought considering where he started.


Las Vegas - Neveda

After eight years of marriage I finally got Ryan to take me on a trip. At least thats what he wants me to think. I went to a seminar for work and brought Ryan along for protection. It was HOT (around 110 degrees). Ryan almost melted right to death, it's amazing he made it back still 6 foot. We had a nice time regardless. We went to the wax museam, rode in a gondala, and saw the lions and dolphins. Lexie spent six days with her Grandma Moedl in Swan Valley.

Oh, JULIA!!!
Ahh Romance, Ryan couldn't keep his hands off of me, can't you tell!
Game of HoRsE?

Miss Blue Eyes

Here she is! One night when Ryan was at work Lexie and I had some fun on the back lawn. Lexie had a hard time paying attention to the camera. She kept watching the Libbie. I had my hands full trying to keep her attention and the dog out of the picture.









Campin' Out

We had so much fun camping in Sawmill, Lexie loved it because she had her parents full attention the majority of the time. The motorcycles got left home and we purchased an ATV. Lexie would fall asleep, every time we went for a ride.


Little Fish



Lazy days of summer, there is no better way to cool off on a hot summer day. Lexie loves to splash and play in the bathtub, so a swimming pool was an absolute must.

Nielsen Reunion - Island Park











The Nielsen Family Reunion was held on the 4th OF July in Island Park. Everyone was there expect for Jeff and his Family. We had a nice time we boated, rode bikes, and of course we ATE! Lexie loved playing with her cousins.
