Godmama Ernie

Marshall, Dee and I spent the day Saturday in Sioux City doing some Independence shopping! Marshall really enjoyed Victoria's Secret where he found some pretties of his own!

I was nice enough to bring Marshall some fireworks to play with too! His favorites are the party poppers and the snaps! When Dee & Loren set off the bigger fireworks Marshall would say "Bang Mommy, Bang! Bang Daddy, Bang!" He is just too funny!

He also now calls me Ernie - plain as day! It started off as Ern...and he added the "e"! Dee likes to encourage it - so I may be Auntie Ernie from now on!

Even More Snow!

This Time I didn't get snowed in at the Farm...no this time Dee and I got snowed in at my apartment at the Towers! It was a very boring day - even work couldn't get out there to pick us up! ~ erin

Our Weekend Getaway

New Addition to images by Erin

As owner of images by Erin, I am pleased to introduce the latest member of our team joining us behind the camera....Mr.Marshall!

As we tried to take family pictures Marshall became more interested in what I was doing behind the camera than being in front of the camera! For a while he would walk around the lights and come plop in my lap and watch the image on the screen pop up! Then he tried for himself (with the help of a remote trigger) and managed to capture some images of Dee and myself! I think it looks like super work...BUT he is too cute to stay solely behind the camera! ~ erin

Sidewalk Picnic

Labor Day weekend is the unofficial end to summer and many use the weekend to picnic. We weren't going to picnic because we were going to Olive Garden...but little did I know we would get to picnic - just so Marshall could have his afternoon snack! It was great fun and a gorgeous day.

Olive Garden & Shopping

This past weekend was quite event filled! Saturday Mommy, Daddy and Marshall spent a portion of the day shopping in Norfolk for landscaping items. Then on Sunday Mommy, Marshall & Erin made another semi-annual trip to Olive Garden (where Marshall tried his first breadstick & after dinner mint) with a few stops for shopping. Marshall is sure good with the cart...always willing to help! Now that he is walking he wants to get down and go - which makes shopping a fun game of chase Marshall around the clothes racks!

Marshall could become a secret shopper...watch out if you are in retail sales!

From the Fair

There was a whole big thing that happened at the Cedar County Fair this weekend. See my work blog to read what I have wrote on the page above! It is a really good story and worth your time.

Sunday Afternoon

This past Sunday afternoon was spent slaving away in the Dee's nice new Kitchen - Marshall supervising and Loren working on the new deck. We canned 50 jars of Spicy Pickled Green Beans...and jammed out to oldies!

Here is Marshall Dancing

Very Proud of the Dance just performed.

The Olive Garden

We had been planning to go to the Olive Garden for like a year and finally decided to use a Saturday and just go! Really that is the only reason we drove all the way over to Sioux City - but we did do a little shopping while there. Marshall not only experienced Olive Garden for the first time, but walked the mall and visited Victoria's Secret for the first time too!

Annual Characature

Do you think they go closer with this year's characature or last years?

Together!

I can't wait until Dee and I get to be together again! I do love Marshall...but work has become unbearable with out his Mom! I need my Dee!!!! It is so hard to gossip and complain to each other when she is missing out on all the action!
