Brielle's dedication

What a great weekend! Grandpa Burger, Grandma Hoegh, Mom, Dad, Elaine, Kalie, Henry, Chad, Jaime, Jerome(Ashley), Jacey, Owen, Clara and Elsie all made it to Brielle's dedication church service. Brielle wore a gown that my Grandma Burger had made 35 yrs ago. Her mom helped crochet it. Janna, Jaime and cousin Amy all wore it for their baptisms. It was special to see Brielle in it. Grandma would have loved to have seen her in it. The whole day was very meaningful for us. Afterwards we played yard games, ate and sat around and talked. Thanks to all of you for coming. We hope everyone had as much fun as we did.

Yankton and beyond

Lots of pictures so beware. My cousin Scott got married, then my family went to Yankton for a few days of boating, biking, campfire and more. Brielle wants to go back as soon as possible. We'll have to work on that. Everyone made it except for Janna:( Janna, you better make it for the next outing. The following weekend Aubyn went with Leah to Lake Shatek with her family while Owen, Jerome and I traveled to Mizzou for a b-ball tournament. Brielle missed me but let me know it's ok that I go to things like that.

Fun Fun...

...and more fun. Everyone seemed to remember my birthday this year which I was hoping they wouldn't. My co-workers decorated my office very creatively and topped things off by putting my stapler into jello. Aubyn took me out to eat with Keith, Neliegh, Owen, Leah and Brielle. Aubyn knows I don't like big parties so she came through for me. Then was Kalie's wedding which was alot of fun as well. Congrats Luke and Kalie! It was good to see all the relatives over the long weekend. Speaking of relatives, Brielle will have a little cousin coming from the Van Kleys! Chad and Jaime are expecting in December! Congratulations you two!
