Favorite photos with my blog friends!

"Mary" Christmas! I put this as my Facebook profile Christmas picture every year. It's tradition.

My favorite memory with Rambow... testing out the goggles!

I laugh when I see this picture of Rocky & I... I mean who wouldn't dig us?

Sisters! I really really love this photo because it reminds me of Thanksgiving, home, cutting wood, fall, pheasant hunting, the farm... oh and mom never having any food in the fridge.

This is the day I learned that you must wear plaid to the Balgaard Thanksgiving.

And how could I have a photo of my sweet friend Beth without her sweet mom (and Mary & I). After all, this was my impromptu bachelorette party!

Renee & I won this cupcake by being the most "crazy". Imagine that!

My favorite 10 hour tri partner! I love this action shot of Jen & I from our 1st 10 hour triathlon!

This cracks me up. I don't remember what the conversion was about but our facial expressions are priceless!

Frey Dinner

So here I am eating my dinner and Robby comes over and said "babe, you have to eat the skin of the apple it's the healthiest part."

I look over and this is what Mr. "Healthy" Frey is eating for dinner...

The Karley special...

MN Pride.

As you know, I'm a Vikings fan. I may not be able to name all of the players or know all of their positions... but i'm from MN so by default i'm a fan. I do get excited to watch the games and even tend to jump off of the couch and scream if the game is close. So far this season has been quite disappointing!

We had a decorating contest at work and Erin & I won tickets to the 1st home game for having the best decorations! Our space was filled with an entertaining video, cupcakes, wear the Ragnar stash, game calendar... and a lot more! The game was fun... but at the end of the game Erin's husband turns to me and says " this is like watching a slow death" and wouldn't you know we ended up blowing the game. I've learned that being a Vikings fan does not come easy at all... but it sure is fun!

Erin, Elsa & I working on our decorations and homemade helmets!

Robby came to check out our decorations. Yes, he got a cupcake and a stash :)

Joe's (my boss who is a packers fan) fish have something to say!

My ride to the game.

My sisters showing me how to tailgate in style.

Tickets from the best boss ever!

Skol Vikings!

Haiku-pons!

I'm all ready for my Target trip tomorrow! Maybe not quite as ready as someone from extreme couponing... but ready enough. I have a feeling if Mary and I lived within 20 miles of each other we could get really good at this.

So in love...

A weekend in paradise

Here are some fun pictures from our last trip to Ashby... or as Robby likes to call it Paradise. If I could go home every weekend I would!

Pelican Lake sunrise - Coffee on the deck with Dad

Morning ski before 7:30am!! (Thanks to Mary Ida i'm an early riser now!)

Nothing beats dads banana pancakes cooked over the fire!

He is pretty proud of his creation.

The grill masters (Justin & Sam) competing in the 2nd Annual Ashby Ribfest!

The cute pelican we bought mom & dad for all of their help with our wedding.
