Last weekend we headed to Wisconsin to be with my Mom who had a surgery done at the UW Hospital. The thyroid removal surgery went extremely well, and she is recovering perfectly! My mom has successfully beaten cancer twice, and she is one of the strongest people I know.
We wanted to be there for her, and would not have missed it for anything.
While we were home we decided to throw a birthday party for Emma who turned 3 on the 19th. We had friends and family over and the day could not have been any nicer. The weather was perfect and it was s nice to spend the day with people we see way to little.
About 1/3 of the way to Wisconsin the Jeep rolled over the 100k mark, maybe we can get another 100k out of her!
Just chillin with my "coffee"
The absolutely amazing Barbie cake that Grandma Frank made for Emma's party, so cool! Thanks Gramma!
Gift opening, she is so spoiled, its not even funny!
Captive Audience
On Monday, after the surgery we had to stop at Ellas Deli in Madison. I had a few vague memories of my grandpa and grandma Stobb taking me and my brother here when I was very young. I walked in the door and it was like walking down memory lane. The pictures do absolutely no justice. Every sing thing on the ceiling or walls is animated and moving. It is the coolest place I have ever been too, Emma's eyes wandered non-stop just like mine did when I was here age.
Another view
Oh yeah, and the food was amazing as well.
On the way back home we stopped back in Valley City to pick up the new puppy we picked out on the way. We would like to introduce our new friend and hunting buddy, Jake. Jake is a purebred German Shorthaired Pointer.
Emma Loves her new buddy, he is still unsure of the whole idea.
I think they will get along just fine.
I will be post again tonight or tomorrow, as I type this we are getting ready to throw another party for Emma, this is for the local Williston friends and co-workers. Like I said, she is spoiled!!
