Not sure why this picture makes me enjoy being a mom, but it does. Love the pure enjoyment of A. yelling...I'm DONE!!!!! Doesn't even care that she still needs me to wipe her. I don't even care that she still needs me to wipe her.

Funny how this picture/activity reminds me of how the LORD just loves taking care of the little details of our life.

Phil 4:12-13 "I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through HIM who gives me strength."

HE will provide each and every thing you need today...I'll remember that as I have a million things on my heart.

Please pray for A and L tomorrow...A gets her tonsils out first thing Friday morning.
love ya...

Grma Marge's Carmel Rolls

We have a great tradition on the Skurdal side. Carmel rolls. Sticky buns in some cultures:-) So, since we live far, far away from Williston and carmel rolls only show up on special occasions, I decided it was time to learn the skills.

While I don't have a step-by-step process on pictures. Here are some, of the 16 hour process of yummy goodness.

Thanks to Grandma Marge for tirelessly creating these masterpieces, for all those years, for all those people.

Summer Shots

Some of my favorite summer activities thus far. Visiting Grma Jean and picking rasberries.


Held our first ever Skurdal Fun Run in Williston ND on the 4th of July. 30+ Family members either walked or ran or strolled or rode bike for the 5k Race for the cure (we're not sure what the "cure" is for).

Swimming with friends has got to be the best summer activity on record. If you've not been to Burnsville water center, you've got to go. Pack a picnic and enjoy the fun!

Just returned from our 10 day vacation to Williston ND and Souix Falls SD. The girls loved seeing their cousins and grandparents. We ended the trip with an overnight in Apple Valley with cousins and camping out in the sun room.

I am continually blessed by the relationships in our family. Thanks to all of you who made the trip!
