Learning Lefse

Aaron's Grandma Agnes has created a legacy in the Kahl family - she is a master lefse maker. Masterfully rolled into large, fine, thin lefse circles. Cooked to perfection on each side, and with a taste that melts in your mouth. MMMMMMM!!!!

This year, on the day after Thanksgiving, Lois and Elise allowed me to learn about lefse making, as we worked together to attempt lefse that would be even half as wonderful as Grandma Agnes' lefse. It was an adventure!!! I still have a lot of learning to do, but the end product sure is worth it. YUM!!!

This is after a little too much Lefse-making!!!!

Tough Guy

Contrary to popular belief, Tyler did not get into a brawl with any of his little buddies. Though he has been learning to fight, like sword/boxing fighting, the black eye came as a topper to a long week and a half of sickness that was occurring between Tyler and Makenna. Tyler developed Optical Cellulitis, which gave him a complete black eye. He sure looked tough....

Great Friends = Good Times

We are so blessed to have such amazing friends in our lives. Friends that have surrounded us in lifes ups and downs, and that we have been able to surround in the same way. Friends that we can laugh, cry and just be ourselves with.

Some of those friends came to visit us (for the 2nd time) this past weekend - Matt, Molly, and Luke Thomas! We had quite the busy busy weekend, and it was so fun!!!! Baby Luke is quite the little charmer....watch out world! Thanks for coming Thomas Family...we hope you come again soon!!!!

Aaron's First DWU Win

The Hills

I'm a little late on this one, but, better late than never! Last weekend we traveled out to The Hills to watch Aaron's first bball games with DWU, and have a little adventure. Grandma and Grandpa Kahl joined the kids and I, and we sure had a fun time. We ventured the area, checked out the sites (that were open this late in the season), did some swimming, cheered loudly at bball games, and drove, drove drove. I am anxious to go back during "in-season" time, and spend more time out there. So much to see, and so beautiful. Here is a glimpse of a few things that we did while there. For details on the games, check out the DWU link to the right.

DIZZY

We have entered the stage of "Peat and Repeat", as my mom likes to call it. Makenna wants to repeat and attempt every last thing that Tyler does. Last night, Tyler started to spin in circles, AND, sure enough the brand new walker put her arms out, and a spinning she did go. She got SOOO dizzy. It was hilarious!!!

It's Official....

SHE CAN WALK! At just shy of 17 months, Miss Makenna has finally decided to make walking her main mode of transportation. She's totting all over the house, carrying things all the while.
