Long time...No talky

Greetings from the Stout home! We have been so busy with life and I have just not made the time to BLOG! So sorry!

Here's the update....


This past weekend we went to Minnesota for a Shogren family get together. We stayed at a Residence Inn about 1/2 mile from the Mall of America & IKEA. We had a great time seeing all of my family: Phil, Heather and Zak (4 1/2 months), Amanda (11 weeks pregnant) and Dan, and my parents. Friday we arrived in the cities about 6:00 and went to the 2-story Chuck E. Cheese and played a ton of games and skee-ball (sp??) and then back to the hotel for a dip in the pool and hot tub. Saturday we went swimming, ate breakfast, and to the MOA for lunch and shopping. The boys stayed until about 2:30 and the went back to the hotel for the kiddies' naps. We walked around and browsed a lot and Heather bought a shirt for $3.99 (no tax!) at Lerner and then we rode a Timberland Twister and headed back to the hotel. We all went to Outback for dinner and back to the hotel for more swimming. The other 2 couples headed home for the night and the grandparents and us headed to bed. Sunday am we slept in, ate breakfast and swam some more. After we checked out we headed to IKEA and WOWZA I could have spent OODLES OF MOOLAH! It was awesome and I cannot wait to go back in a few months- minus the girlies...that way we can take our time and really shop! It was awesome to walk through the showroom and I got tons of ideas for Christmas presents for my niece and nephews.

In other news....

Tim's job is going great...I am subbing a bit here and there....Madison is registering for 1/2 day kindergarten at grandview next year & Morgan will be going to preschool 2 days a week. FUN!!! Madison and Morgan are growing like crazy and they are SUPER excited for Easter and the egg hunt. However, before then I need to plan Morgan's 3rd birthday party (April 7th) and Tim's 30th birthday on April 18th.
