summer, cont.

one nyberg 4th of july tradition is to go see anders play in the escanaba city band. this year not only did we get to enjoy great music but we also had some other entertainment in the crowd...laurel was being so silly! she was walking up and down the row we were sitting in pulling cob webs down when she realized that there were people sitting in front of us...and she could touch them! she started poking this guy. he politely ignored her for awhile, but it became so funny he gave in a laughed like the rest of us. you can see him in a picture above. laurel stood there and talked to him for quite awhile. she them moved on to entertain the crowd behind us by laughing and pointing at a guy wearing some kind of hat. he must have been making faces at her because she was laughing so hard (and so loudly!). i can see it now...in just a year or so she will be one of those kids dancing in front of the stage!

this post is for kaylan :)

i'm just going to start by pleading our case...we have serious computer/internet issues! that is why we are so terrible about updating lately, but since i missed cousin kaylan's birthday this is a special update just for her :)
here are some pictures from our summer. this is at grandpa carl's house. the boys and laurel are modeling some Vietnamese hats that Lena picked out for them. if you look closely at the picture of paul and laurel on the hammock you can see laurel is trying to catch a bubble.

WE LOVE YOU BIG GIRL!

catch up time

we have been very bad about updating this blog and so much has happened so I'm going to do a major update session with many pictures :)

In the last month we have gone to Duluth, Hudson, WI/MInneapolis area, Kalamazoo, had a 1st birthday party and played with lots of friends and family! The pictures on the bottom are from our trips to MN (and Hudson). Thank you to Anna and Jeff and Kaylan and Jeb for hosting us!!! Oh- and there are way cuter pictures from those trips but I guess Kevin deleted them from our SD card...I'll work on putting them up when we get home(we're still in Kzoo).

The first pictures are from Laurel's 1st birthday party!! She was so lucky to have all of her grandparents there as well as great grandpa Carl, great uncle Anders and aunt Rachel too! AND Teri and Wayne Sherwood! Thank you to everyone for sharing her birthday with us!

Almost 1 year old

Hello Everyone,
Well summer is well underway here in the great north. The leaves are out, some rain this morning is making our grass nice and green and the flowers are out. Amazing what a little summer color will do to someones excitement towards being outside. And, of course our little daughter is almost 1 year old in just a couple days. Again, amazing that we had had here for a year already, as well as Linnea and I living in our community for one year. So here are a couple pictures of here. Laurel really likes to be outside. Sometimes she chews on rocks and get dirt in her mouth. The other day she tried to take down and worm, however her father interjected quickly.
Hope everyone is enjoying their Tuesday morning back from work.

Easter Pictures

Here are some cute easter pictures, how cute is Laurel's dress?

Snow day

Well Hello Everyone,

Several inches of snow have fallen in the last couple days here. To bad that just under a week ago we were able to walk Laurel in her stroller with just our sandals and t-shirts. I mean I had even started to work on my farmers tan while out working with duff.
Laurel is doing really well. She is pulling everything we have off the shelves always in the laundry basket and she now has two little white teeth on the bottom. They grow up so fast. Linnea and I are staying busy with work and house projects. Soon we will be sending you some pictures of the new summer construction that will take place.
Ok enough, here are the pictures that you orginally got on for
