Senior High

Here's an idea of what a night with the Senior High youth
group would be like... 



I really don't think he needs a Monster... WHOOO!




Energy - energy - need more energy....


The beloved Youth Pastors. You guys are amazing.






Small Group Leaders

This last week was a whirlwind of PhotoBooth insanity! 
We started things off with the Vineyard's Small Group
Leaders on Wed & Thurs night...  and actually not all of
these nuts are even Small Group Leaders, just random
goofs walking through.



Has anyone seen Brian? 






We had a lull in the action...

Signe aka Kitty

This morning Sig was pretending she was a mama kitty.
In her box...


On top of all her kittens...


Peeking out...


Sleeping...



I wish I could fit in a box and shut the lid and tell everyone
"SHHHH, we're sleeping!"

Grand Opening

I seriously feel so lucky to be able to say I LOVE MY
CHURCH!  Not just the super rad new building it's in
but all the people.  It's a great place, if you're in the 
Duluth area and think church is dull, stuffy, boring, uber 
religious etc etc... don't write it off until you give the 
Vineyard a shot! For more info on them check out their

It was a full house on Easter weekend when they opened
the doors at the new location, Al and I got to be apart of
some action and take some pics.  From a distance it looks
like there are cars filling the parking lot...


But actually if you don't drive a motorcycle you won't be 
let in the doors!  Not really, but there are a lot of biker 
dudes and dudets.


In the "lounge" folks lounge around.


An all-out-full-fledged coffee bar... yum.




Aubrey, Asa and Clyde rockin it out.  There should be a 
cover charge to get in church!


Welcome.


Preach it Michael.

6 Grand-Girls!

Little girls in Easter dresses... AND mud boots, seriously
can life get better than this?
We had a bright noon sun for this shoot and 6 crazy girls,
here are a few of my favorites!

Ring-Around-The-Rosie!


Cousin smooches to little Cassidy.



I think someone is cold, even with her cool gloves!


I love this picture!



This one just makes me giggle, I tried to get them all to 
put their heads together... alas, two out of the six. :) But
a camera full of hair is pretty cool.


And of course our favorite Maddelyn and Audrey. The other
four gals are their cousins, they were all together for the
Easter weekend... I imagine the guys felt a little left out.

Yummm Maple...

It wouldn't be spring if my Dad and Barry didn't make
maple syrup!  I remember many many "snow cones" 
made right out of the snowbank - nothing better.


Dad and his pipe - I tried to get Signe to put the pipe in 
her mouth.... 


You can almost smell this picture... boiling sap, burning 
wood, pipe smoke and spring.  Good stuff!



The best part will be syrup on pancakes and waffles and last
year dad make this insane pumpkin, maple cheesecake.

Random...

I was cleaning up a few files and found these...
We were at a snowshoe race being nerds, with a little
point and shoot camera! I love my husband!
