Sprouting Sinnemas: Happy St. Patrick's Day ~ 2014

Mom and Dad came to town for the State B Girl's Basketball Tournament, as well as some birthday parties. And we always like celebrating our Irishness!

Though Dad is All Norwegian! Here he is with his family one Christmas. He's in the back row with the big smile. He is the third eldest in the family, in between his two sisters.

The back row from left to right are: Sid, Harold (passed away 2 yrs. ago), Edward, Norman (recently passed away), Selma, Arthur, Sarah and Ingwald (passed away 4 yrs. ago). In the front row are: Carl, Grandma (Olga), Grandpa (Albert), and Ralph (the youngest)

Just like Papa.

Out for a little walk and getting a view of Amsterdam.

He is only two and before I know it he is going straight up this hill from the bottom! No angles for him, or help from his Momma!

Over to the Fieldhouse to watch the M-ettes take 2nd place against undefeated Fairview! They were so disappointed, but it was a fantastic game, and that center was tall and unstoppable! So glad we went! And next year, pretty much the whole Malta team will be back (and Fairview's center will not)!

So fun sitting in the Malta section and seeing so many familiar faces! Many good visits!

Mom; always the avid sports fan! She is a faithful listener on KMMR all these years. And this year, this is her first game in person, and very much enjoyed.
I didn't get a good picture of Holly, unfortunately. But so glad she came, too! Up from Billings.

Adam's birthday! March 14, 2014 and turning 38! His Mom's birthday is tomorrow, but we're planning a surprise party for her on Sunday!

It's been such a good year! Last year, this time, we had just moved back! We are so thankful to be home with family, with a good business arrangement, and a better family life!!

Mom is surprised! And she enjoy surprises like this! So it was extra fun! She also received the most birthday cards ever, this year, too. We had a nice dinner with friends and family and a good afternoon.
