The Picker Family: June Update

http://thepickerfamily.blogspot.com/2015/07/june-update.html

Wednesday, July 8, 2015. School got out June 5th and summer started immediately for our family! Brent and I were both able to take the first week of Luke's summer vacation off from work and we headed to St Louis to meet our friends, the Ericksons, for a few days while they were in the area. We only get to see these guys once or twice a year, so we soak in as much time as we can together when we can. St Louis and Des Moines. Monday was our first full day together and we headed into Forest Park. And decide...

The Picker Family: One Dozen

http://thepickerfamily.blogspot.com/2015/07/one-dozen.html

Sunday, July 26, 2015. One dozen things I love and appreciate about my man after 12 years of marriage (in no particular order):. He's our behind the scenes planner in finances, insurance, bills, retirement planning, college savings, etc and he does a wonderful job. We still truly like each other and spending time together after 12 years of marriage and 20 years of knowing each other. He's easy on the eyes and takes care of himself physically, but also knows when it's time to splurge on a Culver's run;).

http://thepickerfamily.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

Wednesday, September 24, 2014. The Big Trip to The Big House. Last weekend, Brent and Luke had a boys' road trip to Michigan. To watch the University of Michigan play University of Utah football at The Big House. Brent has been to The Big House a few times before, but this was Luke's first experience. My recap of their experience (as captured from their stories) follows:. They stayed at a hotel in Kalamazoo, MI, also the home of Western Michigan University. The game started out with nice weather, but dur...

The Picker Family: Why Do I Walk?

http://thepickerfamily.blogspot.com/2015/05/why-do-i-walk.html

Friday, May 15, 2015. Why Do I Walk? I do a lot of walking. It's my favorite form of exercise. I can do it alone and enjoy the quiet, I can push Nora in the stroller and we can chat about our surroundings, or I can walk with Brent or a friend and can carry on a conversation easily while covering several miles. Spring and fall are the best for walking in Minnesota. The bugs are tame, the temps are cool, and the colors are beautiful! Tonight, we'll be at the Stay Out of the Sun. Near the end of his battle,...

The Picker Family: Sentimental

http://thepickerfamily.blogspot.com/2015/06/sentimental.html

Monday, June 1, 2015. The last week of school always gets me sentimental. I look at Luke and see how much he's grown and cannot believe he's got another year of school under his belt! The other reality is that with another school year passing for Luke, Nora is another year closer to starting school. Oh.my.goodness! Soon-to-be third grade graduate. Working on a sudoku puzzle. Big girl waiting on her mac-n-cheese at Wild Wings. Nora likes to be grown up in so many ways, but one recently development has bee...

The Picker Family: August 2014

http://thepickerfamily.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html

Friday, August 22, 2014. Style Tips from a Two Year Old. There are so many things I love about this lady, but I especially love this toddler stage when they're bodies are morphing from chubby little baby to miniature person:). Style Tips from Nora. Tip #1: Flaunt what your momma gave ya! In Nora's case, this would be her belly:) It's hard to see in this pic, but her tunic has an elastic band under her belly. As an adult, most would try to hide that tummy, but toddlers can rock it:). Did I mention this wa...
