Minnesota Yahh-- Part 1

This is my first out of three posts about our trip to Minnesota.

 We had the best time visiting all my cousins, aunts and uncles!
We are so lucky to have such a great family. I wish Oregon was closer to Minnesota! 

Thank you Rodning and Dierks Families for the wonderful hospitality.

Leaving on a jet plane. She was perfect!

Look how happy she was!

First night meeting her cousins.

The next day we headed to the Rodning Ranch and Ella got to sleep in Brock's barn crib.

Off to the pool with these patriotic cuties!

Brock and Ella just chillin' at the baby pool

Swimming really wore Brock and Ava out!

On Thursday we made our way over to Lyle to meet the Nelson side of my family.

 Ladies lunch-in. That day, Roger was one of the girls.

The Nelson kids

Back to Fairmont in time for Mexican. Ella is sitting in a big girl high chair.

 We celebrated Emily and Payton's "birthdays".

That night Ella got a new hairdo. Blond like mommy... Scary!

Ella lovin' on Uncle Gary

Kari and my Godson Brock

Three out of four of the newest "Ennen" cousins and their mommies.

Ella and one of her favorite cousin Ava!

I hope they will have same close connection their mommies' have.

Gavin is sooo good with babies. He was always trying to make her laugh!

The cousins again, with Grandma Dierks leading the trio.

They were not too happy about this photo shot. They are even adorable when the cry.

Too Funny... look at all their faces!

Ella sitting up like a big girl at the airport.

Another perfect flight for Ella. She is a great traveler!

Be on the lookout for the next post-
Ennen Reunion/ Bachelorette Party.
