Our weekend Trip!

This last weekend we went to Arrowwood Resort in Alexandria, MN. It was a fun time. I don't recommend going if your pregnant because there isn't much to do. Dan's grandma won a trip up there, so that is why we went. Tyler had a great time. He loved swimming, playing miniature golf, and riding horse. He thought it was a lot of fun and didn't want to leave. I do have some pictures, but not much because we forgot our camera in the car until the last day. We will be getting prints from his aunt and grandma. Overall, we had a good time. Here are a few picutres from our trip.

Busy weekend away!

This weekend we have a family vacation with Dan's family to Arrowhead resort in Alexandria, MN. I hope that it will be fun. Tyler will have a good time swimming, riding horse, and maybe some miniature golf. It will be nice to get away and have a little family vacation before Alexa arrives. I will have pictures when we get back.

Last night was Tyler's last night of swimming lessons. He enjoyed swimming lessons and he even went off the low diving board twice last night. We were very surprised.

I did have a doctor's appointment today and everything went good, but just to be sure to call in if I have contractions, which I experienced over the 4th. I should of called in, but I was believing that they would go away. Now, I go every 2 weeks, which means I am getting closer to meeting our daughter. We are very excited.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Tyler.....

This week we have been busy with swimming lessons and just relaxing. Yesterday, (Wed) we got a package from my grandma and grandpa. We opened it and Tyler saw that it was a present for his sister. He had to open it. Well, when he opened it he found this really cute coat and hat that my grandma made. Thank you grandma! Here is Tyler with his sisters outfit :).... Thankfully Tyler is small. He insisted on wearing it and to have his picture taken.

Didn't have enough time...

So I didn't get another post in before the weekend. On Friday, I wanted to wish my husband a Happy 5th Anniversary! I can't believe its been that long. Time flies by these days. This weekend we spent the weekend in Huron helping my mom and and Ryan with their house. They are remodeling and adding on. There is a lot of work to get done, so it was nice that Dan can help them out. The night of 4th of July we watched a display of fireworks at the race track. They were really good, but got to be long (45 min.) Sunday I wasn't feeling the best, not sure what was going on, but I was done for the count. So I took it easy and hung out with my mom. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Until next time... Take care

I am back :)

For some reason, I just keep forgetting about my blog. I wish I could be better at this. Wait I could if I actually just did it. Well, the month of June we have just been relaxing at home. Tyler and I are enjoying our time together. I am ready to be done being pregnant. I know I have 2 months to go. I did find out she is two weeks ahead, so we shall see. Maybe she will want out at the end of August :) In my dreams. Tyler is growing and the things he comes up with is something else. He is getting very excited for his sister to be here. Well, I hope to post at least one more time this week. I will leave you with a picture of Alexa (Tyler named her) I am glad he picked that one. :) and a recent picture of me.


26 weeks 3 days


28 weeks

June already!!!!

I can't believe its already June. Well, there hasn't been too much going on here. I have been just getting big.. :) My last day at work was May 22 and then it was also Dan's sister's high school graduation. We went to that and spent time with his parents and putting cattle fence up. I know it sounds like a lot of fun to put fence up.

Then I had a doctor's appointment, which went well. She is healthy. Tyler and I have been just spending time together, which has been nice. I still haven't found a job :( I do have one lined up for the fall if I want to do it and it looks like that is what I need to do right now. In between there I got a call from my dad to inform me that he had a mini stroke, so his health is not so good, but doing better. They are still doing testing to see what is going to be next. It was scare for us.

Then last night Dan had to take me to the ER in Sioux Falls because I was having problems breathing and it hurt so bad to breathe. I was in so much pain. I was up with some pain at 3:30 AM Tuesday morning. It just kept getting worse as the day went on. So I called in and they wanted to see me, well I asked to go to Brookings, but they didn't want me too. Usually I won't ask to go to Brookings, but since I just left S.F. with my mom and they didn't return my call until I just got back to Brookings. I know I should of called back, but I gave them my symptoms, so I would think they would put it as a critical call back, but I guess not. So Dan wasn't happy about that going back to Sioux Falls, when I was just there. After a long night in the ER they found out that I had pinched nerve. Gave me some high pain killers and I actually got sleep. WOW! I had never been in so much pain in my life. At first everybody kept saying I had bruised ribs and there is nothing to do for those. It wasn't that. Well, I am feeling somewhat better today... I am sore still, but not as bad. I did go to the chiropractic, so hopefully I won't have to take much of the pain killers.
Well, that is about it for catch up with the Groenewold's. I hope to post more often. I know I say that every time. I will TRY :) I will leave you with a recent picture.

Wow! Where does time go.....

I didn't realize its been so long since my last post. I feel bad that its been so long. We have been busy with everything going on. Our weekends have been busy. We are not home much, which I wish we were. This last weekend we helped our friends move Friday and Saturday in Sioux Falls. Then we came home Saturday night to relax. Sunday Mother's Day we planned on staying home and relaxing. I called my mom to wish her a happy mother's day, but she informed me on what was all going on with her. They are in the process of remodeling their house. They are lifting the house tues. so they had a lot to get done before the house goes up. So I felt bad staying home and doing nothing. They didn't have anybody to help them. So we surprised her by showing up and helping them. We got home late last night,so making the Monday very long and tiring. I am approaching to my last two weeks of work. I keep looking for teaching jobs for the fall, but there isn't much out there. I would like to do some work from home, but you never know what you can trust. Well, that is all for now. I will try and post more often.
