Fun at Liberty Park!

Carnival Fun!

Grandma (Ella) Berg took all her grandkids to the carnival at the fair this year. They all got to ride 3 rides. Here are Weston, Ray, Sydney, Maddison, Mason & Brieanna on the pirate ship ride.

Mason & Brieanna on the boat ride.

Ellie and Sydney on the Merry Go Round.

They both picked to ride on horses, of course!

Ray rode on the Rooster.
Maddison rode with her Dad, Tyler close by.

Bekah my little daredevil, talked Weston into going with her on this ride.

He was a little freaked out at first, but Bekah loved every minute!

Pioneer Day Dinner

Dinner at Kathryn & Charlotte's house went well. There were lots of people and lots of fun.

We got the kids to stop playing and pose for a minute to get group photos (thanks Ashley).

There was a surprise (at least to some of us) birthday party for Maylie also.

Thanks to all who made it and all who made it a success.

Pioneer Day Bike Parade

Here are the entrants to the Berg Pioneer Day Parade.

Here they are working on their bikes, scooters and wagons.

Here's grand marshal JuLee starting off the Parade.

Next are a few of the entrants in the parade.

Everyone had a good parade and there was no heat exhaustion was reported.

Here are the only two pictures Ashlynn allowed at the hospital. She did not want anyone to know that she was in the hospital and kept getting upset when I told anyone what was going on. I finally figured out that she was embarrassed and I assured her that it wasn't anything she did wrong or had any control over. The picture of her IV was taken because it was by far the worst part of the whole hospital experience! Anytime anyone even bumped her hand it was TRAUMA! We were very glad when they took it out.

Thanks again for everyone's love and concern for Ashlynn!

haley & garrett

Some cute pics of the newest Berg babies...yes, Garrett is already attached to Haley...who isn't? :)

Haley Berg

The coloring on Haley's birth announcement didn't show up very well but I hope everyone can at least get to see her. We are so glad she has joined our family! Thanks everyone for the well wishes and congratulations. Thanks also for all your love and concern for Ashlynn while she was in the hospital. She is doing GREAT! We love you all!

Zoo Fun!

Some of the Kent Berg cousin's at the Zoo.

L-R Sammy(not a cousin), Bekah, Weston, Brieanna, Sydney, Ellie, in front Maddison, Ray, Mason, Annelisa holding Sophie.

We got to see the big cats walking around, and a leopard that had been trained to roll over. The kids thought to was pretty cool.
We even played at the Discovery park for a little while.

Here is Ellie hatching Brieanna, Bekah and Mason.

We finished our day with a ride on the Zoo Train. I think Mason and Ray thought this was the best part!

maile's culinary arts academy

Anneclaire was delighted to join her four older girl cousins at "Maile's Culinary Arts Academy," celebrating Maile's 6th birthday. It was such a fun party, everyone had a wonderful time decorating cake boxes, making their own pot pies, decorating their own cake after a cake walk, playing "guess the kitchen gadget" and "pin the pocket Maile's apron." As you can see from the photos, Ashley, Janice, & JuLee even made each party invitee their own darling apron (which they wore the entire party of course)! They also took home a collection of Maile and her friends' favorite recipes.

Happy birthday Maile! Hope it was divinely delicious!

Sydney, the Clown!

Sydney got to be Soda Pop the clown's assistant for the Story time Circus.

She did a really good job and helped the clown by holding her wand,

and saying "abracadabra!"

She really liked to dress up and she liked all the attention!

She was an awesome clown!

a bit of family blog buisness...

Hello Berg World,

i just noticed that we have gotten a couple strange comments on Sarah's Blessing post. Thanks to whoever deleted the inappropriate comment, and as a "contributer" you can do this. If you would like to be a contributer, the family blog shows up on your "dashboard," which is nice if you don't want to remember another password etc. Writing posts is so easy that way. Leave a comment or email me (your preferred email) if you'd like me to hook you up as a contributer.

Also, if we want, we can always go private with this blog (does anyone know the Santos gentleman who left the comment?). Once again, comment if you have feelings either way. This should be a fun site where we share as a family, and we want everyone to feel comfortable with who reads it, etc. The only drawback is that sometimes people don't realize they have been invited because the email address invited may be old or no longer in use...so we have to be better about passing along new email, etc. to everyone and updating our address books :).

One last thing, if you do have a blog that you'd like to share with the family, let me know or another contributer, and we can list you on this site. Sorry, just can't keep up with all these blogs on my own...so much easier when your told its out there or invited, etc.

Loves to all and happy blogging!

Sarah's Blessing

Sarah's Blessing went well today. A big thank you to all who were able to make it out. A bigger thank you to those who gave up their spouse for the weekend. We had a good time together.
Paul was very kind to play with Charlie.
He (Charlie) enjoyed monopolizing the attention of his aunts and uncles.


Saturday evening we took a walk around the OU campus to loosen everyone up from their plane trip here.

We all had a great time together. Thanks again to all of you who made it.
