Fishing Season is HERE! :(

Here is a picture of Mike and Kaiden fishing last year.

My husband is an avid fisherman and this time of year I am pretty much a fishing widow! He is in tournaments almost every weekend through most of the summer, it gets to be pretty old as well as expensive. The past few weeks it has already started with entry fees and all sorts of fishing lures that he just can not live without. We went to the Cities a couple weekends ago and Kaiden went shopping with him, only to rat him out once we all met back up (That's my boy!). We got in the car and Kaiden belts out in a disgusted voice, "Dad spent so much money on fishing lures that it seriously made me sick!". As I was giving Mike the eye, mike was giving Kaiden the eye. It was actually pretty hilarious!



Anyways, Mike took Kaiden out fishing last night and Kaiden came home pretty excited that he caught the most fish! Mike said they had a great time and it was great that Kaiden did so well. I only feel sorry for the poor girl that Kaiden ends up dating some day... As I think he is hooked on both hunting and fishing and history is sure to repeat it's self!

SPRING!!!!

Whahoooo! The weather is beautiful and Spring fever has started set in! I got the itch on Friday to get some patio furniture for the deck... Thankfully Lewis had just received their shipment of patio furniture and I found just what I was looking for! I got it home and unloaded just in time when our wonderful friends from Colorado Springs arrived! Needless to say we had to spend the evening on the the deck with a bon fire and S'mores! It felt so good! I just love this time of year! It was so fun to have them here for the weekend. Trish if you read this... Thanks so much for your great wisdom and I always enjoy our deep conversations! I don't think we will ever run out of things to discuss!

Bye for now!!!

Karsyn's Drawing

Here is a picture that Karsyn gave me. I think it is just too cute! I love her spelling on the picture. We are going to take the kids to Disney Land this summer... We are hoping anyway. Can you tell she is just a little excited.

If you can't make out the text it says "I gina go to Daney Land". You can click on the picture and it will make it bigger.

This past weekend!

Here are the kids after playing in the mud in their swim suits getting cleaned up!


This last weekend we had our nephews stay with us! It was a lot of fun to have them here, they only live an hour a way but it seems we don't see them near enough! The kids had a great time playing out side in the beautiful weather and even more fun in the MUD!!!
Isn't it great to be a kids!

Winter is among us!

We had a wonderful, beautiful snowstorm; and I loved it!!!! The excitement of a little kid came over me as I watched the big beautiful flakes started to fall, and fall, and fall some more! The kids and I stayed home Thursday and Friday, it was so nice to hang out with them. We went into Ben Franklin to pick up some craft suppies and stayed busy learning how to crochet on Friday, which is something I have been wanting to learn for a long time! The kids played with friends and had fun in the snow. Here are some of the pics from the past week!

This is just down the street from out house, kaiden was making ramps to go off of with his sled~

These are pictures of out side of our office and Main Street in the town that we live in!
Doesn't look so pretty!
