An afternoon with the boys

Dave, Barb and Tyler went out to cut and collect wood for their wood stove. Dave Sr. was helping a good friend put in garage doors. Ryan and DJ were taking a break from spearing so i snatched these pictures of the boys.

Then after DJ and Ryan left for round 2 of spearing and after many attempts to capture Sam walking I finally captured a few steps. But due to the heavy traffic it won't let me up load the video. I will keep trying

Here are some winter pictures I promised My dear friend Mary.

Sam Walking

Merry Christmas Everyone

What more can you want than a white Christmas and good food. I didn't take as many pictures as I wanted but I still took some good ones of Sam who is growing so fast. He's walking around furniture and sometimes forgets to hang on and stands alone.

Update on Kitty

She won't be going out soon.

Kitty's dilema

This is Kitty. She's 10. This shed has been a place she goes to in the summer for a nap and in the winter to hunt for mice or to sleep in when she's stuck outside for the night. Three days ago this is where she was when the weather was a nice 25 degrees out. After calling and calling she stayed there for the night. Day 2 the weather was still a nice 20 degree's. After calling and coaxing Kitty still chose not to come down. That night the temps got down to the teens.

Day 2

Morning of day 3

Aparently Kitty was tired of the shed life and allowed Dave to rescue her.

Kitty's Dilema

Sunday

My apologies for getting lazy on blogging. I was so excited about being able to post a blog and pictures everyday and now that I can...well. I finally have something to post! Ryan speant most of his day off last Friday getting his spearhouse out on the lake. This is the first northern of the season. A 28" female with a belly full of Perch. How they don't gross you out too much. I bet you can guess what we are having for supper if Ryan doesn't decide to pickle it.

WINTERY DAY

After much pursuasion Copper ran around in the snow today. She was looking for her favorite treat...bunny poop, but I think the snow was too deep

wintery birthday weekend

These are a few pictures from this past weekend. It's also my first attempt at creating a slide show.

The weekend

Dave and I had a great time with Josh, Shyla, Raleigh and Josh's mom Deb this past weekend. Not only did we have the best turkey I've ever had but we also celebrated Raleighs 1st birthday! Pictures to follow. The weather tried to deter us but we prevailed. Josh and Dave spent a little bit of time shoveling off the deck but mainly using the snow blower. We had an interesting drive home but made it in time to see the vikings beat the Lions!! GO VIKINGS!!!!!

Weekend in Fargo

What a nice little drive to Fargo we had. I got off work at noon and we were on the road by 1pm. There's a little store in a town in called Aekley that always has something funny displayed on their property. This year they had a blow-up doll on a floaty raft in the middle of the pond next to them. Here's a couple of pictures.

Brrrr!!

I wore my winter boots and coat for the first time this morning so it must be winter. Dave and I will be heading to Fargo to celebrate Raleighs 1st birthday. A year already!! It seems like yesterday that Dave and I raced to Fargo for the new arrival only to wait till morning. No Picture tonight ...I just got lucky and remembered the passwor without having to call Shyla ha ha. If you want pictures check out Shyla's blog tonight. It's cute. I promise pictures when I return. I Lied, here's a picture of Pam and Gorgi.

Too many passwords

I have finally gone and confused myself with so many passwords and blogs and e-mails that I have to call Shyla who remembers everything to get the right one!! While I was trying to put in the right pasword for my blog Dave had this roaring fire going, the wind was blowing snow around and copper lounged on the couch. What a life.

Too many passwords!!

Good Morning

Good Morning! It's snowing!! Ya! Corey flies out this afternoon..frown. It's been nice having him home. He makes me laugh! Allot!! I'm having a ball with my new computer, thanks to Shyla and Josh. Look...I'm a blogger.

Way to go Vikings!!!

What a beautiful afternoon this turned out to be! Now that the game is out of the way I can focus on some banana bread and tuna caserole. A request from Corey and Ryan. Corey leaves tomorrow so I won't see him till Christmas. If all he wants is tuna casserole...well. Please be patient with me while I become accustom to my new computer. I have allot to learn. Shyla and Josh have speant allot of time getting it set up for me.Now that they have gone home I'm on my own....I will attempt to post a couple of photo's with this blog today. Wish me luck!!

Go Vikings!!

Good Morning. It's another good day to curl up in front of the fireplace and watch tow football games in a row. I just hope the Viking can do it to the Giants (I think hats who they are playing. I promise to post a picture of the fireplace and my computer later in the day. After Coffee and Pancakes. Shyla, Josh and Raleigh left yesterday....(frown). Now it's too quiet without Raleigh's little voice.

leftovers

So far we've had ham, egg and cheese breakfast sandwhiches, hot turkey gravy sandwhiches with stuffing . Ham and cheese omlets..I'm sure your doing the same thing. And it's all good!! Shyla, Josh and Raleigh will be going back to Fargo today (boo hoo). I have a new computer so if you get a moment please send me an e-mail to my new e-mail address twinone@live.com so I can add you to my address book.I also have two more sights to share with you. I havn't decided which one to keep but one is similar to the my space sight and the other is a blog sight.

Happy Thanksgiving

Another Thanksgiving under our belts..literally! My Dad used to say just before carving the turkey, "I wonder what the poor people are doing". I always wondered why he said that. We didn't have alot but there was always food in the fridge. I'm hoping this blog finds everyone well and stuffed. We are. Oh and welcome to my new blog. Shyla and Josh have successfully set up my new computer and monitor. High speed Internet will follow but not until the 30th of this month.
