Happy 26th birthday Ryan!!!

Ryan went to a decoy show in Perham today. Here are some photo’s I dug up of him.

Busy, Busy, Busy!!

What a busy day!! I just went to work and when I found Dave had trimmed and fed all the apple trees…..

Tilled the garden and Asv’ed the driveway with some of the kid’s sand from their sand pile….

Ryan and Grampa V. had taken an old boat trailer….

took a cutting torch to it….

and some time around 9pm Grampa drove off with a new trailer for his 4-wheeler!!

And all I did were the dishes after coming home from work.

Here are some tub pictures of Raleigh from last weekend.

And Josh and Shyla after their run.

Easter

One of my 2 favorite holidays!! Thanksgiving is the other one. I was not

disappointed! This is Leah’s first Easter and she is wearing cute bunny bottoms Pam sent her!

 

 

Look at that hair!!

This is the Wilson Family picture for 2009 (spring). We hope to have one in the fall also. Isn’t this a nice looking bunch!!

 

I promise to Blog more !

Pizza Party at Dave and Barb's

Sunday Dave, Ryan, Corey and I went over to Dave and barb's to make homemade pizza's.  They turned out ok, but I should have made my own dough instead of buying the cheap our family dough in a can. Still living and learning I guess. It was great to see the kids. DJ had a friend over and we all got to see the deer in their back yard. I can see why people feed them, they are very interesting to watch.

Grampa and Sam.

A doe looking at Tyler in the snow fort.

See the patch of snow on her forehead.

I guess deer play too!!

We plan to watch the Super Bowl next Sunday at Dave and Barb's. Not sure if we'll have pizza again....

P.S. I'm trying to keep up with Shyla. She has done an amazing job keeping me satisfied with pictures of Leah and Raleigh.

Welcome Leah Lynn to the clan.

  Thursday, January 8, 2009. Dave and I met our first granddaughter at about 12:30pm. What a little peanut  she is. Here are some pictures we took.

It was so hard to leave Fargo today. Back to work tomorrow. It will be so much fun to watch her grow.

Spearing season 2008

You know it's spearing season when you walk into the kitchen and this is in your sink.

Here are a few of Ryan's northern's from this years season.

This Northern was quite the catch. Ask Ryan he'll tell you the story.

Warping of the Loom

After much procrastination and excuses I can finally say I'm ready to make rugs!! Here is a picture documentation of the steps needed to warp the loom.

Putting the warp on the back log.

 

 

  

Next threading the warp.

  

Tyler was a BIG help!

  

  

Next step attaching the warp to the front log.

We are ready to make rugs. We should be able to get 5 rugs off this warping.
