Weekend in Blackduck

This past Sunday part of the family traveled to Great Gramma and Grampa’s house to put in some fence posts. The weather was perfect and the mosquitoes didn’t eat too much. While it was harder work for the men the kids managed to have a ball doing things kids have been doing forever.  Here are a few pictures of our day.

The first fence posts.

The field of Dandelions were almost as tall as Sam.

While taking a little lunch break the boys found Gramma’s piano.

It was a good day! We got allot accomplished and had a great time doing it..plus yummy burgers on the grill and potato salad and well, we’ll be going back!!

THIS IS THE BLOG I SHOULD HAVE POSTED AFTER LAST WEEKEND IN FARGO.

Since I had a three day weekend, Dave, Barb and the boys and I went to Fargo to see Shyla and Raleigh and Leah and to go to the famous Rib Fest they have at the Fargo Dome every year. Here are some photo’s I took of our adventure!

Raleigh and Sam in the Burly cart as we walked to the Fargo Dome.

 

This was the second day and it was about 40 degrees colder but we ate ribs and corn and deep fried oreos, deep fried cheese cake….oh my was it ever good. This got my son Dave and i talking about creating our own rib rub.

  Another great time with family. We are so rich.  What recession….This is priceless.

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.

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.
