CHEESE!!!

'Tis The Season!

FOR A SNOW DAY!!!!

The blowing and drifting left the patio/sidewalk behind the garage, as well as the deck, fairly clear. BUT............it is still pretty limited space for Mr. Morrie, who is used to having 1+ acre to run around in. Reality bites, sometimes, Mr. Morrie.

This is the view out the front window. Please excuse the smudge on my lens. I didn't wipe it off after we came in from Blizzard Inspection.
I tried to go out to get the mail, but the drift in front of the garage door is about 5' tall. Morrie tried to figure it out, but gave up after awhile. Funny thing, tho. The driveway is clear with the exception of the snowdrift.
I wonder if Randy has a shovel in the truck??

His First Northern Pike

Last night, Mason caught his first Northern Pike. He was a very proud boy (and still is). Mason and Craig called me when he caught the fish, and he could barely breathe as he told me the story.

While Craig was cleaning the fish outside, Mason ran in and said "Mom!! As soon as dad cut the fish, all I could smell was fresh fish, like someone was cooking a fish, really fresh! You need to go out there and smell it!! It smells good!"

He also keeps telling people how he "set the brakes" to reel it in! and how s-l-o-w-l-y he had to reel the fish in because it was so heavy, and how his rod, which is usually straight, bent waaay down. He also likes to point out that Craig only caught a Bluegill, Rock Bass and Perch. Ahhh, what a sweet boy and a great memory for him!

The fish was 19 inches long and Mason just can't get over that! (All he has ever caught before are a couple of sunnies and maybe small trout)

Updates

The wedding website updating was scarce during the move/school year. Now that I'm done with school and my options are wedding/cleaning/packing/sleeping I am more inclined to break up the monotony with some sharing via the internet. Take some time and check out the new posts/pages. I hope to see you all soon.
Oh! if you know someone who has not RSVP'd give them a little encouragement, please.

It's A Boy!!!

And I think that his name is going to be Murray, but, at the moment, the votes are tied between 'Morrie' and 'Murray'. Randy likes 'Murray', and I like either one. So far, he's being a good boy. Sasha is stricken (that's a word you don't get to use very often) that there is another dog in the house.

Remind you of anyone? =)

One less molar in the world

Now, this is a mastodon molar, but mine was just about this big. At least I can say that my tooth was white..........

Happy Mother's Day!

This should be good for an 'Awwwwwwwwwwwww'.

Flew Kites (after a nap, of course)

Amy and I took our kites to the lakefront and celebrated the tradition. Wish you all could have been there. Except the box kites. Too hard to get in the air. Amy went with the American Eagle. I went with the classic diamond stripe. Windy and cold. Just like Washburn.

Happy Easter!!

I was going to post this yesterday, but our internet was down...

April 12, 2009

Three months from yesterday is the wedding, but today:





HOPPY EASTER!

A little bit of Sunshine....

on a cloudy, snowy day. When will Spring be here? We definitely have cabin fever over here, so a trip to Menards was a big event for us! It was snowy again today. It melted right away..thank goodness!!!

All I can see on the blog are the posts (which is good), but where did the other stuff on the left side go?

The Wedding!!!

Can you believe that all my cookies are aligned so I will post a few pictures of the wedding of Steven James and Amy Elizabeth Nelson . It was sooooooooooooo beautiful!!!

Mr. and Mrs. Steven Nelson with Mom and Dad!

Wacky Weather Contrast

Before Steve's wedding: birdwatching with the French Door open.

After Steve's wedding: my car covered with about 1/4-1/3" of ice.

Now for a public service announcement:
I have made the last 5 posts on this blog. I'm not going to post, again, until someone else puts some stuff on here. Sorry, but if it's going to be a 1-woman show, it makes more sense for me to post on my own blog.

C'mon, guys. You can do it.......

It's St. Patrick's Day!!!

And Heather's Birthday!
What a cutie patootie!
I was wondering what she caught, but I'm pretty sure that Justin is the catch!

This is posted a day early because I didn't want it to be late. See you Friday, Heather!

The Countdown
