Here is "Auntie Lisa" with Addie. This was taken at Addie's 1 year birthday party, Adeline fell in love with the singing lion Lisa bought her! We will miss Lisa when we move!
Adeline is shocked that we not only gave her that whole chocolate cupcake but that we kept urging her to eat it.....all of it! Big mistake though, she turned psycho on us after all that sugar! I seriously thought that she was going to knock over her chair!

When will it be summer?

Today Adeline and I went to some of the water parks to look at prices for a season pass, and then I got to thinking--is it worth it to even buy one? We have had nothing but rain and wind here! Ugghh

Something funny for ya!

The other day I was talking to my mom and she told me the funniest thing! Mike had told my mom this joke or riddle! It could be kind of crude to some, so if you have sensitive little ears.....do not read any further!
We have been through a lot of crap and are still together! Can you guess who or what I am??
BUTT CHEEKS! ha ha ha!

Ahh, who does't love a good jog!?

Today, I went jogging for the first time since I had Adeline. Talk about out of shape! We live super close to the Red River, so I just drive there and get my grueling run in! I am not a big runner, but I love how I feel after! Plus, it is such a beautiful scene--running along side the river with the cool breeze and seeing all the ducks! Just to be safe, I got myself some pepper spray and lets hope I never have to use it! Wish me good running!

Our visit to Washington

When Adeline and I went to visit my family in Lacey, Washington--it was her first time meeting most of them! My mom was the only one who came up when Adeline was born. We had a fun time, Adeline loved playing with her Oma, Opa, Kensie, Mike, Brandon, and her cousins! While there, we were able to see Kirsten and her family, Dan and his, along with Dori and Sebastian

My mom and dad couldn't get over how "thick" Addie was! Even my tough dad complained about how his arm would hurt after holding her!

Here I was trying to get Mike to lift up his shirt so Adeline could find any lint in his belly button! For some odd reason, she loves belly buttons and finding its "treasure"!

I don't think I have seen such a small fish!!! Yet, Jake looks so proud! We were in Colstrip Montana when Jake caught this little Bluegill!

Gone Fishin'

Who is the better fisherman of them all? Lets compare! The funny thing is that I don't know what I am doing half the time, I just get lucky! This is the biggest fish I have caught thus far, hopefully I can beat 20 inches this summer on a Walleye or a Catfish! I caught this in Idaho Summer 2006
