Happy Birthday to me!

Today is my Birthday! My favorite day of the year, next to my kids Birthday's. Jason and the kids purchased a new camera for my Birthday! Don't look to close to my hair. I am having a flat hair day. (Yes, Jason is taking my photo with my old camera) I can't wait to use it. The zoom is awesome and hopefully I can take better photos of my kids.

Beltrami County Fair!

Saturday night we went to the County fair and had a blast. The weather was cool but, we still had a great time. We had fun checking out all of the animals and the kids had a blast on the kiddie rides. As you can see Ava is in all of the photos because she the most excited!

July 27, 2009

Sunday was a great day! We were very happy to be at the cabin. We did all of the fun things we like to do, fishing, swimming, coloring and ridding in the paddle boat. We were all sad to leave on such a nice day.

4th of July fun!

This year we took another weeks vacation and spent most of it at the cabin. Over our vacation we had 2 big celebrations. Braden turned 6 and then Independence Day! The kids and Jason did lots of fishing and running around. I did lots of reading and sitting by the lake. We even had an extra family member for a few days. Cousin Eric came and stayed with us for four days. Braden had a blast having a buddy with him. Eric and Braden had tons of fun fishing and riding dirt bikes in the yard. The weather was the best! For having a cool summer, I think it was the best week of the summer and we were on vacation at the cabin. We even went to town once to get some ice cream treats and to visit Travis and Nikki. Their "cabin" is one block off of the main drag in D.L. From their deck we could see the lake.

Our new puppy!

Hello Everyone! I am quite behind on my postings. Today I have posted 3 times. Please don't forget to scroll al the way down.

Jason has been wanting a big dog. (Well a dog that is bigger than Sashi) So Father's Day was coming up and I was checking the news paper for a dog. I thought I had found a dog for my husband but, I was not sure what kinds of questions I should be asking a breader. So, I asked one of my friends at work who breads dogs what kinds of questions does she get when selling her dogs. She was great help in telling what to ask and what I should be looking for. Now I was ready to contact the sellers on an ad in the paper that I had found. I called and they we already spoken for. It had only been one day. Now what am I going to do? Later that day my friend asked me how it went. I told her that it did not, they were all spoken for. She then mentioned to me she had a puppy that she needs a good home because they already had too many. Her son picked up this dog from a friend. She told me is was a cross with a Basset Hound, lab and Golden Retriever mix. And the only thing I could think of was a ugly dog. I told her no. A few weeks later went by and my friend asked me if I have found a dog. I told her no and she reminded me about her dog. I still was not sure again. So she brought in photos to work and I said I would take her right on the spot. She is so cute! We went as a family out to her house on Friday and we all loved her. Then on Monday night we went back out to her home and brought her to ours.

She loves getting her belly rubbed! Oh we named her Bailey!
She is a very good dog! She loves to run and paly but know when to settle down and relax.


Isn't she cute!




Ava 3rd Birthday Party!

My little girl has turned 3 already. We went to Papa Doug's cabin and celebrated Ava's Birthday. She had a blast! We had lots of good food and tons of family! Her she is with her new Barbie from Halle!
Later that afternoon we took a little boat ride around the lake. Ava was so tired she fell asleep against me.

Here is my cutie in her new Birthday dress and sunglasses!
