New Car!!!!!!

Shane and I just got home from purchasing a new car.

2009 Dodge Journey

Silver Steel Metallic

I am pretty excited to be driving a new vehicle.

It didn't even have 200 miles on it when we left the dealership.

Fence

Our new fenced in yard.

Shane fenced in the yard so now the

puppies can play outside all the time.

New gate on the deck

New stairs off the deck.

Still need the railing but it looks pretty nice.

New Puppy!!!!

Shane, Riley and I are getting a new puppy on Memorial weekend.

We are fencing in the backyard so Riley and her can run and play all day long.

Riley is pretty excited, we keep telling her she is getting a sister.

They have the same father.

Here is a picture of the mom and all the puppies.

There are 3 females for us to choose from.

Pictures and name will be posted in 2 weeks.

We are all so excited to add another to our family.

Kole & Fenwick

Kole and Fenwick turned 6 in April.

We have been letting them out of the deck and they love it.

Happy 1st Birthday Riley!!!!!!!

Our baby girl is a year old today.

We gave her another 24" bone like she got at Christmas.

Thank you grandma and grandpa Pierce for the card.

Love you and I will make sure they take me to the pet store for a toy.

My parents recently sent all my stuff from when I was little

up to the cities.

Riley found this in my stuffed animals and claimed it for her own.

Now we ask her where her Bogey is and she runs to get it.

Fishing the Mississippi River has started!!!!!

Call me crazy, but the boat got wet for the first time this year, February 27th.

The landings are open 365 days a year at Evert's Resort.

We started off the day with a fresh 4-6 inches of snow and 4 degrees above zero!!
It was defiantly the first time I have ever pulled the boat in 4-wheel drive.

Holt and I ended the day with 5 small walleyes,

nothing worth keeping, and it was to damn cold to take pictures.
The day ending up be a whopping 18 degrees out when we loaded up.

But it sure was relaxing to be on open water again.

Hofius and I fished the "Freeze Your Butt Tourney"

on March 7th out of Evert's Resort.

We finished in 15th out of 75 teams,

we weighed our limit of 5 walleyes, 9.20lbs.

Just missing the money by 0.88lbs.

If the sun wouldn't have come out,

I'm positive we would've caught that kicker fish to put us in the money!!!!
Well, there's always next year.

Hofius, Shawn Spicer and I hit the river again March 20th.
In search of the walleye of a life time,
with high winds out of the south blowing straight up river,
I knew it was gonna be tuff.
Never found the big girls we were looking for,
ended up with 3 small walleyes but,
my 1st ever Sturgeon, guessing she taped out at 36+ inches.
It sure was fun, a 10 minute or more battle,
couple trips around the boat and 3 tangled lines, on 8lb test line!!!!!!

Riley's 1st Heat

Here's our baby in her new under ware.

Doesn't she look cute,

couldn't get a picture of her maxi pad, super absorbent with wings,

sticking out the sides and back!!!!!

I never thought a man could blush in a pet store,

but dad almost had to leave!!!!!
Mom and Dad are loving every minute of this fun!!!!!
