Trip to Michigan

I was so glad I finally got to see Kennedy & Owen - they are such good babies and I can't forget Livvy's new baby, Dutch - he's the one getting his ear yanked by Kennedy.

Crystal's horse Ruby is beautiful. Horses scare & fascinated me at the same time.

Father's Day

I love my dad.

Looking back now, raising two daughters probably wasn't always as easy as my dad made it seem. Always so supportive, fun and positive. Paw was always there for us even if his answer was "go
ask your mother" and we heard that A LOT.
My Dad didn't miss one of my games even if it was over an hour away, those couldn't have been fun but it meant so much to me that he was there.
My dad has also added to my vocabulary:
Stuffster - Secretory Stuff - Geejawed
and phases such as:
Vein Cleaner & Poop your Fur
and his favorite answer to any question:
"down the basement, in back of stuff"

He makes me laugh, he's my dad & I love him.

Molly-Whopper

My walleye puts this one to shame...

I finally got my first walleye - slippery!

Walleye

Brian caught the first of hopefully many Walleyes this Summer

Mother's Day

As you can see above, my mom is a beautiful woman - it is the inside you cannot see in a photograph.
I have nothing but fun, positive memories with my mom. She is the hardest working woman I know - taking many risks in her life. The biggest starting her own business that was not only successful but extremely demanding and not once did I feel that her family was not number one in her life.

My mom always made me feel important, and most importantly, she was always on my side.
I have wonderful memories of spending time at the cottage that she and my dad worked so hard for to the wonderful family vacations.

I admire my mom, she is an inspiration. Her awesome sense of humor & outlook on life has made me who I am.
Today, her and my dad are celebrating all their hard work in Florida.
They have earned it, and even though I miss them dearly, I am so happy for them.
I love you mom, Happy Mother's Day.

Brian in California

When Brian goes away on business he worries that I won't eat.
Well check out this fancy dinner I made tonight.
Triscuit topped with Garden Herb Cream Cheese & Roma Tomatoes.
This is going to be a long week of slavin' in the kitchen.
