Sunny Fishing at LongBridge

We took the kids sunny fishing at LongBridge... they had a blast.

 Addie and Chase both caught a bunch of fish.

Dylon's Graduation - He did it!

Well... Dylon graduated from Detroit Lakes High School.  Now its off to NDSU this fall.

Here are a few pics from his big day.

House projects

Shawn has been working on a number of projects at the house. He replaced the trim, put in 6 panel doors, and then went to work on the basement.  We finally got that ugly post out of the center of the basement, and painted.. then put in new carpet. It is looking AWESOME.. can't wait to decorate.

 Nice floor huh??? Why cover it up??

Our playset...

Shawn and Chase built a playset in the backyard... all that's needed now is the roof

and a few finishing touches. 

Dylon's Senior Prom 2012

Dylon and Kayla went to the senior prom.  She is an exchange student here from Austrailia.

~Happy Easter~

The kids and I had fun decorating eggs one day. Addie only broke 2 of them. That is definitely an improvement from last year.

 The Easter Bunny came again this year.. and went a little overboard..

 We went to Jamestown for Easter this year.. and finally got to see Heather.

Addie and Chase somehow conned her into playing at the park, in the cold wind.

 Addie didn't want to sit next to Chase for a picture, so I had to take them separately....

All in all it was a good Easter... A good time was had by all.. easter bunnies came and went... and we made sure to give the kids a good sugar high before sending them back to daycare on Monday.



Mexico 2012

We took a family vacation to the Riviera Maya and I must say a good time was had by all. Dylon graduates this May, so we wanted to do something fun as a family before he goes off to college. It was awesome watching him experience a whole new culture, as well as his first plane ride.  Chase and Addie also came along, and I loved watching the excitement in their eyes as they realized they were flying high in the sky above the clouds.  We enjoyed the 86 degree weather, and spent plenty of time by the pool.  Chase didn't really care for swimming in the salt water as it always seemed to find its way into his mouth.. Nope he wasn't a fan of that.
