Fishing with Papa and Neena

Isaac cut the top of a bottle off and put raw pork chops in the bottom. He threw it out in the lake and waited for crawdads to take a bite! About 20 minutes later he pulled it out and found two!

My girls went fishing with Papa and Uncle Bert for the first time. They each caught a fish (we did set them free). Madelyn was so excited until the fish was out of the water floppin around......

My sweet, smelly little girls

Brynlee turns 4!

My little Brynlee, aka.....Brynster, Brynster Bear, Brinner Bobs, Bryn turned FOUR~

Let's see....Brynlee, well what can we say, she picks her lips, she's a clepto, sometimes we wonder if she is hard of hearing, and she is constantly into everything. However, one look at this little munchkin and your heart will melt. There is something almost angelic in this little girls face that just makes you love her. Regardless of whatever she does, you just want to snuggle her, pick her up and hug her and just listen to her preciously perfect giggle. She is our Brynlee, our little princess, our little gift from God, our daughter, and we couldn't be prouder parents to have her in our lives.

This is our new home~June 2010~

Our basement is HUGE! Eventually we'll fill it up!
The living room...........still working on the decorating. Luckily my mom is great with home decorating and has been helping me out.
I love having this kitchen! There is so much cabinet and cupboard space, it makes things really nice!

I will post more pictures of the house later. We have been swamped with our yard and getting it done. Maybe I will have some pictures on the wall............... :)

SUPRISE!!!

I have AMAZING friends!! Last night I was "suppose" to be going to dinner and a movie with Amy and Michele. Amy picked me up and we went to get Michele. When I walked in the door, this was what I got........ "SUPRISE!!"......... they showered me with wonderful gifts and catered my favorite Johny Carino's for dinner. It was such a great evening, I have not laughed so hard in a long time.

F-16 Graduation

The Ike-Man FINALLY graduated from F-16 pilot training!! It's official, he's an F-16 pilot!

In front of the f-16, it was so hot and humid that we only got a couple pictures. The girls were ready for lunch and a cool place by that time.
SMOOCH...................!!
We were lucky to have Bob and Helene (Ike's parents) here for his graduation. They are a great support and we were so glad they could make it out for a couple days.
It was a long evening. Social began at 6pm...........I was in heels, high heels.............they came off real quick! Dinner began at 7:30pm~we were starving! Following dinner we had a guest speaker and the award ceremony. It was a wonderful time and were so happy for our new graduate!

Camping

We went with some of our best friends camping at Garner State Park and seriously had the greatest time. We played in the lake, had a late Easter egg hunt for fun, roasted marshmallows and made smores, but best of all I got to tell all the little kids gross ghost stories and they laughed and laughed...Great Times!!!
It was a little rainy and cold on day two, we were bummed!
All the kids playing on a tree. It entertained them for hours!!
I bought Silly String for the kids, it was hilarious watching them run around spraying people with it.


I just LOVE this little girl!
Avery was going to town on Ike's hat. Whenever she saw him she would reach out for his hat and open her mouth up really big.
Hangin around the campfire..........my favorite!!
Yummy, SMORES!!
We did them for breakfast too!
