Mom found a friend

His name is Charlie. He's pushbutton steering, or rather push boot steering!!!

I will follow you. Wherever you may go....... I didn't even have any feed.

4th of July

We don't always catch the biggest, but they put up a good fight!
Baihley and Laura on the tube. We let them take it way out in the lake and drift back!!!!

Addlea's first marriage proposal!


The girls were bored and so were entertaining themselves! Don't ask!!!



Tyler's 4 lb Bass. It tasted great.

POA Show in Winona

Baihley in her green sparkly shirt in the arena.
Showmanship.




We had a good day but couldn't compete with $20,000 horses, $600 show clothes, $20 hoof polish, paint and oil but Gizmo did good in the ring, Baihley had fun and Mom talked to all sorts of people!

Fun in the sun



Jim is waist deep in muck... Tyler's not sure he wants to get in. The first step to moving the dock!!!
As you can tell, not everyone is working!!!
Here we go; floating the dock on barrells. Good idea!



The dock.... in the middle of nowhere.
Eventually we got it half done; it now meets the land and after pulling weeds and raking muck we have a kind of sandy beach and can watch the fish swim around. The dock will be fantastic pan fish and Bass habitat.


Tyer is pretending to work.... actually it was a lot of fun. Only one pair of shorts won't come clean.

Memorial Day weekend

The water has changed so we're moving the dock... Then maybe the drought will be over. We'll try to comb the gunk and make a beach too while we're at it!!!!!!!
Sitting on the dock, the old dock, Baihley and her friend had three beaveers playing in the mud and they took lots of pictures. Oh yes, they named them too!
A beautiful sunset on the lake. Notice the fishing pole. I was taking pictures, someone else was fishing. I used it for effects!!!!!!!


We took up the new Lund boat to the cabin. Here the boys are pushing off and heading out to the lake. The new boat didn't help their fishing efforts any but they had fun.



Eating outside; the only place to eat on a beautiful day at the lake. Tyler, Mom, Andrew, Aubrey and Baihley. For once, Mom got in a picture.

Oxbow park

Tyler played the last game of the baseball season; well as the coach would allow. He made a phenomenal play, last out of the game. Somehow I almost caught the incredible catch and throw. Had the wrong camera!!!!
Then we ran to Rochester where he played in the church softball game. He had fun; I watched 4 hours of ball. Perfect day for it !
Oxbow Park had their Annual Spring Fundraiser and in honor of Doc Zollman who passed away last fall, we took the mini's and people spent the day petting, sitting on and enjoying the horses. They had their pictures taken and did lots of patting horsie faces. Long day but fun.

Baihley talking while Rosanna is being petted.


Flash wasn't crazy about standing for 5 hours being petted but he did alright.
