HARRY POTTER

So this is Brody's version of Harry as a Prince the top picture is his wild and crazy version which you can only do at HOME! And the bottom picture is how Harry would behave at school! I wonder if Harry wore Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Underwear!

New Kittens and Camp

So we finally found some manx kittens and they are so sweet! Brody is holding Bella but the boy Jake aka Jacob was feeling camera shy he is a very cute grey with black and brown stripes color and we love them!

So Ballard is back in camp uggggg! He hates the camp he is in the cook is terrible and well he really hates it but not as much as Brody he REALLY misses his Dad so he insists on crawling into bed with me because it makes him feel better or so he says! I snapped these pictures the other morning because he totally looks so like a Schumann man!

Bear guiding 2009

So Ballard guided a couple of Wyoming bear hunters last week and took some really nice black bears he also was on the Christensen Outdoors hunting show with bear hunters from 2008 so he is now a famous t.v star! Hee Hee we are so proud of our hunter man!

fun times

Here are some more pictures of the boys on their fishing adventure Brody loved the octopus that they caught and thought the crabs were awesome!

More pictures of the fishing trip, brody caught a dog shark, red snapper, and of course playing his Nintendo! He loves to fish! We can't imagine where he aquired his love for fishing perhaps we have Grandma and Grandpa Rice to thank for passing on some good fishing genes!

holy halibut

So Ballard and Brody were able to go ocean fishing on the Anna Christina which is a 52 foot boat that Gulbranson logging purchased, they went with three other guys that Ballard works with and they had a blast! One of the guys Mark caught a 105 lb halibut! Brody and Ballard each caught 30lb halibut and a ton of other fish salmon, cod, red snapper, crabs, prawns and other various critters that of course Brody brought home for his collection! The weather was beautiful and they had such a great time!
