New Light

So for Christmas this year Monte and Danawn (aka mom and dad grandma and grandpa) had our family and they just happen to buy me the most AWESOME light for over my island and when I say awesome I mean AWESOME it is hard to tell from pictures but it is a antique copper brass color and the glass bulbs have tiny little bubbles throughout them like they where hand blown, (maybe they were I'm not an expert on glass or anything!) and Ballard loves it because it is from Cabelas I have been waiting and waiting trying to find the perfect light and voila they did it! So we wanted to give them a huge thank-you and tell them how much we LOVE our new light!! Danawn also painted a very beautiful sign for the beginning of our driveway with our house number and an elk on it and when it stops snowing I will post a picture it is gorgeous and Ballard loves it!

Christmas Time

So Christmas has come and gone and it was wonderful the kids got lots of goodies

Bailey's favorite was of course her new Dell laptop, Brody's favorite gift was his new sled but the best reaction was for his new Pokemon cards who knew Pokemon cards were the best thing EVER!

Merry Christmas

Here are pics of Ballard's last three years of whitetails he has taken in Saskatchewan and Bailey is holding his Sask whitetail and home whitetail 2009 we hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and A Happy new Year!!

Brody's Christmas Concert

So this last week we had Brody's christmas concert and we were a bit concerned that he would be like his father and just stand there and be stubborn but boy were we surprised as he danced and preformed his little heart out.... way to go Brodz! He is in the red and white shirt with the #90 on it, they did a rockin xmas song and we loved it1

New Moon

So it has been awhile since I have posted and we have been having fun workin hard and are very much looking forward to a few days off! Bailey and I stood in line for 3.5 hrs to see new moon and had fun standing in line with friends! In the chairs are Bailey's friends Sydney and Carly with Carly's mom who was Brody's teacher last year! In the next picture is my boss's granddaughter Tori in the light blue coat and her friends they are all hockey players and are cute as buttons but will tear you apart on the ice! The Last pic is Bailey doing her favorite thing TEXTING!!

2009 elk

So Ballard got his elk last weekend, it was late sunday night and he had to get up early and head to camp so this is the best we could do for pictures! But hey an elk is an elk and the freezer is full who could ask for anything more!

we are making progress

So Ballard decided we really needed a wood shed this year, {my nagging about how hard it was to build up the fire with wet frozen wood that is three feet long had nothing to do with it!} and so we have been working on it for the past couple of weekends as he is in camp and only home on the weekends but it is coming along nicely and if the wind cooperates we will put the tin on this weekend! Of course it has somehow grown in size to now being a wood slash storage slash meat hanging shed! Gotta love a man with vision!
