It had been a bit of a cool start to the summer, so as of last weekend we had only been to the beach once before. We just met up with one family, this time. David is a mean griller, […]
There is a PRCA rodeo about a half hour from our house, and we finally got it on the schedule and went to it this year. We put the word out to a few of our friends and met them […]
We had fantastic weather while we were up at the lake for a few days over the 4th of July. It was in the low 80’s and sunny. We spent a few hours each day fishing with nightcrawlers (long, fat […]
In our nearly constant desire to expose the small children to “culture”…we took them to the horse races. So we could drink beer, eat cheese curds and gamble. “Culture” *fist pump* It was a pleasant day, that was supposed to […]

These are only pictures of the significant snowfalls. We got more than just this… April 11, 2013 April 19, 2013 April 23, 2013 We also got some snow in May, though it was just a dusting. We missed a huge […]
Well, heeeeeeeyyyyyy there! Yes…a blog post! *fist pump* I kind of had to, though, since we have a Birthday Girl over here! The big EIGHT years old today, and oh how excited she was for her birthday present…getting her […]
Hey, a new recipe…sort of! I saw this recipe on Pinterest, which leads into this recipe. I made a few changes to her recipe. After shredding the roast (in my Kitchen Aid mixer), I put it back into the sauce […]
