What a Fish!!!!


Bri has gone ice fishing a couple of times this year. We have some really great friends. We are so lucky to be able to spend time with such great people. However, this weekend the guys went by themselves to Otter Creek and after fishing all day Friday and then a good nights sleep, Bri caught the biggest Trout on the lake Saturday. It weighed 4 & 1/2 lbs. What A Whopper. Great Job Honey...you have become quite the fisher!!! Or was it just Luck? The last day trip the boys took was a couple of weeks ago and the lake had melted quite a bit. However they seemed to enjoy one another's company just as much. Thanks for being such great friends all you fellow "Hurricanites" We truly love you all are so grateful for the friendship we share with you all.

Ellie & Joshua are getting a new Baby??




Well Lindsey, Ben, Joshua and Ellie came for Hunter's Birthday and as we were all sitting around the table eating lunch, they shared with us that they are having another baby. Hooray!!

We knew that Ellie was not the end of this story. We also found out this week that it will be a baby boy. What A JOY!!! We are so excited for your cute little family to recieve a new addition. Aunt Kellie always likes hearing that she is getting a new neice or nephew too. Congrats Ben & Linds!!

St. Patrick's Day Party




We decided that we should celebrate St. Patrick's Day with all our good friends. Brian has always thought that I was crazy to color our food on holidays (i.e orange on Halloween, red on Valentine's) But the kids always seem to love it and it always brings such memories to me of my childhood. I had such a great mom who shared her love for life with me and her energy to make it great each and every day. Thanks Mom!! So we had a green dinner....Green potatoes, green chicken, green salad and even green desserts. It was such a blast. Maybe this will have to be an annual tradition.

Little Blessing

Just not 4 months ago, one of the most important events that will ever take place in Brian and my life happened. I gave birth to our third baby. She came 3 weeks early after much hardship and even surgery. She was only 5lbs. and 3oz & 18 inches long. Though early she was healthy enough we took her home less than 24 hours later. Each time we have done this it gives me such a renewed hope for life and what it is all about. These little beings are so precious and we are so lucky to have them in our arms. I don't always appreciate the miracle that takes place while I am pregnant because of all the ailments that seem to take over my body with each pregnancy. Yet I can't even begin to imagine the love that our Father in Heaven has for us if this is how I feel about just one "little" person. What A Blessing!!! We love you Brianna and are so grateful you came to our home. Kenna and Hunter love you so much too. They can't wait until you wake in the morning to "see their baby" And neither can I! We feel so lucky to have such a beautiful, healthy, happy little girl enter our home and bless our lives each and every day.
