the 2012 Boating Season has begun...

 Willy loves boating!!! We have been out a couple times this year and boy are Willy and the kids having fun. I enjoy it until Darby gets tired of her life jacket and screams the rest of the ride until we decided to go home so she can take it off. Willy tried talking me into going on the tube... but it just isn't that warm yet. These die-hard fishermen are loving the trolling motor... but the fishing isn't very dependable.... they have caught a couple pretty good ones... which I mutilated when I tried de-boning and filleting {there wasn't much fish left to eat, lol}... next time Willy can fillet them and I will just be the cook. Happy fishing...

on a go jeepin, please... Darby

This is Willy's new toy... for this month. We traded one of our boats for it. THE KIDS LOVE IT!... and so does Willy. He counted up how many vehicles we have had overall:

4 jeeps

2 Chevy trucks

3 Suburbans

1 Tahoe

1 Expedition

3 cars

1 Explorer

7 Ford trucks

2 Dodge vans

3 Dodge trucks

4 boats

4 four-wheelers

1 Snowmobile

3 horse trailers

6 campers

This is nuts! And more than likely this list will at least double or triple in our life times. I think Willy likes this too much.

My Rogue Husband

I love my husband. He is so handsome. Sometimes he does some funny things. He shaved his head but forgot to get the whole thing, lol. We had a good laugh and he even kept the mohawk for a couple days to see if the kids would notice... they did when he wasn't wearing his hat. Life is fun!

I hope Willy had a good birthday... his birthday was spread out for 3 days. We all had a great time ice skating. Willy enjoyed jumping the kids over a ice bank on the pond... they got some pretty good air. And of course we played hockey. Willy got pink Strawberry cake for his birthday because that is the only cake we had in the cupboard when we decided to have cake and ice cream, lol, it was funny. He liked blowing out his fake plastic candles, lol. We all enjoyed the cake... there is nothing quite like lava cake. We played some Wii games and shot off fireworks... which was the kids and Willy's favorite part. (they like playing with fire) Willy is such a good husband. He works so hard takes such good care of our family. I am so grateful for him!

2011 Muzzleloader Deer Season

Willy stayed up at Rock Creek with David and Morgan for the first few days of the hunt. They saw a few bucks but didn't get them. He came home and we have gone up as a family a few times. This year hasn't been strictly hunting and driving around as in past years. We drove up to Rock Creek a couple times, but we have also gone fishing and went after wood one day while we were waiting for sundown so the deer would come out. But Willy didn't get his deer up in the mountains. Wednesday night just before the hunt ended he went down to hunt by Alex's house... they saw some bucks but didn't shoot them so they headed down to a David Evan's house... he has always been so good to our guys and let them hunt on his place... that is where Willy shot a 2point. He had a good time hunting and got his deer... and this year is nice because he took his deer to McKinnon's, so I don't even have to cut up deer this year, but I am sure there will be some elk to cut up later. I am a little sad that we didn't get to go with Willy to see him get his deer and we didn't get any pictures... hopefully next year we can.

Happy Hunting
