Fun Times

It has been a while since I have posted a blog. So I figured you can hear from me for a change. We have not been very quick about posting our goings on. So there are a few things that I would like to add from the past month or so. Over Christmas we received a crazy amount of snow. This past week we had some warmer weather melting all the snow and we are able to see the yard again. It was amazing, we had snow for almost a month...it had to be some kind of a record. I have lived here for almost 22 years and don't remember having that much snow at one time or it sticking around for that long. I was glad to see it go.

A few weeks ago we got a whole bunch of track from Grandma Guenther. It was a huge step up from our figure 8 track set that we have had for several years. The night we got it, after the kids were in bed, I spent most of the evening configuring the "perfect" track. I have to say that I used every piece and it was the coolest track ever. Thanks grandma for the great find!!!


Yesterday, we went up to Cabela's and purchased a Dutch Oven...the thing you cook in not when you push your significant other under the covers when you crack one off...just kidding. We were itching to use it so we decided to make a peach and cherry cobbler. It didn't turn out as well as I would have thought, but it wasn't too bad. Almost a little to rich for my taste. Ryan and I had fun putting the coals on it and getting it all situated. I have a feeling that cooking in the Dutch Oven on the back porch will become a new family tradition. Cooking like you are camping, but without camping. Totally sweet...taking me back to my scoutmaster days.




Here are a few random pictures that I like.
