May 1st weather, 11 inches???

Pelican lake, April 30. Very frozen.

Happy 17th birthday Nathan!

We tried...

Nate wanted to wakeboard for his birthday...

Gorgeous day in MN finally!

Chad and Nate got he boat, cleaned it up and we had happyhour and a nap...👍😎

College day at school today

Nate was super excited to wear his new pants!

Sick of the snow but it is pretty in the sun!

April 23.....

ARG, What to do?

Car shopping on Saturday.....    Chad's commuter car list is down to three:

Chevy Volt - They are giving these things away - savings in gas money makes this a "free" car.

Audi A5 Convertible - OMG - fun.   A bit on the small side.   Tight squeeze if ever need to take two kids and two dogs anywhere.

Acura TL - Loaded.   Pretty good gas milage.  Lots of room.   Hard to say no to this one.

RICORI HS Prom - Snapshots

Bev and I decided we couldn't stand to not see Nathan and Keisha's first prom, so we drove to Cold Spring to see the grand march, and had dinner with the Howard's.    Very glad we did, it was very fun.   The kids looked great, and had a great time.    We got home about 1:00 after a late, great dinner, but it was worth it!

Nathan's first prom at RICORI HS with Kishia

Nathan doesn't know it yet but we are going to surprise him at the grand march!

April 19, 2013

I bet we have close to a foot-and it is a heavy snow too! Got to be one of our biggest storms of the year. Kids got a 2 hr late start-and we found out at 10:45 last night so alarms were reset-and they slept in.

Weird....

I heard a noise outside so I opened the door and it was the tornado siren, today is spring test the sirens day!

Julia was bored in school I think

Seriously...

You think you need a walk now??

Really? Again? Yes this is April18!!!

Really miserable spring.....

View from our backyard.

Nathan is filing his first tax return today!

Good news! He will get $103 back from Federal, and $49 back from State!

The father son experiences never end...

Sure wish I knew how to fill out a tax form to get money back like that..... I will be sending my check in at midnight tomorrow. :(
