My Little Gus

Here's a photo I took of Gus this weekend. I love him. He's such a cute baby.

New Mounts...

It's that time of year again...the fall deer mounts are completed and up on the wall.....2 are new...but one is Tim's so my living room walls will only be home to 3 of these bucks. They won't be this close together normally. One of them is super naughty and sneaks up on the couch just like Gus.

Winter Weekend

This weekend we were hit hard with another snow storm. We really really thought we were on our way to Spring when we recieved 8" of snow from Friday night-Saturday night. We woke up Saturday morning just CRABBY because of the snow. We are so sick of it, and were really looking foward to a weekend of yardwork and planting. Maybe next weekend. Sean and his friend Dean went canoeing down the river and Gus decided he wasn't going to listen to me calling him home and instead followed the boys down the river. They hauled him into the canoe and it wasn't too long until Gus jumped around too much and tipped the canoe. Luckily for the guys, the river is only ankle to waist deep the whole way. After Gus dumped them in, they decided because of his bad behavior, he would have to swim the rest of the way...needless to say, he slept well when he got home. Sean and I went bowling last night too. I love bowling and showed off my PineRiver Leauge skills by beating him 2 of the 3 games. I even got a TURKEY! The last game Sean beat me when he bowled 4 strikes in a row. It was a fun date :) Today it was 60 degrees and sunny and Sean was in a archery tournament in Walker. He said he had a great time and can't wait for the next one. I photographed a senior in Pequot Lakes, and was really pleased with the outcome, despite (or maybe becasue of) the fast melting snow.

Have a great week everyone!

Maybe Spring will really arrive this week!

Our Driveway....8" of snow of April 26, 2008

Maggie LOVES the snow!

Robbin Hood

The other morning, before Sean started work, he was outside shooting his bow. He ran inside and said, "Goosey! Get your camera!" I couldn't imagine what was so important that I needed to start shooting at 7:30 am! I ran outside to see what he had done, and it turns out, he shot his 2nd "Robbin Hood". A robbin hood is when the arrow you're shooting hits the arrow already in the target and splits it down the middle!

Global Warming?

April 6, 2008

Funny how Al Gore isn't ranting and raving about Global Warming when the upper midwest is hammered with a snow storm in early April! I think it would be safe to say that Pine River received 24" of snow in the past 10 days... On April 5th I photographed my first wedding of 2008 shooting most of the photos outside on a lovely 55 degree day, and then 18 hours later, bam! 12" of snow! It's beautiful, especially since the river is open now, and the snow looks so fresh and picturesque! Needless to say, we are ready for spring, ready for our road to dry up, and ready to turn off the base board heater!

Shhhh!! Don't tell my dad!

On March 31st I turned 2 years old! I heard my parent's talking the other night about how they are going to get through the "Terrible Two's"... I don't want to be naughty..I just can't help it! Remote Controls are my favorite thing to eat! Sometimes at night, when my parents are sleeping, I hop up on the couch and catch my Zzzzzzz's. My mom knows I do it but my dad is snoring and doesn't hear me! hee hee hee! During the day when my mom's inside with me and my sister Maggie, she pretends she doesn't see me on the couch! She just keep's telling me I'm so cute! Happy Birthday to Me!

April Yardwork!

I couldn't believe my eyes on Wednesday when I looked out my office window and saw a blizzard of snowflakes the size of quarters! It only last a few hours and gave us a slushy coating, but it was a set back in the "drying-out" that has been taking place on our property. Last weekend, Sean fixed our lawn mower, and even bought a brand new seat. We were so excited about our new wheels that we rode it around the yard!
