Ice Fishing in South Dakota

Jake and I thought we would see what ice fishing is all about. So we set it up with some friends and went on an adventure. This is Scatterwood lake, it has 3 feet of ice. I drove the truck out on the lake. The ice made some popping and cracking noises but we didn't fall through.

 It was cold outside, but warm and cozy in the ice shack.

We caught nothing, but still went home with a smile.

Valentine's Day Fun!

A Ninja Birthday!

My Jacob went from a little boy to a little man this year. He is so grown up.

What a handsome boy he is! Here are some pictures of the ninjas doing party activities:

Here they are around the table.

And here they are gathered in the living room

And here they are fighting and training in the dojo.

We soon broke out the super speedy camera and got some better pictures.

In the dojo the ninjas listened carefully to their Sensei and went an intense course of ninja training.

 Breaking boards!

After training was complete the one true ninja got to open his presents.

A little about Jacob at age 5. His favorite things in the world are Ninjas and Legos! So Ninjago is probably the coolest thing ever. Jacob is a special little boy. He loves to help his momma and is my dearest friend. He often turns into my "yes man" and does everything I ask him to. When he goes to kindergarten next year I will be so so so sad. I love my Jacob.

Ice Skating!

 Katie was so sad that she didn't get ice skates. That soon turned to devastation when we wouldn't let her on the ice.

 Jacob smiled the entire time, even though he fell down more times than I could count.

 Greg liked to slide around the corner and land next to Jacob. He got in trouble by one of his students at the university for being too dangerous on the ice.

 Clara fell a lot too but by the end of the night she was going around the ice without a single fall!

 Pig Nose :)

 Just for fun. A favorite picture of mine.

A Little of This...A Little of That

Family Sleepover :)

 Getting ready to have a Tea Party with Grandma Hunny over Skype!

 Sabrina leading the music for FHE!

 We finally got our table and chairs refinished.

 Just a little of my Katie Kate Kate.
