Wow.....am I behind!

Well if I don't post today I will have totally missed the month of May! The beginning of the month was the usual stuff except for Cody's Piano Recital! That was awesome and Cody did great! The end of the month, we finished up with a bang. My brother came into town for a visit and an auction. My dad flew in last Wednesday and the fun began.
As always, click on the picture for the full size version.

Then it was fishin time! The weather was off and on but we dodged rain showers for a couple of days and had a great time.

 

 

 Lorelei with NICE one!

 

Adam was able to break away for an afternoon and met us over at the lake.

Lots of eating and visiting went on. We went out to the Blue Goat one night for dinner.

 

 

 

 We finished up the week at the Evergreen Air Museum, one of our favorite spots.

Another great time spent with family!

Busy.....busy....

Last weekend Lorelei and I started on building a deck outside the sliding glass door to the bedroom. We dug for footings and got all of the posts and joists in place.

Here is the "before"

 Lorelei measuring for the joists.

 

After a weekend working on the deck I decided to play hooky from work and Lorelei and I went fishing. We recently joined a fishing club where we have access to small private lakes and riverfront property. 

 We had a fun day!

Yesterday it was back to work on the deck. Adam and Pam showed up to help! We had fun working together.Everyone was a great help. Pam is quite the carpenter! We all pitched in and "got her done".

That's about all for now.

Spring Break 2013

This year getting everybody together was a challenge! Jon's Spring Break was last week and Cody's was this week. With Adam working lots of hours it was tough getting us all in one place but we managed to do some fun stuff. Corina was off with her family to California so we didn't get to see her.

Last Friday the boys wanted to go bowling, so Pam and Lorelei went shopping while we took to the lanes. The boys went easy on their old dad (yeah right). Adam got a win but the rest of the day belonged to the old guy!

We got in some fishing over at the pond. I think we made two or three trips over there and Lorelei caught the biggest fish each time.

Jon with a nice one!

 Yeah I know, hers is bigger.

Pam, Cody, Adam, Jon and Queenie

The kids played video games, did some music and some badminton. Of course we also had a rousing game of pinochle!

We finished up the week with a trip over to the coast. We had beautiful weather and uncrowded beaches!

That's about all for now!

Spring bass 2013!

Lots of chores around the place that need to get done, but we took yesterday afternoon to head over to the pond. Cody went along and hung out on shore while Lorelei and I loaded gear in the little boat that stays tied up to the shore. The skies were blue and filled with migrating geese that dropped "bombs" all around us for the afternoon. Luckily there were no direct hits but there were some close calls. There were ducks and red winged blackbirds that kept us entertained as well as some turtles......and oh yeah....there were a few bass too!

Turtles enjoying the sunshine.

Okay, so who caught the biggest fish?

Another beautiful sunset. Lorelei took this one on the way home.
