Hunting 2012

 This is opening weekend 2012.  Dennis came out from Virgina and hunted with us.  We gave him quite a workout (all got one, actually).  Nick was up with his dogs, Maddie and Ellie, that's Maddie in the photos.

A couple of Christmas Photos

We had a good Christmas at Mom and Dads, the weather was certainly better this year. Spent quite a bit of time outside and had lots of good food.

Opening day 2011

This is from opening day of pheasant hunting season. We didn't run into a lot of birds, but got most of our limit and it was a nice day. Nick and Kristen were up from Omaha with their dogs, Maddie and Ellie.

More Howard Boys

Here's another photo from the same batch as before. This is Fat, Cile, Chet, Junior, Jay, Carl Sr, and Danny and Butch Case. This is in front of the old North Place. I don't know who's car it is.

Family on the 4th

Easter weekend.

We got two nice days in a row for Easter weekend! Jason and Amanda spent part of it getting the winter coats off their horses.

Molly is the only one happy about all the water around. It isn't as bad as last year though, and we got rid of quite a bit of it over the weekend.

Christmas Eve

We had a good Christmas weekend at Mom and Dad's. Nick made it back from Omaha and Jason and Amanda were around all weekend. Above is Nick with a video camera that he got. Below is a grandma sweatshirt that Mom got.

Molly really wanted a closer look at the fur lined hat that Nick got Dad. She kept a close eye on it. Jason and Amanda having a good time unwrapping gifts below.

A little weekend hunting.

It was nice enough today to get a little Thanksgiving hunting in. Above is Dad, Kristin and Nick with a couple of the five birds we got. And it started to clear off and give us a pretty nice sunset as well.

Thanksgiving day

We had a good Thanksgiving Day here. Above is Nick and his girlfriend Kristin. Below is Jason and Amanda.

There was plenty of food and games of course. Amanda trys to bowl on the Wii while being distracted by Jason and Molly. Below, Mom works on Turkey soup with the leftovers.

Pheasant season opener

It was a good opening weekend for pheasant hunting this year. Nick made it back for a few days and we all went out to Wik's for the opening weekend.

This is the whole group. We got our limit both days. It was good weather and good times for all.

Mom and Dad and more.

Catching up this weekend with a few photos. Above is Dad and Mom on Sept. 3rd - their 50th Anniversary. We had a supper get together at Mavericks for them.
Below is Mom making kuchen. It was a nice cool weekend on Labor Day, so we got lots of tomato sauce, salsa and kuchen made.

This is at Aunt Joyce's in Denver. Mom and Dad came out to the buffalo roundup and then picked me up and we drove on to Joyce's in Denver. We had a good time and good food and good weather.

Christmas eve at Mom and Dad's.

This is all from Christmas eve and day and Mom and Dad's.  We did make it out to the 7pm church service fine last night  but we are pretty much snowed in today.  I'll try and take a few photos of the snow later.

The Wii is keeping everyone busy today.  Above, dad tries out the Wii fit.  Below,Dad and Nick are pheasant and duck hunting.

A visit on Mom's birthday.

Frank and Lenora made it back to South Dakota this week for a visit. I was lucky enough to catch them for the couple of hours I was there while passing through for work.
They caught up with us a dinner at the Flame, where we went out for Mom's 70th birthday.
