Cast & Blast 2009

It sure has been a busy October! Wade, his buddy Jeff, and the kids came to stay with us on the 14th for what the boys like to call "Cast & Blast"--all the pheasant hunting and fishing they can cram in to a weekend.

Mya was a trooper and hunted with the boys all day Thursday, so Friday we decided to have a girl's day and went to lunch and did a little shopping. That evening we all went out to what I thought was going to be dinner but turned out to be a surprise birthday party for me. What can I say, my husband and friends are lying little sneaks and I love them all dearly!


My sweet cake--it caught on fire!

Friday night Caleb joined the party and came to spend the night so he could hunt with the boys Saturday. 41 birds in 3 days--I think "Cast & Blast 2009" was a success! Oh yes, and I almost forgot--Lee even shot an albino pheasant! It was pretty cool even though I personally think they are a bit creepy looking!

Our Other Nephew and Nieces!

Here is a picture of our nieces and nephew--they are Lee's sister's kids. They all live by Fargo so we don't get back to see them nearly as often as we'd like. Boy they sure are getting big! They are expecting a new brother or sister the end of January.

Schlichting Family Weekend!

This weekend the Schlichting side of the family got together to celebrate Grandma Ruby & Grandpa Jim's 50th Wedding Anniversary! We stayed at a hotel in Bismarck and spent the weekend visiting, swimming, eating, and laughing. I'm not sure who was more exhausted when it was all over, the kids or the parents! All in all it was a great weekend--I think we need to make this a yearly tradition!
