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, Hunter, Jeff, Lee, & Wade


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!

They Grow So Fast!

Here are a few more pictures of Mr. Kyler that I thought I'd share with you. He's growing so fast and his personality is starting to come out more and more. It won't be long and he'll surely be in to everything!

He looks SO much like his daddy when he smiles out of the corner of his mouth!

Tummy time!

My very favorite picture--blowing kisses!

Baby Bump!

For those of you who live far away and have been bugging me for "Baby Bump" pictures, I've only taken two. So far there isn't exactly much to see, but here they are anyway..


The 6th month bump..

..and the 7 month bump!

Blogging Slacker!

Sorry for the lack of blogging! Summer has just flown right on by and even though we've been busy, I really haven't had any pictures to post. Here are some updates on what has been going on:

*Zac Todd left for college in Wahpeton!

*Lee turned 30 on September 3rd so we spent the entire weekend camping at Devil's Lake! We got in lots of fishing, relaxing, and plenty of peace and quiet!

*Cayli started volleyball and had her first game! Hard to believe she's already in Jr. High!

*Had several doctor's appointments--Baby is measuring a few weeks ahead! Jan tells me we have a "fluffy baby". The countdown is on--only two more months to go (or less)!

*Oh yes, and of course--FOOTBALL SEASON STARTED!


This past weekend Lucas and Ellie came down to visit so we were able to get in some quality Kyler time. Boy is he sure growing! Here are some of the pictures.

Baby Pool!

Let the games begin! Since we chose not to find out the sex of our baby we decided to create a baby pool. Feel free to stop by and enter your guess.. click on the link and enter the game name "babykugler". We'd love to see what you all think!
