Not that I'm complaining ...

but how are we supposed to earn our badge of honor when it hasn't even gotten to -20! I have not doubt before the end of winter - we'll earn the badge. But for now, a good portion of the lower 48 is getting our cold weather! (Picture attached just for a reminder.)

Welcome to the blog.

Thanks to my sister in law I have started a blog for Brent and I. So far all of the plans are coming together - we finally picked out our invitations. As you can tell from the poll - the cake is the next to get picked out. Please vote on the poll and feel free to let me know of your favorite baker in town for wedding cakes. I hope that all of you had a great Thanksgiving.

Ice Fishing (our new Thanksgiving tradition)

On Saturday after we recovered from our turkey meal, Brent reserved an ice-shack at Chena Lakes for us to use. My brother, sister-in-law and nephew joined in the fun! As you can see by the attached photo, we had a great time. Brent lead the number of fish caught (he knew all the secrets and was not letting anyone know!!!) But after we beat the secrets out of him - we all caught some fish. Actually, Seth (my nephew) was the first one to catch a fish but he didn't believe us when we mentioned he had to bite the head off for catching the first one. Instead he settled on eating a doughnut hole for each one he caught! If you haven't gone ice-fishing before - it is a blast. Please let us know and we'll be glad to take you out and we'll get more secrets out of Brent.
