Cuddled up

Daisy (22 months), Lilly (15 months) and Mel (11 yrs.) were all cuddled up and enjoying a lazy, windy Sunday afternoon.



Lilly finally isn't afraid of grandpa anymore!!

On Sunday March 22nd the 5 of us took Daisy, Lilly and Jackson ice fishing. Melvin stayed home and kept the couch warm for their return. Daisy and Lilly we anxious to sniff around the shore and excited to get on the ice. Although it was melting close to shore, they made into hard ice with their short little legs.

Where did Mommy go??

I went shopping and left Daisy and Lilly at home with my boys. They watched me drive away!!

The boys, all 4 of them are hard at it catching crapies for a fish fry!

I love being a dog, it's a great excuse for acting so crazy!

Nathan took this adorable pic of the girls napping before supper.
