Tyler's 10th birthday with family

Tyler's big fish

Tyler and Pete went out with the neighbors and they caught this 7 lb. 27 inch Walleye. Pete set the hook for Tyler, but Tyler reeled it in. He is so proud!
It is getting mounted so Tyler can hang it next to his dads.
Tyler just isn't that keen on holding it by himself yet.

Melanie got her braces!

Right after getting them on and heading back to school. What a big girl!

Dying Easter eggs

Bandit had to get in on the action.Here is has a hard boiled egg in his mouth. We peeled it and it took him awhile to eat it.He didn't like the white part as much.

The kids decorating their eggs. funny they don't like eating them, but they like decorating them. pete and I eat egg salad sandwiches for a week!

Carolyn's b-day party

Carolyn had her birthday party at the petit ice center in Milwaukee.It was mascot race day there and the kids like the moose from the Wilderness.
Pete's and my first time ice skating. He did much better than me. he went around the track many times, I only went around half way and had enough.
They were racing each other. Jacob also had a hockey game that day so he joined them later and of course blew them away skating.
