Brownie is growing

I just wanted to show everyone some recent pictures I took of Brownie. He is really getting big, I didn't realize it until I was looking at some new pictures the other day. He is such a cute buy, but so so hyper. I can't walk him if I have the girls with me cause he just wants to play. We are really enjoying him

A FROZEN DAY AT THE LAKE




The fpicture to the left is Kaylie and Seth being pulled on the sled behind the four wheelers on the ice. The right is the frozen spill way.
Here are some ice fishing huts on the frozen lake.






Here is brownie running to keep up with the kids on the sled.









Up top is Zane, Sophie and Kaylie on the sled.




This was brownie just after he bailed off the four wheeler











Up top is Brwonie riding with Brett.














Here is me and the girls at the lake yesterday. We went with our friends the Wendt's to celebrate Dave's birthday. When the sun was out it was very warm and felt great, but as soon as the sun went down it got cold fast.
It was very hard to ride out on the frozen lake, at first. I am not use to the frozen water, In medford there was never frozen water. After Keri told me that we didn't need to worry till April then I got out there and we had so much fun.

My New toy and Brett's new toy







Since I can't drive my little car around here. I have been driving Brett's and he doesn't like that so he got me a new truck, which I love. And since I will be driving at night for school he got me a nice deer killer.



Brett got himself an acoustic electric guitar. He has been wanting one for years. He is turning 30 in March and I was going to get him one but he came home with one the other day. So now I have to think of something else to get him. Hmmm, shouldn't be to hard.

update

Well I thought it about time to update. This week I got all registered for school. Nutrition and maybe math. I only have to go over to Helena one day a week this semester. Then next fall it looks like I might have to get an apartment or something. I will be going over almost everyday. So we will see. But it is so nice to get back in the seeing of things and see an ending date in the future. I will apply to the LPN program that starts next January and hopefully will get in the first time I apply. There are also three nursing programs close so I think that might make it a little easier to get in. I have a great friend who has graciously agreed to help take care of the girls on the days that she will be home.
The snow is finally starting to melt and we have had one day of temperatures in the high 30's. That is a temperature difference of 60 degrees from a month ago. I am loving it. But it is making such a sloppy, slushy, slick mess everywhere in town. I can't drive my car at all and have been driving Brett's which has all wheel drive.
We have also decided to rent out our house in Oregon. We haven't been able to sell it and had a big fast last Sunday. We then felt like we should rent it, so that is our goal for next week. To sign with a property management company and get someone in the house. With that extra money we can then save up to buy one here. It was hard to decide to rent it. We thought about it many times, but we had put so much work into our house that we weren't to keen on renting. But with the way things seem to be going in the housing market this might just be the thing to do. We didn't always want to have a rental or to for investment purposes. So pray that we get a good renter. Anywho, hope everyone is doing well.
