Ireland's Birthday

Ireland had her 7th Birthday on Thursday and Mom and Dad made their way up to visit with her. It was great to see them up for a few minutes and the kids really enjoyed their company. Mom seems to be doing much better with her wrist even though it's in a brace and Dad was trying very hard. The kids even commented that he smiled a few times.

We had great news to tell them, that Megan is getting some competition now for near perfect grades. Jake pulled off an all A and 1 A- report card to match Megan's. You know it has been over 16 months now since we turned our TV off and I can say we don't miss it at all. Meg and I will catch The Office on Hulu.com, but that's the only show we see.

Plus, we just found a new boat motor for our fishing boat. The boys are looking forward to the ice coming off Strawberry so we can head out for a day of catching those big rainbows.
