So... It Has Been...
Three months since I blogged. Jessi has graduated from eighth grade and is a freshmen in high school now. Sean is now 8 years old and changing schools as well. We have been pretty busy around these parts as school, work and summer vacation all run together around here. We ended up killing four turkeys this year which was one off our pace of five last year. Still was a kick ass season though and I enjoyed hunting with the boys! Got a BBQ we are attending on Saturday at a friend's house and am looking forward to that. Got my 41st birthday coming up in less than a month. Been working out like a mad man lately and definitely like that! Well, I am off to clean the den and do something productive. Later

Birthday Party

Happy Birthday Colleen and Nicole!
We had Colleen and Nicole's birthday party last night and we had a TON of food and and drinks and awesome company. Thought I would throw up some game camera pics of the party and a couple of deer that showed up uninvited. Jerry and Julie didn't make it because Jerry was sick. Josh Henderson did make it though and I hadn't seen Josh in awhile! Turkey season starts in May and Brhaun and I have the first week off to hunt. Looking forward to that and hoping this is the year I break my jinx and finally get a moose permit! Well, we are off to Cabela's for a guy trip. TTYL

New Year, Cruise Getting Close

OK- So I See Everyone Else...
Is blogging again so I figure I might jump back in as well. Been busy and working too much as usual and can't wait until our cruise! I am looking forward to spending time with my wife and kids and not having to worry about work for a week. I think it will be a lot of fun eating and drinking and swimming and going to the beach and gambling. Deer season was a dud and Favre led the Vikings to the NFC championship game, where we lost like we always do. I also can't wait until turkey hunting. I took the first week of the season off to hunt and the state has changed the rules to two toms per hunter which is just about awesome! Well, I don't really have much more to say but I will try not to go 4 months before my next post. Thinking I really want to get my tattoo when we get back from the cruise. Later

Blog Slacky Slacky

So, I Have Been a Bit of a...
Blog slacker lately! Yesterday was opeing day of deer season and Halloween so I posted some pics of Sean in his hunting costume to celebrate the activities! I can't wait until that boy can go hunting with me for real! Hunting was far from a success. Didn't see a single deer and Halloween seemed to yield much more in the way of food then my hunting expeditions. Got some people coming over to watch football today and watch the big Vikings-Packers game at 415. Looking forward to that game even though I can't get a read on that game at all. I could see a blow out either way or a really close game. Vikings are doing really well this year though- they are 6-1 with their only loss being to the defending champs in their houose. If the Vikings can win today going into their bye, things look pretty good for the Vikings defending their NFC North title. Well, I will try to post a blog each day chronicling my deer season. I have the second week off to hunt so hopefully we can over the funk I have been in and get a deer. Later

Game Camera Pics

Went to Dur's 40th Birthday Party...
And had a really good time and saw some people haven't seen in quite awhile! Looking forward to my draft this afternoon and getting ready for football season. Got some chores to do this morning and then probably shoudl think about food and stuff for the get together. Well, that is it for now.

Bounce House

My Wife Is Slacking So...
I figured I would post some pics of Jessi's end of the summer party! Everyone seemed to enjoy the bounce house and have fun! I got to meet Richard who my wife talks about very often and the company and food were top notch as always. We really aren't a go out to ground Round kind of crowd as we have well discussed so being silly at my house might be the way to go. I ordered my Favre jersey and it should be here before opening day. I am a little bit disappointed that our big guys camp trip had to be canceled but I got to have today off because I don't have to use my vacation days for camp. Didn't accomplish a whole lot today and have my fantasy draft tomorrow which I am looking forward to! Jessi seems happy with her school schedule and I am glad about that because she was highly worried about the whole fiasco! Got to love teenage girls! Couldn't figure them out when I was a teenage boy and don't think I am any closer now that I am 40! LOL

Blog Slacker

OK- I Have to Admit...
I have been a big time blog slacker! It has been a pretty busy last two plus weeks with camp, Friday trips, Cabela's outings and food plots! Summer is still going strong but I can't help looking forward to two of my favorite things- football and hunting! I thought I would post some pics of the dismal deer season last year in hopes of helping to push myself to make sure this year is nothing like it! I am full speed this deer season- from bow hunting to rifle to muzzleloader and I might be exhausted come December but it will be worth it. So, Favre decided to call it quits. OK- he would have made my team better but he also would have been a band-aid for our horrible QB situation and next year, we would have been right back where we started before Favre. I still think the Vikes will have a good year and thanks to my wife, I can watch every game right here in my living room. Camp was great as always and I had one of the best times this year! Well, off to check Facebook and go to bed! Night
