Ice Hikes...

I've been spending a lot of time on the lake.

Its been a warm winter in Minnesota.

That, combined with the lack of snow, means that this weather has been perfect for ice hiking.

Which means taking in sights like these.

It has even been warm enough to bring the dogs.

Usually Bulldogs and ice don't mix...

but Petey and Marley love going out with me!

It's a good thing that I take them with too,

because they protect me from crazy snowmobilers...

Oh, its just Blaise. :)

Wrestling is life...

well, it is in our house, anyway.

All day...

everyday...

we wrestle.

(or talk about it, think about it, and watch YouTube videos about it)

These boys watch wrestling, before wrestling, at wrestling tournaments.

See what I mean?

Committed.

This weekend was the Litchfield Open Tournament.

We spent ALL week preparing for it.

Mostly making these:

Cheeseburger Cookies!

You don't even want to know how many hours I spent assembling and wrapping these...

WAY too much work,

but

it did put a smile on quite a few faces. :)

Speaking of smiling faces.

I'm pretty sure he loves wrestling more then anything.

There really is nothing better then the pride you feel watching your child

having so much fun doing something he really loves.

B was still in wrestling mode for this pic!

(he's pretty much always in wrestling mode)
