Future site of our new house

We purchased this lot in October 2010 and have since started building a house on it. The estimated finish date is September 1, 2011. We are excited to once again have a home to make our own. :)

Rowan's first ice fishing trip - December 2010

"I'm ready to go, Dad!!" Rowan got to go ice fishing with his Daddy and our friend, Darin and his son, Carter. They had lots of fun...but were ready to get out of the cold by the end. What a trooper!

Rowan training for a winter Alaska trip...

Crazy kid....I think it was 8 degrees and windy outside this day and he had to go out and play.

Cabela turns 8!

Our sweet Cabela girl turned 8 years old on December 13, 2010. I am laughing as I notice the location of these two pictures...one is on the couch (enough said) and the other is right below the girls' seats at the dining table (go figure!). I guess when you are 8 (in a dog's world), that is what life is all about!

Christmas 2010

We spent Christmas 2010 in Rapid City. It was a very quiet but blessed Christmas. The kids had a blast as you can see. We found it so fun to watch them open gifts...they are quite a fun age for all of this!

Baking Christmas Cookies - December 2010

One of Rowan's favorite (of many) Christmas traditions...

Quite the helper!

He must have asked if it was "time to do the sprinkles" about 100 times! :)

Reaping the rewards!

Tatum and Parker's first visit to Santa Claus - December 2010

....and you see how it went. That's Parker on the left. Tatum is just following suit.

You may notice there is no picture at all with Santa Claus and Rowan. He would not even go see him this year. He may have looked just like the girls here.
