Frustrating....

This post is accidental and out of pure frustration! Remember several weeks back I wanted to smash this bleepin computer? Well, I took it back and she did a clean-up on it (although why should a new computer require clean-up? It's new for cripes sake) Nobody remodels or repairs a new house a week after being built!  But anyway, since then, I haven't been able view music videos (or any video) on youtube, which I got by without, until this morning when I'd like to load pics onto snapfish & craigslist and realized I couldn't do that either.  So I thought I'd see if blogger would upload pics.  Well, of course the one thing that is not on my 'to do list' today, works! Oh joy.... :( In all my anger, I am at least thankful that today is Monday. Because the computer place that I bought this from is open late on Mondays (they usually close at 5pm & I can't make it)! Hooray for me! Sorry for her!

So here's a few things that make me smile....

(her dimples) :)

 This makes her teeth happy...her little chew toy!

Speaking of her teeth... Braelyn was a bear on Friday.  She wouldn't eat very well, and wouldn't sleep either.  She'd lay down, sleep for 5 mins and wake up screaming in pain.  I decided to take her to express care (which I rarely do), thinking she must have an ear infection that's causing her to scream.  NOPE! The doc said her ears were beautiful and her throat looked fine.  So all he could think was maybe her teeth hurting her.  Who knows?..she was fine from that night on. I even told her to not wake up until after 9am, cause momma was going to sleep in, & she listened! (of course we were up at 5am for a quick 15 min visit)

My boys building a snow fort!

Ok, I'm better now!!! :)

Snowmobiling

I mentioned earlier that Shane was doing a vintage snowmobile race.  He finished 6th out of 50 sleds in his class, and was awarded an "iron man" trophy for ridin out all 100 miles himself. He couldn't walk the next day, but it was fun!  Thanks to DJ, Neil, Bubba, Keith & Greg for all their help on raceday and getting it ready!

To my suprise, the snowmobile held up...my early prediction was it would only make a few laps and was bound to break!

Unfortunately, Bubba's did not hold up..... :( 

 And they're off...(well, waiting for the first group to take off)

Last weekend we took a snowmobiling trip to Tower, MN.  The cabin is out on island of Lake Vermillion, so we had to pull our luggage/food behind a snowmobile to get there.  In the summer they use boat, and to build it they had the materials hauled out by barge.  Kinda neat.  The cabin itself and the view were spectacular!  We had some great riding, and great relaxing! Definitely didn't want to come home (other than to see my kiddos)!  Thanks Butch for the hospitality!!

 Enjoying the fireplace and some drinks!

Pics of the babe....

She is trying her hardest to roll over, but just can't get there.  She tried so hard she fell asleep in this position!

And as big as he is, he's never too big to fall asleep on dad! I put Braelyn to bed last night and came out to them sound asleep!
