Ava is 1! (almost)


Well, we had Ava's 1st birthday party last night, a few days early. She had a great time and got a TON of gifts. She started walking last week...her record is probably about 10 feet or so, but she's picking it up quick! We are going to take a half day on Wed (her actual birthday) and head to the Dayton's display (yes, i know it's now Macy's...but the display will always be "the Dayton's display) and mabe the Holidazzle if it's nice out. Pretty amazing how quickly the first year went by and how much she's grown. Crazy stuff.

Ice season is among us! I haven't been out yet, but the ice is ready in some parts of most of the metro lakes. I'm hoping to get out sometime soon, but the warm weather this week is sure to soften the top inch or two. After a year off of the IDS ice fishing trip to Mille Lacs, it's back on this year...but to Lake Winnie instead. I've never been on Winnibigoshish, so i'm looking forward too it. We'll probably hammer the jumbo perch first, then search for some eyes. We'll see. EIther way, the Crappie in prior lake are waiting for me, so i want to get out soon and clean a few up for dinner. Tasty.

My 30th Birthday is next weekend. 30's. When I started here at IDS I remember the 30+ guys seeming old. So now I'm one of those 'old' guys....sitting aroudn all day about my job and getting paid too much to do it. HA! Wait! Was I way off about them getting paid too mcuh to do that! But for some reason i'm still here :)

Ok, so back to work. Have a good week. (I'd wish you all a Merry Christmas, but i'm certain i'll blog again before that, right?)

Ava's 1 year pics turned out great. The party was fun too! Plus it was good to see all the family that I am in no way related to!

Justin, where is your blog?? Oh yeah, you are too boring and unoriginal to do one. Why don't you say something creative and funny for a change.

You are both dorks for trying to rank blogs. I'm not even that big of a nerd. And I'm pretty dang nerdy.
