Fish on... :)

sorry they're sideways---don't know how to change???



This last weekend for labor day we took a trip to go see Granny Jeanne and Grampy Fred - Saturday morning at 4am we left to go catch the elusive pink fish that haunts my dreams (salmon). Granny was so nice to sleep in and watch after Adalie while we fished the Coos Bay. After fixing a dead battery on the boat we were on the water by 6am....so grateful for Fred's never give up attitude and also great love for fishing! 10 minutes later I had a 15# salmon on the line. Rick's uncle John netted it...30 minutes later I had another smaller Jack salmon on the line...John netted it again and then 30 minutes after that I had a beast of a hen hooked and in the boat. Did I mention all the hoots and screams coming out of my mouth...by the end I thought Rick, Fred or John was going to cut my line... all in all one of the best fishing trips I've ever been on!

Ear infections....YUCK!

Dancin' cutie pie.



It's going to be hard to say no to this face.




The fam...

Little Miss Adie - has her first ear infection, poor thing has not had a good sleep in 24 hours. She is also not interested in eating at all ...I can't wait for her to feel better. Other than the ear infection, this weekend was great. Granny G and Grampy Fred stopped by on their way to John Day. They were able to spend the night both Friday and Saturday. We all went to the Lake on Saturday and then rode our bikes to Thousand Trails for dinner. It was very nice to have them here and not travel anywhere. We have been weekend warriors for the last month...visiting Rick in Salem, then Portland, then back to Salem then to Eugene....It was nice not to drive anywhere. Enjoy the pics :)

time to update the photos

The Grandparents

Alright, we have a picture of Grandma and Grandpa Handschuch! This photo is great, can't you just hear the giggles :)

Addie is finally tall enough to use her bouncy seat, I think she loves it. She is so funny and girlie. She sat in the little chair and just giggled and shrieked...





We (Rick and I) took Addie to Cultus Lake this morning for a nice breakfast and a little hike.**ummm, is Addie trying to tell the camera something***






more camera time...lol

Happy Baby Girl

a 5am smile...how cute!


It is Adalie's third week at daycare. We love the facility which makes it a little easier to drop her off. Our day's Monday - Friday are pretty routine. We wake up at 5am (or 4 depending on when she is ready to get up). We get dressed and are out the door by 6am. Dad (Rick) is great, he usually has the coffee ready for me and the bags I'll need for the day packed in the car. Adalie usually falls asleep during our 1/2 hour drive in. By the time I get to High Desert Learning they are just opening up for the day. Cindy is great and is always in a good mood. Adalie and I hang out for about 40 minutes before I have to head to work. At lunch it's a race across town to see her for lunch...I can get there in 8 minutes if all the lights are green and I don't get pulled over for speeding (knock on wood the ladder hasn't happened yet). Then for Adalie it's either off to Grandma's house at 2:30 or a little wait for Dad or I to get there around 4:45. She is still sleeping really well and just seems to be a happy baby. :)

Happy Birthday Great Aunt Patty!!!

Hope your day yesterday was awesome!!!!
