Tiz's Ear Piercing

Yesterday was a day Tiz will probably never forget. She went to the Boat Show in Portland with her dad, met up with Auntie, Uncle Mark and Sissy for an early dinner at Bugaboo Creek, and then....the big event....EAR PIERCING!!! Auntie took her, along with the rest of the troops, to the mall to get them done. Here's a video that Robyn took of the event. Which I'm thankful for because I had to work. :( Afterwards, the poor dear almost passed out. From what I understand, she leaned up against her dad and started to pass out, he picked her up and she was like a rag doll. My poor baby girl!!! :(









After surviving the piercing, which looks wonderful by the way, the headed over to the Civic Center for their first Portland Pirates game. Which they absolutely LOVED. So much so, they've conned my nephew (who works for the Pirates) into getting tickets for this coming weekend so that I can go to it!!! Can't wait!!







So, that's the exciting weekend the gang had. So much so, that when I called from work this morning at 10:30, both girly girls were still sleeping! I made Robbie go wake Tiz, its unheard of for her to sleep past 7:30-8:00!!! I was afraid that if he didn't, she'd be awake still at midnight tonight!!!

The Leprechaun came for a visit Monday night. Elizabeth wanted a trap, so Sissy helped her.

All the convenience of home!!!

Uh-oh, he lost a boot!

The loot!!!!!

Weekend fun

What a gorgeous weekend we had! The weather was gorgeous and we all had the weekend off!! So on Saturday we decided we'd take the girls to the Mall to use their gift certificates they got for Christmas. We went into the Mall and one of the first stores we went into was the Gap. Elizabeth fell in LOVE with a trench coat. Tried it on and decided that was what she wanted. However, we decided to walk around and check out other stores before buying it. So off we went to wander some more. Robyn found a pair of Coach shoes that she's fallen in love with. Decided it was a tad too much and will wait until she has more money. She's actually hoping to get them when they go to the Mall next weekend with her dad (and Aunt) prior to the Pirates game. So off we went to look some more before Elizabeth decided the jacket was exactly what she wanted. We went back and she proudly purchased it.

After we went to Bugaboo Creek for lunch.

After filling our bellies, we decided we'd leave Portland and head to Augusta to the Civic Center to go to the annual camper show. What a disappointment, waste of time, gas and energy!! We paid $7pp to get in, they let the girls in free - thank goodness. We spent maybe 20min there. There were a handful of vendors as well as campers. There was hardly anyone there when we got there around 5:30. We completely understood why on the door there was a sign stating NO REFUNDS NO MATTER WHAT!!! Such a shame, we use to love going and checking out the different campers and campgrounds.

Finally, here's some pictures of Elizabeth in her new jacket that she is absolutely in love with! I have to admit, it is adorable on her!!

Stay tuned for pictures tomorrow...........the girls worked on a trap for the Leprechaun and are hoping to catch him tonight.

The last of ice fishing???

The girls and Robbie went fishing this weekend while I worked. The weather was gorgeous for them. The ice was still over 6" plus thick, but it was slushy on top so they got soaked! Boots are still drying out! They are hoping its not the last time they can be on the ice - but more than likely it is. Anyways - they had fun and finally, after 2 months of fishing in bitter cold for hours at a time - they caught some! Here's a picture of the big catch.

The above picture is Elizabeth scooping the slush out of the hole.

Shocking I know, that Robbie is on the cell phone. I do believe its attached to his ear!! The 4wheeler w/tracks in the background so they could ride while waiting for the flag to pop up.

So now that ice fishing is drawing near the end, its time to dig out the fishing poles for regular fishing. Now, this is something I enjoy doing. Nothing better than sitting on a lake or on a dock, in warm sunny weather, casting!
