Jackie Gets a Wig!

Most of you know that Jackie has breast cancer. She started to lose her hair due to the treatments and decided to get rid of it all. She sent me these pictures.

Bottling the Beer!

On Feb. 13th we bottled the beer we had made two weeks earlier. If you have never done it - you should try it - it was a blast. We plan on doing it again soon. If you stop out here - you can try it out. We ended up with 6 cases.

We all took turns washing the bottles, filling the bottles, capping them and putting on the labels.

The finished product:

Bee's Honey Porter

Mother's Milk - An Amber Ale

Burnt Island Bitter Brew- A Bitter Ale


Louie, Lisa, Judy, Cynthia, Michael, Gianna & Jon

Debbie's 60th Birthday!

Debbie Sundblad celebrated her 60th birthday on Feb. 7th and received these flowers from her siblings.
Thanks go to Lori for sending them.

Even Will Brookins was cheering for the Pats!

Carrie sent me this picture of Will wearing the #12 jersey for the Superbowl game.
For all of you non-Pats fans - that would be Tom Brady's.

Brenden at Superbowl 2012

Brenden sent me these photos of his trip to Indianapolis to partake in the Superbowl festivities. Brenden drove to Minneapolis and picked up friends and then drove to Chicago. In Chicago they rented a limo and had it take them to Indianapolis to party during the game and then taken them back later that night. Judy was jealous that she wasn't going. However she would have been arrested for her behavior after the Pats lost.

Brenden and his college roommate, Joel Heine.

Fishing at Lake of the Woods

Brenden sent me these pictures of his fishing trip with his Uncle Mike, and cousins David and Derek Olson. They went the weekend of Jan. 7th, 2012.
Brenden had the shortest drive!

Superbowl 46!

Kyle is in Indianapolis for the Superbowl festivities. His frat won VIP tickets to the Payton Manning and Katy Perry Party and Fray Concert. His brother Brenden (and 7 friends) are joining him on Sunday there. Go Pats! He sent us these photos.

Brewing Beer!

Judy gave me for Christmas a gift certificate to brew beer.

We met some friends on Jan. 31 and brew three batches. I made a Honey Porter.

We will be getting back together in two weeks to bottle it. If you come and visit us - you can try it!

This is the label I designed for the bottles.

Parker in Indoor Track

Parker running at his high school in Indoor Track on Jan. 25, 2012. It was the Dual County JV Meet. He took first in his event.

Janet Koglin and Mary Farley's Families

My cousin Mary (Ryan) Farley sent me this photo. It was taken at Easter time in 2011. And I believe it is of all her and her sister Janet's kids. Maybe she will send me the names. Janet is on the far left and Mary is on the far right.

Parker's 5th Grade Graduation

I cam across an old film camera of mine and noticed that I had taken some photos with it. I had no clue how long ago, so I rewound it and had the roll processed. Well they were from 2007 and Parker's 5th Grade Graduation. Here he is with two of his friends, Kevin Dober and Tucker Marr.

Wedding Reception at Zorbaz's on Little Pine Lake!

I came across this photo and don't think that I have posted it before.
