Brooke goes fishing

Just wanted to share this with you.
Brooke wanted to show off her sweet fishing skills.

grilled pizza!

Our friend Kyle came to visit for a week. As a bon voyage to Kyle,
the boys wanted to eat some gooooooood food. Answer: grilled pizza.
Aaron and Kyle made the dough (we waited a full 3 hours for it to rise)

Here's my handsome grill-master.

The A/C unit was a great stage for mixing ingredients.

All done and so so delicious! See how excited we are to eat it!?

Let me know if you'd like the recipe. We highly recommend it.

Welcome to a glimpse into 2 mini-vacations we took in May.
Up first: our trip to Leech Lake with our friends, the Conways.
Aaron had to survey his fishing stuff before we left.

This is all of our stuff stopping at the Conways' house.

The rods were banging together so Dr. House helped out.

Our first trip out, I caught the biggest fish I've ever netted.

My husband, the navigator (yes, it was a HUGE lake)

awesome Leech Lake

our Thursday night bonfire

I'm prepared to be cold. That's my winter jacket.

Aaron caught this one.

I fished in the rain...

...while the boys caught BIG fish in the rain.

this is our sweet little cabin on the lake.

Priscilla getting ready to count the bats.... which totaled over 75

I caught weeds too.

And this is me excited to be at the lake Memorial Day weekend.

Aaron's pre-opener bass... sad but awesome.

my awesome grandparents!

evening Mario Kart for Aaron and Jayce

This is one crazy little girl. I'm not sure exactly what's
happening but Bonnie was playing with her sunscreened-hair.

These 2 just sat down on my feet and looked up like "get going"
Bonnie was able to snap the picture right as they looked up at me.

Thanks for stopping. More to come on medical things.
The summer proves to be a medically delicious few months.

planting things

Aaron really wanted to plant a garden, mostly made up of
herbs and spices - cilantro, basil, etc... so we planted!

Aaron did most of the work. I helped.

I can fake "helping" by posing for a picture with the plant I chose.
Casa de Murray gets a little brighter :)

a cute girl

I often ask my sister for pictures of my niece.

She's pretty cute. I asked her last night, though her phone is weird.
I got her message early this morning so I woke up to this...
I woke up grumpy and ended up not having a great day but
at least I got to look at her adorable face to cheer me up.
