What a way to end the year - 3 dads with their college sons hunting and having a great time - I got called to go over and take this picture what they didn't realize it that..........
I took this one as I was leaving - look who gets to do all the cleaning :) too funny - I have to laugh!!!!
This is a picture from Monday at Grandma Pollemas house - just love the picture so wanted to share it with you all!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Marcus surprised Karlie Friday night with Lady Antebellum tickets in Sioux City - it is her birthday January 15 and he took her to this concert for her birthday - he really surprised her - she had no clue and they had a great time there - and had very awesome seats too!!
Saturday evening we went as a family to the restaurant Braccos in Sioux Falls for supper and then to see the lights at Falls Park this picture and the next 2 are from the top of the tower - they were gorgeous and we had a great time
These next two are next to the falls on the east side - we walked all around and also rode through - had a great time
It was a bit windy but not too cold for December - they had lights that changed colors on the falls and just happened to get this picture with the green in the back :)
Jake Granstra-Patrick Kooima-David Buyert-Jacob Faber - and Marcus -5 high school buddies got together on Friday after Thanksgiving and had a great day hunting!!!! That evening then Patrick's parents had a big pheasant fry for them all - was a great break for them from college and they had gorgeous weather that day too which made it even better!!! In two weeks they will all be home for Christmas break - looking forward to that as well!!!
This is our family picture taken before church on Thanksgiving morning - hope you all had a blessed Thanksgiving and enjoy this Holiday season!!
And of course one of just the teenagers and Paco - we had a very nice day enjoying time together!!
This was before the last game on Saturday at Applebees - and yes I have a pink stripe in my hair - I bought pink hair spray and the girls thought that I should get into the game so I let them give me a pink stripe just like they all did - Fun times!!!
This was the maroon out at the first game against Carroll Keumper - won in 3 games!!
Jamie with Abby and Alissa the Pollema twins after the game(Alissa plays and Abby was a manager)
Game 2 against Grundy Center was a black out - won in 4 games - lost first game 24-26 won game 2 and 3 score was 26-24 both games and won last game 25-18 - Fun match and very exciting and the girls didn't give up!!
After the game with all the sophomore players - awesome group of friends that Jamie has!!
Interesting day today - had a few new things that have never had before - made for a fun day - 1st was this one - Mike had a bucket set that had two coons caught in the same trap!!
2nd he caught a coyote in a snare - was too fun - and it was kinda funny too - the fence on the top was an electric one and it was hot!!!!!!!!!
The coyote got caught - wrapped itself around the fence and then fell off the ledge - well Mike and Marcus both got shocked twice before they got him out - Jamie and I just watched and giggled a little - we didn't offer to help - but they did a great job and didn't wreck the fence at all in the process.
Two guys pretty proud of this one!!!
Jamie loves to help with the muskrats and she always keeps it fun and interesting too
Yep - enough said
Day one was very successful - it is and was extremely windy here today and yesterday and all night long - so many bigger animals than normal on first day. 
Here are the beautiful ladies that I will be with this weekend on our annual shopping trip to Mpls., MN - this is from 2009 = we almost have it down to a science and we all work well together - we are very good coupon and deal shoppers and love helping each other out and love love that MN is tax-free.
Looks like we did pretty well that year - hope Mpls is ready for us this year !!! 2 more sleeps and here we come!! I think that the pizza delivery guy actually took this picture for us - too funny!!!
