Weekend in WI

Every year we try to pick a weekend to go to our friends cabin with the boys. The boys love it there as do I, it is very peaceful and relaxing along with great company! Bailey and Brady had a blast fishing! We went out on the boat and hit a hot spot and they caught fish left and right. Owen even caught a few with the help of his godfather- thanks Whiteye and Missy!

Bailey was bound determined to catch the big one, so when we got back to the cabin he started fishing from shore... low and behold he caught the big one!! We were in the cabin getting dinner started and we hear this kid yelling for help whom was Bailey... Rodney runs down by him with the net and scoops up a hugh 33" northern!! I wish I could of gotten it on tape, Bailey was jumping up and down, he was so EXCITED!

We had a great time and cant wait to go back! Thanks for the hospitality Whiteye and Missy!

Braatz vacation minus dad

Vacation with the Braatz boys sure is exhausting!! Fun, but tiring! I decided even though Rodney couldn't go with us I would take them anyways. So we headed 4 hours north of us to Hill City, Mn with some friends of ours. We had a blast! Owen was in heaven with the water and was pretty much in it from the time we woke up until bedtime. He was a champ, he napped 3 hours every day and went to bed about 9 every night so mom could have some downtime! Bailey and Brady we happy fisherman the entire week, they also enjoyed swimming. I just enjoyed not being at work and relaxing when Owen napped. I had a blast and I know the boys did too, these pictures prove that we had fun!
