Birthdays, Puppies and Fishies!

This past week has been a very fun one! Started off by celebrating my 21st birthday! Scott made a very fun game show for me in the morning to open my presents (he is always so sweet and creative!) Then when I got to work the kids surprised me by bombing me with twenty one balloons! We had a fun day of playing then I headed home to get ready for dinner! Our friends Michaela and Bill joined us for dinner at Osaka...an AMAZING hibachi grill. It was so much fun and the best birthday I could have asked for!! Friday we packed up and headed up North where we got to meet Gracie, she is the most adorable puppy ever! The fam got her for Tom for Father's day...she is such a sweetie and such a good puppy! We spent some time with them and then headed to Brainerd Saturday for a week of fishing and fun. It was a great time even though scott had a bad cold and Trent got the flu one day and threw up about twenty times! The weather wasn't the greatest but we still had a great time and did our part by ridding the lakes of all the crappies (JK) but we did make quite a haul in the crappie department. Trent also was very proud to land a four pound bass in the dark...it was pretty sweet. The winner however, has to go to Scott's sister heather who landed a 6 pound bass near shakopee, I think all the guys jaws dropped when they heard that one! We're finally back home now and happy to be able to sleep in our own bed tonight since about a week and a half of being gone! Liddell is pretty happy to have us home too :)
