Happy Baby!

What a happy girl! This is our niece Ashlyn on her baptism day. The beautiful dress she wore was made by my Great Grandma Kannigeiter. My cousins and I wore it and now another generation is starting to wear it too.

From there to bare!

One way to tell at our house that spring is just around the corner!

Bolt Project

Here is a project i've been working on at home in the garage and basement. I have a series of pails loaded with all different sizes of bolts and nuts and I was sick of seeing them sit around the basement. So I decided to organize them and make more room on the floor, it also gave me something to do after work out of the cold. I made a 4x3 sheet of half inch plywood with buckets free from work that are used in grain elevators and bolted them to the wood-works good!

I'm the biggest loser

No, i'm not actually but, the wife and i started diets awhile ago. We have been doing good and sticking to our diets. I have lost about 30 lbs., and Christy lost about 28lbs. We are starting to fit back into our old clothes from high school!!! Which makes us feel alot better!! Here are some pics of me now(sorry i didnt take pics when we started). I am wearing my old jeans from high school after my first big diet my senior year, size 36 waist!!
