Just another day

We did some more fishing this weekend.

I love this picture of Bear. Just look at that sweet face.

Just more proof of what a real fisherman he is. He had no problems getting worms for me to hook.

Bug's first catch.Jeff took this one. I just love all of the colors.
Bo "read" me his hat, "Fisher kids get bite's too"

I got my first catch worth counting. I almost never catch anything. I can sit right next to Jeff using the same bait and get nothing while I just watch him reel one after another in. So imagine my surprise yesterday, first of all that I got a bite, to feel such a fighter on my line. It was very exciting so you will have to forgive my excess of pictures.

Check out Bug's face. Jeff told them to come close so we could get a picture of how big it was. I guess she didn't think that was such a good idea.
Very exciting! I will have to hold on to that memory for the next hundred time we go fishing and I catch nothing.

This is a busy weekend for us. We have Toy Story 3 tonight, Bo's birthday party tomorrow and Father's Day/Bo's birthday on Sunday. Yesterday was my planned day to do lots of cooking in preparation for this weekend among regular everyday cleaning and birthday party shopping. Things didn't go just as I had planned. I was unable to go grocery shopping before Bug's dentist appointment. Our visit took longer than I had expected and with Kati feeling so lousy afterwards shopping was really out of the question.

My sweet baby, without my asking, offered to go for me. Not only did he go for me after he worked all day but he missed most of the basketball game he wanted to watch. Because of his selfless act I was able to get three of the things cooked last night. Not only did he make last night easier for me he eased my load today because now I don't have to do all that shopping and can continue my cooking and party planning.

Future Ben

Bear loves to make "inventions". He really only knows what they are. This is one of his latest.

Whatever it is clearly worked for Bo and it pleased Brendon.

Here's a little something to cool you off

This is how you know you are behind on your blogging. It's nearly 100 degrees outside and I still have pictures of snow I haven't posted.

That Friday morning we headed down the street to Kati's best friend's grandmothers house. Taylor and her parents were coming by and asked if we wanted to come play in the snow.

I guess it's something you just have to do........

eat the snow.

It was really good snow for angels and I was glad that Bear didn't care he was getting snow all down his pants. I love this smile.

This nerd thought it would be fun to make one face down.

After we headed home we changed our wet clothes and settled in for lunch when I heard a knock at the door. It was my Daddy. It was a nice surprise. It shouldn't have been a surprise since we had plans for him to come but with all the snow it slipped my mind. So we bundled back up and headed out back to play.
This is a big ball of snow that Kati and I rolled together. Man was that thing heavy. They should definitely make snow rolling an event on the Biggest Loser.

And this was the best part of my day.

For the first time in 27 years I got to make a snow man with my Daddy. Never done anything like that before. It was nice to get a childhood memory even if I had to wait this long to get it.

(You will have to ignore how sad he looks. I didn't think
to take a picture until the poor guy was melting.)

Brought from Germany Made in China

Mom and Dad made a trip to Germany to meet their new daughter ("in law" but we don't say that). While they were there they of course brought back gifts for the kids and everyone. The one the kids were most excited about were these eggs you placed in water. Within 48 hours they were to hatch a dinosaur. I explained several times before doing this that they wouldn't see anything happen for a very long time but Bo still wouldn't leave the containers side. The kids were just precious to watch.

As some of you know I have started my Mary Kay business, which I love. But my post isn't about that, it is about my darling husband. He built an office for us. It gives me a place for all of my things, free of kids. I can be organized and professional. I love how thoughtful he is.
