Fishin' Time

Brody trying to find the keys to start up the boat.

Just before he hooked a lunker.

Just after the fish was netter, he couldn't get down quick enough.

On Friday my dad came down from Spokane to go to the Sportsman's Show at TRAC. The boys loved all the boats and fun toys they were able to crawl over, thanks to Papa who let them!!

We thought the boys would have fun at the "fishing pond".....we were wrong! I don't think Brody knew exactly what was going to happen when he put a baited fishing pole into the water. He was standing there on the crates just fine until the fish started to bite at his pole. He didn't like that at all. As soon as he had a fish on the line the pole started jumping pretty good, he almost instantly threw the pole into the water. Thanks to his Papa all wasn't lost, he quickly grabbed the pole and was able to net the fish. Quickly after the fish was netted, Brody was on his way off the crates and over to me on the other side of the pool. He was running, yelling "I don't like that, I don't like that". Once the fish was knocked on the head, Brody & I went over to see the harmless creature. Brody was still weirded out by the whole situation. He did touch the fish finally, after I showed him numerous times it was OK. I don't think he is a future fisherman.....He is definitely his father's son!!

What was Cannon doing during all of this??? Making his Uncle Eric chase him around....Cannon enjoyed that, pretty sure Uncle Eric didn't!! =)

Yep Mom, it's broke

Since the nice weather has hit us in Pasco, the boys have really enjoyed playing outside. Riding their Gators has been a huge hit. Since their Gators are parked in the shop, the boys have full access to everything in it. Travis has always said that there is nothing in the shop that the boys can hurt. Well, today they proved him wrong!

It had been quiet outside for awhile, so I go to see what they were into. This is what I found. Brody cranking away on the engine hoist....right through the ceiling.....Cannon looking on so innocently. I don't think Brody would have stopped until he ran out of lift from the hoist. As I walked in Brody says, "Yep mom, I think it's broke" (meaning the ceiling) "Yep Brody, it sure is"

Cannon's wearing a hat

This is one of a very few times that Cannon has worn a hat. I don't know why, but he hates to wear hats. He is so stinking cute with a hat on, so we keep trying. (yes, my son has a large belly)

Kitchen Project

It has taken me a few months, but I am finally posting pictures of my newly painted kitchen. I haven't had a chance to paint the cabinets yet, but I love the walls. After painting the walls, I notice that the cabinets need it more than ever. I have picked out a color for my cabinets, so be looking for those pictures shortly.

Tell me what you think, I love it!
