Fishing Derby

The fishing derby was last Saturday and we drove to Loveland, Colorado to enjoy the day with my sister and all of her kids. The fishing derby by our house was the same weekend and it just made sense to do it all together. All the kids had fun although they didn't win the biggest or smallest fish contest.






They were able to sit back and relax when they were too hot from the sun and Popa or my sister would take over fishing for them. Popa mostly fished for Rex (neither Miah or myself are fishing type of people) and my sister did most of the fishing for my niece who is 9 months older than Rex. What did they do while everyone was fishing for them?



Well play of course! They ran around, played on the playground, and got into as much mischief as possible but that's what they are suppose to do.







 After they were done fishing they took their fish to be measured. Like I said no one had the biggest fish or the smallest fish but they had fun and that is what really counts.








I love this picture! Popa, Daddy, and Rex walking with his fish. He looks so stinkin' cute carrying his fish! I'm sad that I missed this part. I had a Heritage Makers client to meed with and had to leave early. Since she lived in Loveland it only made sense to meet with her while we were already up there.
 I love this picture too! I could resist putting this on up to share. Thank you mom for taking such cute pictures!










After all the sitting around the kids did while fishing they all had a bunch of energy to burn off so they ran and played and chased each other. I'm always so happy to see the cousins have so much fun together. It makes my heart full of joy. This is why God created family.





So I know you are probably thinking "Why did she add this photo?" but seriously I think it's cute and shows what mom's do all day, wipe noses, or something from our kids faces, hands, feet, where ever! Yes, my son has allergies and it caused him to make "The World's Largest Snot Bubble!" OK, so I may be crazy for enjoying this picture a little too much but I have to say that I was not there when it happened and everyone was snapping pictures. This one is the best one!

Holiday Traditions?

I'm so excited to be co-hosting with Melissa! I have been a long time reader & finally got around to co-hosting! I can't wait to see all of your holiday traditions & I'm sure add a few to my list too! Holiday Traditions? What are those? I'm not sure we have any set up in our family. We never really had anything that we did every year growing up either. So I'm not surprised that we haven't thought about setting anything up for our kids either. Last year we tried doing the  Three Wise Men Gifts  but I of course bought more than just 3 gifts. So what is the plan this year for holiday traditions in our house? Bass Pro Shop Winter Wonderland to visit Santa Three wise men gifts  One Santa gift plus the stocking Baking cookies at Granny & Great Popa's house Baking cookies at Grandma & Popa's house with cousins & then heading to the local fire department & police station to share with the men & women that keep us safe throug...

Y3W: I'm Not Perfect

I'm not perfect. I think you already know that as no one is perfect on this earth even though sometimes people can look like it on the outside. I do post many things about the good things going on in my life because I would rather talk about those then dread on the bad or negative things. However today I'm going to make sure you know that I'm not perfect by a long shot. Since about last Wednesday (so over a week now)I have been struggling. I haven't been doing great in my alone time in the Word, I haven't been praying like I was, I'm craving foods that I shouldn't and eating them instead of praying about it and have gained a few pounds back, I'm not doing great on the house work and I'm struggling in making the right decisions in my parenting as Monkey is entering into this new independent/I'm not listening stage. I know what has caused this struggle and I have been working on it but I have been doing alone and not letting God help me through...

WEDDING! Part 2: The Day Of

**Warning more Picture overload!** I couldn't help it! WEDDING DAY! (August 6, 2005) On our wedding day I was so excited! I got ready at my parents house and J. and the guys got ready at our house. It was so much fun to get our hair done at a long time friends  hair salon .  After that we headed over to my parents house to start getting ready.    Everyone was busy getting me ready and many people were up my dress trying to get my 'fluff' to stay up so I didn't have to hold my dress us when walking.  My dad was kicked out of the house until I was done. I wanted him to get the whole sh-a-bang when he walked in. This was interesting. I had to climb into the truck but was not allowed to step on the tailgate and I couldn't see my feet. It was so funny! It looks like we were going fast but we really weren't but that's how we got to the park.  THE CEREMONY! After all that hard work to make it so I ...
