Back Tracking to Pioneer Days

In July, we celebrated Pioneer Days with the Ashland Ward
at Roger Tackett's camp site.  Can I just say, he has quite a set up
here.  My kids had so much fun.


This is why I had to share this post.  Little Larry
sat by the river for hours and was the only person
to catch anything.  And this was his absolute first try at
fishing.  Can you see the joy in his smile?




Here is Ethan giving it a try.
Next to Larry, he was my only other kid
to be patient with fishing.
All the others threw their line in
and if it was not instantaneous, then they would
walk away.



This is actually Larry's first catch.
The other was his second catch which was by accident.
His line had gotten tangled up in the rope.  While
trying to untangle it, his bait was in the water and he caught
a fish.  He and I both laughed and laughed.
Wish they could all be that easy.



Ethan gave it a go all over the riverside.








I wish I could say he caught one, but he did not.
He sure did have fun trying though.


Here is my big kid.


Ruby is giving him a push.





I hope everyone had a wonderful Pioneer Day!

Looks like so much fun! (I kept expecting a pic of my brother making a splash in the river--glad he swung back to the pier safely!)

What on Earth!? How can you not stop and smile?

This morning I woke up and felt really good and energized. I was just ready to start the day. I had a little fun on the wii fit at 5:30Am before waking the kids.   A Valentine's gift from a dear husband.  I love video games and well, you might as well exercise while playing. Afterwards, I started with my chores.  Just trying to tackle  one room at a time.  The first room I cleaned was the children's living room.  Why did I choose this room? I knew Ethan & Ruby would play and watch TV, but I had no idea they would do this!? Here is a darling Ruby Isabella exhausted and asleep after her mayhem and destruction. Yes, that is toilet paper all over the floor. An entire roll they managed to toss all over the living room. They also got a hold of the baby bath and made some bubbles in  the boys bedroom, and got a hold of the lotion and squirted it all over  the footboard on my bed.  Where am I during all this? Feeling really good because I had washed, dried, and folded 4 loads of la...

Apple Festival

OK,  I was too excited to wait on this new post.  We went to the Hendersonville Apple Festival this afternoon.  We have lived here 2 years and this was our first time going.  It was fun.  People had their crafts for sale and of course, lots of apples.  Anyways, center stage, a band was performing old rock n roll music.  We stopped to take a break and enjoy ice cream.  While sitting there, a square dancer asked Larry Denzil to be her partner in the square dancing routine.  Talk about a laugh, I hope you guys enjoy the pictures.  Did I forget to mention that the Hurts were in for a visit? Ok, here is Larry Denzil having a great time square dancing. I think he has found his true calling. Here is little Larry relaxing during the bands gig. Here is Larry Denzil and the little old lady who asked him to be her partner.  Poor thing, I do not think she read the back of his shirt.  He had the number  7 and at the top it said Baby Maker.  This was his work soft ball shirt. He is actually enjoying...
