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...

Can You Guess What Might Be Wrong!!??

Here is Ruby so proud of what she has done. Can you guess what it might be? This might be a better shot of her pure joy and satisfaction. Oh dear. Can we say hats anyone!? "Hi everyone. Aren't I beautiful?" "I am such a princess." Post a comment if you have figured it out. Thank goodness those Christmas pics were already made!!!
