Memorial Day

We decided we wanted to spend Memorial Day with a crack of dawn fishing trip!

On the way to the fishing spot, we passed a turtle in the middle of the road. If you know me, you know that I am passionate about stopping and helping the turtles cross the road. And he was such a handsome turtle. Very shy.



We caught a bunch of fish.



Here's my catfish.



Jeremiah kept catching the trees.



Leon also caught a cat.



Teaching his boys how to unhook a mean cat.





Calvin's 2nd catch of the day.



Kelsea was mostly bored. Fishing is not her "thing".



But the rest of us had a blast.



We went home and took a nice long afternoon snooze. We decided to head out to another lake (one closer to home) and do some evening time fishing. We caught a bunch more fish. Unfortunately I did not have my camera. I enjoyed the evening fishing much more than the crack of smack fishing. Just sayin'.

Party at the Tippett's

Went to a friend's house today. We had SUCH a great time!



The food was so fantastic! Plenty to choose from. Matt grilled some squash and onions. JacLynn grilled some asparagus. Pretty much, if it could go on the grill, it did. HA! It was all so very delicious. Lots to drink too. Lots. haha! Stephanie knows how to make a mean margarita and a snazzy peach fuzzy navel-like thing. And one can not forget the jello.





The kids all had a great time together. They played, they fought, and best of all they mostly they kept themselves busy!









The cutest baby on the block!





I haven't had that much fun in a very long time!

Nightly Visitor

We have a new friend. He likes to visit us every evening. Once he even came in the house. This caused quite a stir. Especially since Darth Vader (our cat) was on the prowl. Thankfully we got him back outside and informed him that he is not an "inside guest".



Even if he is rather cute.
