First Fish

Yesterday we were hoping to be able to go fishing and unfortunately that didn't happen. So this morning me and the kids woke up and decided to hurry and go before anything else happened. We went out to the fish and game pond here in Huntington (which was a very long walk). Kaylee struggled with it a little bit as there was no-one to pack her and she had to walk, but she toughened it out most of the way (with her brothers help )and we made it.

When we first got there, we each had our own fishing poles to use. We borrowed Wyatts small 'cars' fishing pole for Kaylee and he got to use a big one. We cast hers out first and wouldn't you know it, she caught a fish before we even had the second pole cast out. She reeled it in all by herself for the first time and was very proud of herself. (needless to say I still can't figure out how to rotate my pictures so you have to look sideways)

We caught 9 fish total and took four home to have for supper. None of them were real big but they were alot of fun to real in. More than half of what we caught were albino trout which are very weird but they bite like crazy. These are of Wyatt reeling in a small albino.

Long time comin

I haven't posted anything since Christmas and I know there is alot that I'm going to leave out, but I don't remember most of it so bear with me.

These first two pictures are of Kaylee in January. She was struck with a severe case of RSV and we spend 3 days in the hospital doing breathing treatments to get her better. She was a super good sport about everything.

 

 We were then stuck with 2 unexpected litters of puppies. 22 total. 13 from the first batch and 9 from the second. I'm counting the days until I get rid of them all....

 These are just two pictures that I thought were cute that i'd throw in here. We have finished with school for the year and a few more stressful encounters are over with so now we are trying to prepare to enjoy summer before anything else overtakes us.
