OK now that I have that all clear I wanted to wish all the fathers out there a Happy Fathers Day. We spent out day in the mountains fishing (I figured it was something that both the kids and Jake would enjoy). We went with my sister in law and her husband and son, and met my parents up there (although everyone was invited, not all we able to join). It rained most the day :( so we were soaking wet, but that did not stop us. We did stop and cook some lunch and made a fire so that we could warm up.
ok, these were suppose to be last but because they are here there is nothing I can do about it now. I included these pictures to show what we have been doing the last few weeks around the house. For those of you who do not know, this is our back yard that is FINALLY all picked up and organized (I have only been trying to get that done for the last 5 yrs and something else always seems to be more important). Usually it has tall weeds and it is where we pile everything when we do not know what to do w/ it, or have the time to deal w/ it. As you can see, my husband collected wood and we finally have it in a nice, neat pile instead of a heaping stack. We mowed all the weeds down and removed some shed bases (3) (left by the previous owners), weed ate ? eated ??? around the fence, hauled 3 loads of junk to the dump, saw 3 snakes (but no mice), got stung by wasps, etc, etc, etc. I am just sooooo glad to finaaly have it done. I wish I would have taken a before picture because some of you are probably thinking it still looks like a pig sty-- believe me it is a 100% better than it used to be.
Gracee and Jake fishing-- she loved the idea until she fell in, then she was too stinking cold to care.
Krae and his cousin Quinten w/ the days catch-- not much, nor very big, but is sure made these 2 happy.
So beside cleaning up our back yard, we finished up our 6 week swim lessons last week at the court club. This is Krae, and for some reason it was just the 2 of them on the last day, usually there were 4.
Here is Gracee and I-- on the last day they learned about water safty so they all were wearing their life jackets. This was a parent/tot class so yes, I had to get in the pool everytime, besides having to do that I enjoyed the class, especially the last 5 mins of every class where we went and sat in the hot tub. Gracee liked it the first week, cried the whole time on the 2nd and 3rd week, and then the 4-6th week she decided she was quite the fish and became a dare devil-- so much that she now scares me around the water because she has no fear. I do not know if that is a good or bad thing.
And here is Jake (my 3rd child) on the way home. He decided to put our nephews swim goggles on. When he let me take this picture I am sure he did not even think that I might possibly put this on here
