Gone Fishin'

Oh, Spring has definitely sprung at our house. Adam has had a little bit of spring fever and been working really hard to get the yard looking good. It definitely looks better than ever! I guess he needed a little down time too so he has been going fishing a lot! I guess it's a little easier to do this when you have a pond that is stocked in the back yard. Brody has really been getting into it too. He will throw the end of his rod into the pond (Adam took a reel off one of the rods and lets Brody carry that one around) and say, "Look Mommy, I got one" It's so sweet. I am enjoying this age so much!!!!!

Easter 2009

Oh the best laid plans.... don't always work out that way. Amanda and I had planned to have a rather big egg hunt for all the pre-school aged kids that our friends have. We had been planning this for a while and had all of the supplies ready. We had sent out invitations, bought all kinds of plastic eggs, table cloths, plates, napkins, snacks and juice-- not to even mention the candy!!! But wouldn't you know it, This was scheduled for Friday, stormy,ugly, Friday. We had to cancel. It was a bummer. I hadn't even told Brody that much about it so I know I was a lot more disappointed than he was. Oh well, I guess we'll have all of that stuff for next year, the stuff that won't spoil that is.
Bobbie Lyn told us that her sisters and some friends were going to get the kids together to hunt eggs down at the local park on Saturday. She said we were welcome to come. So we got ready and headed out. It was the coldest, fastest easter egg hunt ever. The kids had a great time and Brody did really well hunting eggs. I thought I would have to show him where they all were, but I didn't. He got a lot on his own. He decided about half way through that he would rather swing but I quickly talked him out of that when I saw the 3inch deep mud puddles under them. Yesterday morning I got up rather early and went ahead and got ready. We decided that it was past time for Brody to start going to Sunday school. (Our church doesn't have a nursery so I wanted to wait until he could sit down at the table and not run around like a crazy man). He did really well. You can definitely tell that his Gramma (Adam's mom) works with them doing things at the table. He was pretty good and I know that he is ready to start going all of the time. Mom and Dad, Curt and my Mamaw Clark came to Church with us. We had a great service and then we headed home. Later, we went to my Aunt Evelyn's for dinner and another Egg Hunt. We had a blast and as usual ate way, way too much.
We also went by Gramma and Grandpa's house for another feast and then headed home. We had a great Easter and I really do look forward to many, many more.
