Family Fishing Fun

We had a quiet Mother's Day weekend and took advantage of the sunshine to go fishing. I don't yet have my fishing license (that's as story for another time) but that gave me plenty opportunity to help the kids.

Jenna caught the first two fish (we think it was actually the same fish twice). I don't have any pictures because I was helping and she wouldn't hold the fish. Jacob and Scott also had some luck with the bass and bluegill.

When our usual spot went "cold", we moved across the river to a small sandbar. Jenna decided that the sand was more fun than the fish.

Take Me Out to the...

In early May, we took the kids to their first baseball game. It was a little chilly but we had great seats behind home plate. They both stayed really engaged. It was great timing to get Jacob excited about baseball just before he began playing on his tball team. Both kids had a lot of questions, but it was fun to teach them about my favorite sport.

Easter (Sorry so late)

Easter coincided closely to Jacob's birthday this year, so we had a lot to celebrate.

This was also the first year we dyed eggs. The kids had fun but I forgot how long the egg actually has to sit in the cup for good color...they didn't quite have the attention span for that.

Every year we get a picture on Mom and Dad's front steps. This year the sun was shining warm and bright, so this is the best I could get. They make me laugh.

We made Jacob a Lego cake for his birthday. It went well with his new stash of Legos that he opened later. I bet you couldn't guess that he likes Legos.

 And his new favorite show - Person of Interest. He's excited for Season 2!
