Fathers, Fun, and Fishing

Father's Day Weekend turned out to be a fantastic time! I asked Bryson what he wanted to do on Saturday since we had no plans and he made the mistake of saying, "Well I don't want to waste it away....let's do something". And boy did we! We did entirely too many fun things (Ihop, Dollar Movies, Golfing, Swimming, and Dinner Out) and we were exhausted and looking forward to spending time with family relaxing on Sunday! We went to church with Matt and Kena then headed to their house for a delicious lunch and to watch the kids play on their fun water slide!

They didn't like me making them stay in their church clothes to take pictures. They look so cute though!!!
Two little mini Brysons! My sister always says she doesn't know how a mini girl version of Bryson could be so cute :)

The girls helped Bumpy open his presents!

I think Hannah is the prettiest and sweetest girl ever!

This little toot found some kind of lip gloss and was a mess!

After a fun afternoon at Kena's house we headed to Pauls Valley to visit Nana and Papa and to see Aunt B who came up from Dallas. Josie always gets to come inside when the kids come over. I think they all love this little arrangement!

Aunt B is getting married in a little over a week and it is a costume wedding. Brody and Meg had fun with part of Nana's costume!

And they sported their new shirts from Nana and Papa's recent vacation to Florida.

After a delicious dinner we were all ready to head outside!

Meg is a cheeser!

Doesn't she look sneaky!

We all had a great time fishing!

Spending time in Pauls Valley makes me look forward to when we move to our land in Blanchard. Brody and Meg love to be outside and I know they will be so happy with more room to roam and explore. And maybe some more animals to play with!

Meg caught her first fish

With daddy's help!

And got lots of loving from Aunt B!

And tried to get the donkeys to do what she wanted them to do

And I even caught my first catfish!

Pretty good size! We (Bryson and Bruce) cleaned it and have it in our freezer waiting to eat it!

And Brody worked hard to catch a big one too

So big it broke the line

Thankfully Bruce had a net and caught it again!

He doesn't give out the hugs very often so this was extra sweet

More time with the donkeys

I really think I will be getting me a couple of donkeys when we move!

And they had fun sticking their heads in the hole and hearing their voice echo

And this is when the fun ended. She lost her balance and tumbled off and landed in the pond. Thankfully it was just the edge but let's just say she got a tad messy! I threw both kids in the bathtub and from the nastiness that was left in that tub I would say we all had a great time.

I am so thankful that Brody and Meg have such a wonderful daddy! He works so hard and is so much fun to be around. And he gives us all the best gift and that is the opportunity for me to get to stay home with them and for that I will be forever grateful! We love you!!!
