A good day

Today was a good day. Stone and Daddy went fishing by themselves for the first time. Cade and I met them at the lake for a late afternoon dinner. What great weather for something like this! Of course, I took 14,857 pictures.

I learned a few new things today.

Stone can cast and reel for H-O-U-R-S. He is more and more like Chad every day. Maybe that's why he's such a mystery to me. He whined when I told him to come get dinner. So, I tried to sweeten the deal and asked him to come get chips and cookies (a sure bet at my house). He still threw a fit that he had to quit 'fishing'.


Stone has a very, very short temper when it comes to technical difficulties. The line would get would around the end of the pole and...well, all hell broke loose. Crying, screaming, throwing. Again, very much like his Daddy (who will hopefully never stumble across this post).



I learned that Cade is coming into his personality even more and he's going to be a charmer.

He's either going to be a politician:


Or a rock star:


I learned that I have a truly huge mouth. I thought this picture would turn out cute, but I just look like I'm going to eat my child.

I learned that I'm jealous of my children's eyelashes!


Ahh, yes, it was a good day for lessons. A good day to be outside. A good day, indeed.
