Gone Fishin'

We all went fishing tonight. I was just going to let Ethan and Ben go, but Wyatt started crying and saying "Daddy" when they went outside, so we tagged along too.

Funny story...
You can see how Wyatt is dressed in long sleves and pants while Ethan is wearing shorts and a t-shirt. Well, Wyatt was dressed more appropriately before he fell into the pond tonight. Both Ben and I were right beside him. He lost his balance and fell over backwards right into the pond. We just couldn't catch him in time. Poor kid. It was only a few inches deep and he didn't even get his face in it. But, it scared him a bit and soaked him a whole lot. The only clothes I had in the van were winter clothes, so that's what he got to put on.

Man!

My good friend and room-mate from my college days came to visit last weekend!  She brought her boyfriend along, too.  It was so fun to spend the weekend with Amanda and to meet Tim.  Thanks guys for coming all this way to visit us!


And I can't do a post without a cute picture of my two boys.

 

Spring

We have been loving the spring weather. We've been outside pretty much all week.
Happy boys!

Funny story...Ethan has suddenly developed a fear of flies. The first day we saw one earlier this week he was hysterical. I mean tears, shaking, crazy scared. I had no idea what to do about it. A friend suggested we learn the "Shoo Fly" song. So I taught him the song.

His version: Shoo fly don't bother me, shoo fly don't bother me, shoo fly don't bother me. 'Cause I really don't like flies!

P.S. He's gotten better with the flies. Still doesn't like them, but at least we can be outside. HA!

Chick Days

My boys love chick days, so we are fequent fliers at the farm stores this time of year.

Family Time

Ben had a week of vacation, so we got to head back to Kansas to visit some family.  While we were on our way home we found out that Danny and Vicki had their baby, so the boys have a new cousin!  We came back through KC, so that we could meet her.  Sarah is such a cutie and so sweet!  We had a great time seeing everyone.
