Mothers day

What to do on Mothers day? Not really what I was expecting or maybe what was not originally in my heart to do was to spend the day out on the boat. Mom means compromissing and doing what ever will make those little faces glow. After several hours of hearing nothing but, "Mom It's a sunny day!" "Mom let's go fishing!" "Mom, let's go to the lake!" "Mom, let's go out on the boat!" I gave in and we where off to Tullock to go fishing and spend the day out on the boat. Besides I guess the importance of the day is that we where all together as a family on this Mothers Day.




The day was a blast and I must admit I had just as much fun as the boys. I was concerned of the weather turning bad but it managed to remain comfortable but a little cool at times. The Crappie where hot and perfect for the boys. In 4 hours of fishing the boys had caught 80 + fish and of course we returned all of them to the lake. The boys are becoming quit the little fisherman. Logan was Mr. Independant which did concern me a little because he was determined to remove his own hook from the fish and by the end of the day he was a professional at it.


All of the boys have absolutely no issues of holding their fish and where proud of there catch. What can I mom say but, "I proudly spent Mothers day with my family fishing and had a great day." The excitement, the smile, and bright eyes every time they new they had caught a fish was the best. What I loved was hearing each of them tell the other one what a great job they did after catching a fish. MEMORIES:>



The boys where worn out from reeling in all of their BIG FISH or maybe it was because they had to fight with mom for their Superman fishing pole. HE HE HE! What a wonderful day.

Our first garden.

Agriculture 101
I'm not sure if my lesson on agriculture was completely understood today. It appeared that they understood the process of the seed going into the ground but not entirely sure that they understood that soon we would be able to eat the vegetable that would grow from the plant. Although I do believe that they completely understood how the shovel, rake, and hoe worked.

The beginning of our 2011 Garden: Corn, Tomatoes, Squash, cucumbers and more to come. Did somebody say dirt. What would three 3 year olds enjoy more then dirt? (Getting to play in it!) Oh ya and TRACTORS. What a great afternoon it was!

Ryan was a great helper when it came to planting the corn with mommy. He made sure that only one kernel was placed in every hole and then covered and was able to follow directions very well while planting 4 rows all by himself. Logan and Owen then finished the additional rows with much needed direction.

I would have to say I think the tractor was the most exciting for the boys. They looked so big riding up there with daddy and they even took turns driving.
