Gone Fishin

Garden 2012

Since we now have another trailor at the lake, we also have a garden that came with it.  I tilled it (my first time) a few weekends ago and we (Teaf &  I) planted last weekend.  Teaf had mapped out where everything was going weeks prior.  He roped off the areas and then we teamed up planting and watering.  My dad ended up helping out towards the end of the day too, which was definately helpful.

It's really early round' these parts to be planting but with the nice weather we just couldn't resist.  Usually May is the time people start to plant so hopefully we won't get hit with below 32 degrees for too many days.  I am learning a whole lot about gardening and its so awesome.  The girls are into it too.  This past weekend Teaf and I had are eyes to the ground looking to see if we could see any fruits to our labor from the past weekend.  I know it seems kinda silly because it had only been 7 days.  WE ARE EXCITED and a bit nervous because some of the "rules to gardening" we are learning after we already planted;)  Its an adventure none the less.  YAY for home grown food! 

Hook, Line, & Harper

Thats right...my baby is a real fisher-woman.  This is the first year she has truly fished with hook and all.  She has a little Dora pole and sure enough her first cast into the water she had a bite.  She was a bit spooked by all the commotion of the bobber down, Daddy telling her she had a fish, and then attempting to reel it in.  She brought it to the surface but the fishy didn't quite get all the way hooked.  The past couple summers she has ran around with a pretend plastic fish on the end and has been learning how to cast and such.  This year its the real deal.  There will be many days on the dock with her Dora pole this summer.  She is stoked...and so his her daddy:)!

Dad and Teaf workin hard!

We celebrated my mom's birthday at the lake of course. We had record high beautiful weather and took full advantage of it. We went for a boat ride, played outside, fished, and planted our garden. Pretty awesome time. Simple and amazing. I love the weekends!

Happy Birthday momma/grandma!!

March 31st, 2012 marks another year this beautiful woman makes an everlasting impact on many lives. I am one of those lucky people who gets the chance to have this beautiful soul as my mom. My kids are just as lucky to have her as their grandma. She has such a bright spirit that touches and teaches lives daily. She is a life long learner and through her learning and growing teaches me to be a better woman. She teaches by example and is always there for me.

Thank you mom for being a light in my life who always takes care of me no matter how old I get. You are equally a caretaker to my children and for that I can't thank you enough. Happy Birthday momma, your the best around!
