2011 May | Spring

May is a good month.  Parker caught his first 4 fish for the season so far.  Jim and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary.  Jim cleaned our fish tank and got us some new fish to celebrate.  The kids love watching them.  Kennedy is steadily growing and doing great.  Karsen is able to walk around more and kinda keep up with his big brother.  She knows to say "please, pretty please, thanks/thank you, bottle, strawberries but sounds like sawbirriess"  We can't believe they're growing so fast.

2011 May 07 | Malakoff Diggins Fishing Derby (Kids 5 thru 11 of age)

We took Parker to join the Children's Fishing Derby this year at Malakoff Diggins.  It's about an hour away from Penn Valley.  They gave prizes to the biggest catch, heaviest total weight, etc  You can catch and take home 5 fish total maximum for each child.  The parents could cast out for the little ones but they had to reel them in themselves in order to count. 

Parker did great and caught 4 the 1st hour (it was from 9:30-1 pm).  We all had fun.  And the fish was delicious.  Here are some pics... so glad Jim is teaching our boy to fish.

2011 Easter

My 1st born and my 2nd in their swim gear  "Is it summer yet Mom?!"  Parker is always asking.

We easter egg hunted at Rob's new home in Penn Valley on Bitney Springs Road.  Lots of Kids.  Parker even played in the rain with the big boys.  Karsen was a trooper - even though the ground was wet she was still gung ho for the hunt and did not mind wet muddy pants.  Thank you Rob & Rebecca.  I'm glad the sun peaked out some of the day. 

Here are some pics...
