pre-summer fun

this weekend we hosted a sunday school party at our house. we had wonderful food and the kids all had fun playing and fishing together. we had a grand total of five people in the pond during the course of the night. three little ones fell in the pond with their clothes on (greyson was one of them), one jumped in on purpose, and one got thrown in.

greyson caught his first fish that night (unfortunately, i was not around so i didn't get to capture it on camera). he already loves fishing with daddy! he also touched his first fish...he was a little hesitant at first but then thought it was cool.


today was a scorching 90 degrees so i thought it would be fun to get out the sprinkler greyson got from his aunt jen. greyson would run as fast as he could, squeal, and try to drink the water from the constantly moving sprinkler. you can imagine how comical it was! john decided to get his trunks on and swim in the pond. the water was cold but greyson insisted he got in with daddy. he enjoyed this more than the sprinkler. it also gave me a chance to use my new lens john got me for christmas. i think i'm in LOVE! i cant' wait to use it more this summer!!

summer is right around the corner...more days like this are on its way!

you know sometimes you have a crappy day at work- and then you come home and everything is better. Today was one of those days. I am happiest when I am with my bubba and my wife...

First, what a sweet sweet comment from John! Second, this post is amazing! It sounds like the party was a hit! Although, your parties always are :) The pictures turned out great so that lens was a great gift!

It has been so beautiful out. It makes me even more itchy for summer vacation...a few more days. How fun for Greyson that he loves water so much and he's got a pond in his backyard! :)
