Hockey game with my dad!

My daddy-o and I went to a STARS game tonight! It was nice not having the boys hanging all over me (don't get me wrong- I LOVE my boys hanging on me all the time), but getting to spend quality time with my dad was great!! Even if they lost.. oh well, can't win them all.

I even splurged and bought myself a shirt. I also got Johnny one for his birthday. Then of course- Kyle wanted one, too. I figured we could all wear our hockey shirts for Johnny's birthday party since that's the theme anyhow! So, it was worth it, right??

Thank you Chris for the tickets, and Kyle- for being super dad.. as usual. Oh.. can't forget Mama Jean for getting the boys to and from church. Thank you guys for a much needed break!!

Go fish!

My father-in-law came over yesterday while I was ironing and asked if Johnny could go fishing. He said he threw his line out 3 times and caught 3 fish. Of course Johnny jumped at the chance to fish! I thought I would go give it a shot, too. My very first cast I caught a fish.

Johnny is holding the second fish caught. We were catching them left and right! I actually lost count. And- most of them we caught were about this size!! This fish had a small fish in his mouth. We could just see the tail...groady!


Haha Lynn! Just kidding! Johnny said he left you the little ones. You need to come visit and fish.



Kyle took Justin and Joel for a ride on the golf cart. They came back just as the fish stopped biting. Here's Justin giving it a shot anyhow.


Joel wants that pole Papa!


And as always, what Joel wants Joel gets.


Guess I need to go teach Johnny how to play the card game, go fish!!

Happy Monday! And- Happy Birthday to my cousin Mary!!

Addicts I tell you

This is the boys on the gator rounding the corner to their Mama Jean's house.
I was taking groceries in the house and I told the boys they could jump on the trampoline while I was unloading the truck. They decided to ride the gator instead. I told Johnny that was fine as long as they stay away from the water. Next thing I knew they were off to Mama Jean's house. They're kinda' addicted!

Then again.. so is she!


I'm sure Johnny was asking to spend the night with her.


Watch out Mama Jean. They're coming for ya'.


After we got home I asked Johnny why he took off to Mama Jean's without asking and he tells me, "Well, you only said stay away from the water. You didn't say anything about Mama Jean's house." *rolling eyes* He's a smarty that boy! And too cute for my own good.



Here's my little Lady. She was right on my heels and too cute not to share!

I was tagged

Tag! You're it!

I have been tagged by my friend Kristi. Here are the rules:


1) Choose the 4th folder where you store your pictures on your computer.
2) Select the 4th picture in the folder.
3) Explain the picture.
4) Tag 4 people to do the same. No cheating (cropping, editing, etc.)

Well, this was actually #5, but 4 was blurry and pretty much the same thing. OK...so there couldn't be a nastier picture. This one is of the first house Kyle and I bought in Mesquite. We gutted it as you can see here. That's my dad putting it back together!!

I'm going to tag Mary Jane, Berny Duke, Debbie Griffin, Deanne Cleere, and Sarah Duke. I know that's five, but I wanted to see one from all five of them! And- anyone else who want to do it, too. My taggies that don't have a blog just email it.
