Kids

Kids really do learn how the world works through watching their parents. The other day at dinner the girls were finishing up at the table. I was washing the dishes and Josh was clearing his dish. The girls decieded they wanted to play make believe. I don't know which one started it but they decided to play mom and dad. Elizabeth was the dad and Abby was the mom. This is somewhat how the conversation went.

Abby: I'm the mom...Honey will you carry me my leg hurts and I can't walk.

Elizabeth: Ok

WARNING: I'm Going To Gush

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Now I know that you don't like a lot of hoopla for your birthday...though you have gotten better at not hanging up on people that sing to you...but I just wanted to let everyone know just how wonderful you are....I know that this will smash some people's idea of you as being a grumpy old man but come on how long are you going to play that one!?

To celebrate your coming into this world...which I should give a side note to your wonderful mother who actually did all the work on this day and then did all the work in raising you, thank you so much Trudy for all that you do...I want you, Josh, to know some of the many reasons of why I love being married to you:

* You make me laugh...though no one else may think we are funny I think we are hilarious and love to laugh with you!

* Despite your kidding around about trading me in with the lemon law you are very protective of me and are always trying to find ways to make my life easier, even if it makes your life harder.

* You are kind, loving, generous...are you feeling pretty good about yourself yet?

I am happy to say that I have married my best friend and love you so much. You are and always will be my favorite!

Guys and Kids!

Saturday Josh, Adam and my dad took all the kids fishing. They woke up bright and early and took the kids up Provo canyon. My girls were so excited they wanted to catch a fish for me for Mother's Day. Thankfully they didn't catch anything, which Elizabeth was upset with for a long time. However, CAL was the fisherman and I heard caught over 10 fishes. They either threw them back or gave them away, though. Elizabeth still had so much fun and now wants to go fishing every Saturday morning! Abby I think she liked going along, but Josh tells me that she lost interest pretty quick, like after the first cast...She is a little bit of my indoor girl! These are some of the pictures from that day:

Going Fishing...Well Practicing Anyway!

Josh just got a fishing licence and is planning on taking the girls fishing. We got the girls polls last year and they have been in their boxes ever since! On Saturday Josh got them out for the girls to start practicing. He was teaching them how to cast. It was so cute. I love my wonderful husband and that he has a desire to spend time with our girls. They had lots of fun and can't wait until the weather gets a little better and they can go fishing with their dad!
