Fishing, Birthdays and more Fishing.

(Mom) "Evan...what have you been up to? You have that look on your face like you have been up to something...."

Yikes. Red Crayola Crayon. (sigh.)



On Thursday we headed to the park to celebrate Grandpa Rex's, Cousin Katarina's and Cousin Victoria's Birthdays. It was the perfect opportunity for Evan to practice with his new Mikey Mouse fishing pole. (Don't worry, it has a rubber fish at the end instead of a hook. You catch one every time!)

Evan catching some air time on the slide at the party.

"I caught a fish, Mom!"

Yesterday it was so beautiful out that after work we decided to walk the tracks to the famous Novek Fishing Spot.
"Peek-a-boo, Daddy!"
Evan trying out his pole.
"OOPS!" Fell in the mud!We didn't catch any fish, but I did find some interesting things in the creek...
Today we headed out on the river for a day of fun with some friends. The weather was beautiful and we couldn't have asked for a better day!
Jeremy, Jonas and Noah.The beach we went to was perfect - it was waaaay shallow for a really long way out. The boys had a great time running around in the shallow water. Peyton trying out Evan's fishing pole.First catch of the day!Second catch of the day - Noah caught a soft-shell turtle! Don't worry - he was A-OK and we threw him back in (the turtle, not Noah.)After a long day out on the river Jonas was pretty worn out.

...and so was Evan! He fell asleep sitting up a few minutes after we walked in the door!

But the day wasn't over...yet! We still had one more birthday party to attend.
Happy FIRST Birthday, Jonny!

Annie and her beautiful birthday boy!
Emma and Evan, happy together as always (or most of the time, anyway.)And, of course, more cake. Gotta love that birthday cake. We ate a lot of it this week! Evan asked for it this morning for breakfast, actually. "Birthday cake Momma? Baby num-nums."
