Fishing

This is from Monkey.....I had a good time fishing yesterday. We went with Grandma, and the kids. Thanks for the big ride on the way to the beach, Mom. Thanks the baby came with us. Thanks Bear came with us. I catched a fish, 3 fishes. See our pictures. I love you really much Grandma and Grandpa. Get better too Grandpa.
This is from Bear....I got 1 fish. we picked up the fish, and sat down, and do this (which he is motioning that he reeled it in). We put the fish back down in the water. I love Grandma too.

Monkey also wanted to say.....there was carpet ball at our vacation.

Yesterday was the first time fishing for the boys. I asked them what they wanted to say about fishing, so it would be like they were writing the blog today. I told them it would be like writing a letter to Grandma and Grandpa.  Monkey caught 3 fish, and Bear caught 1. They sat very well, I was surprised. I even sucked it up and took a fish off the hook. I could only do it because it was just caught on the lip, not stuck way down in the fish. My mom was in charge of the worms though. I can't handle that part.







p.s. I love dad very really much, and miss you too. I'll love you always. Even I want you to be good and nice. That's what Monkey decided he wanted to add at the end.

Dentist visit gone bad

Check it out.... instead of cleaning his teeth the dentist turned them orange! :P


Ha ha ha.... This was the prize Monkey chose out of the treasure box at the dentist office. First dentist trip is marked as successful!  Monkey loved it because he got to watch a movie.  Bear isn't that much of a movie fan, but he did have a Thomas the train movie and Bear loves Trains so that was exciting. He didn't get to see much of the movie though because he was so focused on what this strange man was going to do to him next. He had quite the puzzled look on his face the whole time. But he was very good and didn't hesitate so I was impressed.  Monkey does have some spots of concern in his back teeth so they are going to fill them now before they get worse and cause pain. He gets to use laughing gas! That will be next week. We'll see if trip B is as big of a hit as trip A!

Camp

Hello,
Sorry it's been awhile. We just got done with our vacation at Family Camp in Clear Lake, IA. We had a good time. The boys had fun and so did we. We already have our reservation for next year.

Thanks for praying for my dad. He had his surgery today to remove a tumor on his brain. All went well, so that's a praise.

Have a good day,
TJ

Fireworks

TJ lit some little fireworks in the driveway tonight. We let the boys stay up late so it would be a little bit darker. I hope that doesn't backfire tomorrow. I guess we'll see what happens?! Atleast TJ will be home tomorrow too! :)
