Kaiden's First (Big) Catfish!

On Monday Kaiden and I went fishing and he hooked a big catfish on his rod.  His rod only had 4 pound test on it.  He fought with it for a while, but the fish won and snapped his line.  He was so excited and then so bummed out.  He was determined to come back the next day with a different set up and try again.  Guess what - he got one!  I've done a lot of fishing with him, but I've never seen him get this excited over a fish.  You would swear that he won the lottery!  He's no longer satisfied with fishing for sunny fish.  I have a feeling more 'fat cats' are going to be caught in the near future.

Stick Fishing . . .

When Kaiden gets bored, he always invents things.  He's been getting bored with fishing and catching sunny fish so easily, so he made his own stick rod.  It was a lot more challenging because there was no reel, but he loved it!

My Heart Loves Photo Editing . . .

I don't know what it is about editing photos, but I could get 'lost' when I'm doing it.  It's so fun to change photos and make them into something more fun!

Fun at Sweet Arrow Lake . . .

Last weekend was so nice, so the kids and I decided to head to Sweet Arrow Lake.  Our original intent was to go fishing, but I knew that wouldn't last long.  We didn't catch any fish, but we did have lots of fun trying!  Of course a trip to the lake wouldn't be complete without Kiersen posing and doing some gymnastics along the way.  Kaiden found a disc golf frisbee and enjoyed throwing that too.  I'm so happy we live so close to this amazing place!

Garage Practice . . .

So we have a 'set up' in the garage for Kaiden and Kiersen.  Kaiden shoots three rounds of targets and then Kiersen gets to practice on her bar.  Keeps everyone happy!

First Football Game of the Season - Lykens vs. Pine Grove . . .

On Saturday the kids had their first game against Lykens.  Although their teams didn't win, they had fun cheering and playing!
