Fishing - March, April, May . . .

Kade loves fishing, and I love taking him fishing.  I am especially enjoying catfishing with him this year.  Kiersen has gone fishing with us twice this spring - the first time she lasted about 10 minutes and hadn't caught anything so she was done, and the second time (catfishing), she wasn't interested and ended up going to sleep on her chair.  Kade has two big fishing trips that he's looking forward to this year - the Outer Banks with Uncle Kevvers and the Buttonwood trip with his friend Riley.  Something tells me it's going to be a fishing kind of summer (oh wait . . . isn't it always a fishing kind of summer . . . ha ha).  

Archery 2023 . . .

Last weekend Kaiden finished up his 9th grade archery season with a trip to nationals in Louisville, KY with his team.  He shot a 286/300, which didn't earn him any trophies, but we are still very proud of him.  In March he took 4th place at states with a 288/300, and received a 'check' for $500 for having one of the highest overall scores in the competition.  Other season scores include:

Cardinals Clash - 270/300

Williams Valley - 272/300

Millersburg - 277/300

Bob Baker - 274/300

Jeff Kohr - 278/300

Tri-Valley - 278/300

Line Mountain - 278/300

Proud of you, Kaiden!

Kaiden's Turkey - 2023 . . .

 Kaiden shot a jake this year.  I was a little confused when Kenny shared the pictures with me because it looked like there were other alive birds in the photo (duh - decoys!)  Congratulations, Kade!

Easter 2023 . . .

 This year Easter was a little different because the kids picked out their Easter presents (they're getting older).  It wasn't quite as exciting for me.  Kaiden also didn't have an interest in hunting eggs, so he helped hide them with Kenny.  RJ - well, as typical, he just wanted to chew on sticks!

Cotton Candy . . .

Kiersen used some of her Christmas money to buy a cotton candy machine.  This girl certainly loves her candy!  This is probably one of the best purchases she's ever made.  She's made SO much cotton candy with this thing!
