Christmas Recap

The 26th, my sister and kids came for a Family Christmas celebration.

Memorial Day Weekend

We couldn't have asked for better weather at camp this past weekend. It was warm and green and soooo peaceful and quiet. The boys had fun playing on the beach, fishing with Papa, going for walks through the woods, and playing ball in the back yard. Seth, my water boy, did not let the cold water of the lake hold him back. We had to make him get out once his teeth started chattering. John got his first ride on the 4-wheeler thanks to the new junior sized helmet, and I got to celebrate my birthday in my favorite place.

Baa Baa

ABCs

Halloween

Last weekend we went to the local farm market to buy pumpkins and fresh apples. We made applesauce, apple cake, the boys ate a gajillion apples each, and then carved our pumpkins.

For Halloween we walked around the local neighborhood. Seth (obviously) was a T-Rex and John a Block. John's daycare had a parade in the morning where local businesses down the street gave out candy and Seth's class had a party.

Firsts, Part 4.

Last weekend we went up to camp and enjoyed the beauty of the northern states in the peak of the fall season. This is what I missed SOOO much about living in CA, TX and GA. Fall is my favorite time of year. So many colors, the temperatures, the tastes..... aaaah this is home.

This morning I woke up to frost on the ground and cars and it occurred to me that it's well past time to buy winter coats. This will be John's first glimpse of snow, and Seth's first glimpse of snow that actually sticks to the ground and piles up.

Anyhow, last weekend at camp I got to take Seth 4-wheeling, and fishing, and both boys kayaking. Which of course leads me to the "First" of this post...... Seth's First Fish! We had beautiful weather and I got some beautiful pictures.

John didn't actually come fishing with us.

His feet didnt' touch the bottom of the boat and he couldn't
keep his balance with the rocking of the boat.

Seth caught a salmon.

We also got to go to a kite festival. Unfortunately we didnt' have enough wind for kiting, but Seth got to make his own kite and run with it.

I saved my favorite picture for last.... kayaking on Sunday morning with my boys. John was in my lap.
