Fishing Time/Bailee's First Fish!

We spent Memorial Day out on our boat spending some quality family time fishing.  The weather was really warm finally and Lance caught quite a few good size fish.  Even Bailee caught a white bass.  Lance would cast and she would help reel it in and all of a sudden they had a fighting fish on the line.  Lance was so proud of his fishing buddy.  She was also in love with touching the fish and Aftin was really interested in them but didn't really like touching them.  She may be my little princess.

One of the first fish that Lance caught.

Even Rookie got involved.  He's been Lance's fishing buddy for a few years now.

Bailee's first fish!

Bailee was very proud of her fish.

Camping Time!

The McNamara family was camping nearby over Memorial day weekend so we came to visit and spent some time hanging out and having fun!

The girls enjoying the campsite.

Aftin the cheeseball!

Maggie loved sharing her salad with Lance.

Here's a close-up of the salad.

The McNamara's having a blast on the slide.

Bailee swimming in the rocks.  It was funny until she was full of mud from the wet rocks.

Maggie heading down right before the girls.

Bailee loved the slide.

Graduation Pictures...

Michelle and I were having fun taking "graduation" pictures next to a lilac bush.  The rest of the family wanted to get into it too.  Here are a few of the fun pictures.

Michelle had the perfect graduation picture touch.

Kennedy and Alexis had fun with the pics.

Papa took it to a whole new level.

Alexis called these her horns.

Family Time!

Papa and Auntie Michelle

Kennedy looks a little like the peacock with the blue in her hair.  She got it for her 11th birthday.

Cole, Kennedy and Alexis mesmerized by the peacock.

Still waiting on that smile Maddyx.

Good old Papa.

My dad and I.

The girls.  Notice the bib on Aftin, lots of drool due to eye teeth coming in.

Papa and Cole.

Baseball Time!

We got to watch our nephew Blake's baseball game recently.  He did so great and it was a really close game.  Can't wait to see him play again!

Blake practicing.

Megan is in this picture and Blake is up to bat.

Blake had a really good hit.

Happy Mother's Day!

We spent Mother's Day with Lance's side at Uncle Rusty and Tamara's house and then headed to Uncle Buddy and Auntie Michelle's house to celebrate with my side.  It was a wonderful day and I couldn't be happier with my two angels. 

Still waiting for that smile from Maddyx.

The Falls/Date Night

Lance and I went on a date night and we checked out St. Anthony Falls in Mpls as part of our date.  It was so pretty and the weather was perfect.  We had wonderful pizza at Punch Pizza and then went to see Water for Elephants.  It was just what we needed.

Night with the Patterson's

The girls really love their table and had a drink before bed while watching the Patterson boys.

Ashton riding on the train and looking as cute as ever.

Aftin taking a good swig of her milk.  No more bottles for these girls.
