Fishing

Wow I am so worn out. I am already ready for bed and it is only 5:45pm. We took the girls fishing this morning, and they caught 26lbs 4oz worth. Ashleigh caught the biggest weighing 3lbs. 12oz. She was so proud of it. She had to call everyone and tell the how huuge her fish was. She is such a goober. We went to WalMart as soon as we were done and got her an 8x10 of it. We are going to go fishing again tomorrow morning. We went to Hondo Creek Catfish Pond today and tomorrow we are going to try Camp Bullis. Hope you all have as great of a weekend as we are having. We haven't spent this much family time in a LONG time. :)

Crafty mood

I was in a crafty mood and made a couple bow holders last night and a couple this morning. The ones I made last night are made with canvas covered with material, and the ones I made this morning are made from old frames. I think I like the ones made from old frames the best. I thought making some the other day and didn't get around to it, but was in a crafty mood last night and woke up in one this morning so needless to say I really need to figure out what I am going to do with all these bows, and bow holders. I need to call the flea market and see how much a booth is like I was going to do a few weeks ago. I need some imput from some kids to see what they like best. Mine are always saying they like them all but don't tell me which they like best.

Field Day and AAA competition

Alexus and Shelby had their field day on Friday. I went to their school at 7am with them and let Ashleigh and Alissa eat breakfast with them. After breakfast we went to Alexus' room and braided all the girls hair for their parade. They were Jamaica as you can tell from the pictures. Thank goodness a few of the moms braided their hair before they came to school because we were braiding hair from 720am til 925am and it was suposed to start at 930am. It was delayed 15 min due to water getting in the gym. Saturday Alexus had her AAA competition. She was so excited to go and compete. She loves to write and so she choose to do the creative writing. She WON! Yep she got a gold medal! She had to go in a classroom and write for 30minutes. She wrote 6pages, skiping lines of course. I am so proud of how she loves school. I wish Shelby liked it as much as she does. Her coach Mrs. Quick told her to make sure she tells her 3rd grade teacher next year that she won and wants to compete again. She told her to make sure she is assertive. Hope everyone has a great Sunday.

Oh! Btw, Andy has decided to go back to school and finish his Bachelors. I am so proud! He has worked so hard to get to where he has and for what we have. Our kids are amazed that you have to go to school after you graduate. Shelby thought he meant he was going to high school. We had to explain to her that we had already graduated from high school, and he was in college. Kids have such imaginations.

Mother's Day trip

For Mother's Day we went home and let the girls go fishing with their Poppie. I don't know who had the better time, the girls or Larry. Ashleigh caught her first fish! Alissa helped reel them in after they were hung. Alexus and Shelby learned how to cast their rods, and had a great time. Ashleigh even start telling her fishing tales. She was trying to show me how big her fish was and storied just a lil bit (a whole lot). For Mother's Day we went out to eat with Poppie, Granny-T, and Geegee at TaMolly's. It was Yummy! I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day and didn't have to work too hard. The last picture of Ashleigh is of her showing how big her fish was. It sure was a big fish huh?

New Bows

I think I may try and get a booth at the local flea market and see if they will sell.
