Fishing

We had a wonderful fishing trip...all of us...Adam, Mom, Dad, Steve, Lilly, Stevie, Daisy and myself. PS we left the kitchen sink at home. We had to take two boats to get us all down the river. We had a lot of fun.

Lilly reeled in her first fish today and loved every minute of it. She told Papa she didn't want to touch it..."it is too big, I will touch one my size....little" she said. So cute.

This is us letting our fish go. Even Daisy was facinated!

I love this shot...they are tieing on a fly and both trying to see the hole where the line is supposed to go! Love it.

This is the other boat. I didn't get many pictures of Steve, Stevie or Ad because we didn't keep the same floating schedule.

Look close, I love the face Stevie is making...very typical of him!

Yeah Baby!! I still have the moves.

Lilly fell asleep just like this and slept like this for about a hour and a half. This postion is about the only way she could sleep with the life vest and to keep the sun out of her eyes.

Uncle Ad.

A "Lilly size fish she was willing to touch. Daisy is sniffing away.

Papa's big helper!

Steve

I had to post this pic of Steve! He is helping our friends with yard work and I love the look. He is sporting a lovely mustache and corresponding floppy hat! The blue t-shirt featuring the awesome sweat stains is a perfect finish to this outfit!

I think he is a hunk! (thank goodness the mustache is a thing of the past!)

Lilly

I love it when the kids get them selves dressed. They can come up with some incredible combinations. This is is all Lilly!

I love the glasses, they are "TT's." That is Lilly's nick name for Stevie. She had to sneak the hat and glasses from his room and make a run for it. When he saw me taking pictures of her, he insisted on claiming his goods.

Her face just kills me... she didn't know I was taking her picture and she is just standing. She is cute even with the blank expression!

Lilly's birthday

Lilly's birthday. I will add captions later!

Rain Rain Go Away!

When Stevie was little and we lived in Alabama...yes we actually lived in Alabama...the only time we could go outside and play in the summer was during a rain storm. It would get so hot there the city would put out advisory warnings to keep your kids inside from 10am to 6pm. But a rain storm was perfect weather. The water would be warm and the ground would be warm so Stevie and I could play for hours.

This child has loved water from the moment he was born. This is Stevie and I right after his first birthday in Dothan, AL in the parking lot of our apartment. The parking lot was the best place to play because the asphalt stayed warm.

Now that we are in Savannah, and the weather is more comfortable, we don't go out in the rain as much. And the rain storms here aren't as gentle or warm. This last weekend, we had one heck of a storm. I have never heard thunder so loud, or seen as much lightening as this night. We had both kids in our bed and were up for about 2 hours watching the storm. The next day, it rained all day long. We had massive puddles and buckets of water everywhere! It definitely wasn't as nice of a rain as in Alabama, but Stevie enjoyed playing outside in it until he got cold.

He loved that he got to deck out in his rain gear. The coat and the umbrella were half the fun. I love that this kid is so adventurous!

Tub Time!

I love tub pictures! There is so much you can do with soapy hair!

They can be so sweet with each other!

Love it!
