It's Pool Time

It is that time of year when it is H-O-T and a dip in the pool hits the spot. Don't worry, I won't scare you with pictures of me in a bathing suit. Instead I will show you the niece and nephew in action.

Jaret on the slide.

When they were done swimming they ate some watermelon. Perfect for a warm day!

Here fishy fishy...

Well it's that time of year again, when the men get the boat ready to go to the lake. Time to put out those trot lines and catch enough catfish to feed 100's of people...or sit in the freezer until it goes bad. You can only have so many fish fry's ya know. Anyway, so far, after a couple of days they have caught about 15 catfish. They were most proud of this guy...haha!

Yes, Jaret was so excited he wanted to kiss the fish...10 year old boys are strange creatures.

Evening at the Lake

Tonight we went to the lake to celebrate Mother's Day on the Gillum side. Now this was not just any picnic...it involved Babe's chicken. Not exactly on the healthy eating plan, but you have to give in once in a while. It was fabulous, not that we expected anything less. We had a great time! It was HOT by the way! WOW! Here are a few pictures from the evening...of the nieces and nephew of course...adults are boring. HAHA!

Emma looked adorable in her hat. I just happened to catch her at the right time to get a cute picture.

Jaret and his Uncle Brady played frisbee while we waited on dinner.

Jalie and I stopped for a quick picture. I took her shopping on Wednesday and now I am suddenly her favorite person ever. HA!

The kiddos looking cute...as always! :)

Beautiful day!

It was such a beautiful day. While Brady played hockey I went to take some pictures of Jaret and Jalie for my mom. Everything is blooming and the baby animals are playful. Here are some pictures that I snapped while there.

Here is Jaret in the garden that he planted. This kid loves being outside and is capable of doing ANYTHING.


Jaret and Jalie by the rose bush...so sweet!


OR NOT...


The kittens were playing in the boots and I couldnt resist these photos...adorable.


This frog was in the pool sitting on the bottom step like a human...it was the weirdest thing. He is alive too...
