Happy Mother's Day

I am so very blessed to have these two beautiful girls in my life, with one more on the way! Dear God I thank you so much for my daughters!

Melina's First Fish

Jeff took Friday off and we went fishing. We were at one of our favorite catchponds, and as luck would have it, the stocking truck pulled up. We caught many fish with the highlight of the day being Melina able to catch her FIRST fish! After an afternoon of fishing, we got our favorite pizza in Lone Pine, ate our dinner at the park, watched the girls play for a bit, and then headed to Tuttle Creek for some fishing before the sun went down. A busy and fun day!!

"Baby"

A friend of mine due to have her baby any day came over one afternoon. I touched her stomach and told Melina that she had a baby in her tummy. Melina was pretty uninterested and went on with her play. A few days later, my mom and dad watched both girls while Jeff and I ran some errands. When we picked them up, mom and dad told the story of Melina going up to my dad, patting his belly, and saying "BABY?"
