A Photo Update

A trip to Honeycreek....Emma's favorite thing to do was jump the "lillypads(sp)."

Mommy and Emma in the hot tub!
At Emma's swim party...Colby and Bronson going off the diving boards. Notice Colby doesn't have on a life jacket. He did great jumping and swimming to the edge, but it was hard for mom and dad to watch. We spent the first 6 times right under the board in case he needed help.


A group photo...minus 2.

Colby's big catch of the day...in all he caught 9 fish. I think that's pretty good for a 7 year old all by himself. We had them for supper and even had a few pieces to spare. Notice in this picture he has a life jacket, b/c mom is a nervous wreck with him around the pond. I try to sit with him when he fishes, but I sometimes venture to the house from time to time. He is very safe...his dad has taught him well. It's so cute to see him out there fishing with a bloodhound at one side, and a Labrador pup at the other. He's a little boy with an old man's heart.

Thinking of many people tonight....keep your friends and families in your prayers.....

love the pics. Colby indeed reminds me of an old guy...can't wait to see what the future holds for him. he's going to be one of those teenagers that people talk about and say "he'd do anything for ya..."

Great pictures! I love the picture of you and Emma in the hot tub. Colby is quite the little fisherman. That takes far more patience then I have.
