Daddy's Boat

The kids are enjoying daddy's new boat just as much as he is. He sold his boat that was given to him 2 years ago. He gutted it and fixed it up and used it for a couple years and then decided it was time for a fishing boat. His other boat was not as good for fishing. He has been out on this one a few times and is very happy with it. We were thankful his other boat sold so quick. Will loves it at home... so hopefully he will get out on the water with dad soon.

The Sun?

It was finally warm and sunny here. We were out all day for a few days at least. We are now in another cold streak. While it was sunny Will played in his sandbox a lot and Abby played on her blankets or in the bumbo. Will also played with his trucks in the dirt constantly... but what is more fun that that for a 2 year old boy?

Im glad she keeps hats on - she has VERY white skin (from her mom unfortunately)!

So content in the sandbox

Abby really loves this swing that we have on the front porch. Will spent a lot of time in it last year... now its Abby's turn.

We were thankful for those few warm days and are waiting for the warm weather to come back!

Its Officially Fishing Season...

All i can say is YEAH!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy its fishing season again. No - not really... but Josh is...anyone surprised about that? He was out in the cold water with his nice tight fishing wetsuit. I wasn't worried about any girls looking at him while he was gone :)!

Nice pose! He didn't want this on the blog.. but he knew it was inevitable.


Josh took Will down the street to our friend's pond where he knew Will would catch something right away. It was their first time fishing together. Will enjoyed it for a short time. He caught at least 4 fish right away. He didn't really want to touch them though - Josh is going to have to work with him on that one.

Aww... father/son moment!
That shadow is Abby and I - just watching the boys.

Will's first fish

Reeling it in! VERY SLOWLY!

Look Alike?

So here are a few pictures to see who Abby looks like....

Happy Abby (5 months)

Hmmm..... What do you think?

Our feisty little peanut

We went to the doctor's today for Abby's 4 month check up (yeah she is a little over 5 months). She is our little one. At this age Will weighed 19 1/2 pounds. Here are Abby's stats:
13 1/2 pounds (a little under 50%) , 26 inches long (97%). She is long, but thin. She refuses to eat rice cereal for me. I've tried every day now for about 2 weeks. The doctor told me to mix it in with some baby food now to try and get her to eat it. We'll see. - she seems to do what she wants, when she wants :). Will was so concerned for her when she got her shots : so sweet! She screamed so much after the shots, but quieted down after a while. She is in good health, so we are thankful for that! She is always moving and looking around. She hardly sits back in this baby swing anymore. I have to have both straps on at all times and she is usually sitting up leaning against the straps to see what all is going on. She now likes to wake up at 6 am :(, but at least she wakes up happy. Will sleeps in usually until about 8, so I'm asking him to teach Abby how to sleep. She loves to be in her exersaucer and the johnny jumper. Always on the move.

5 months old already!

Our little Abby girl is 5 months old. I was looking at the pictures from the day she was born and I can't believe this is her already. She is finally filling out that little body. She is still always smiling - well not when she sees new people, but with josh will and i she is as happy as can be. I am so thankful that God has blessed us with her. Here are some new pictures.... enjoy our blessing !

She loves her toes!

Happy One

She has a hold of those TOES again

And she achieved her goal.... in the mouth they went

Her serious side.

The New DO

Here is Will's new hairdo! The new look for summer maybe? He now wears his ear plugs and ear band when he bathes so that no water gets in his ears. He actually likes putting this on.
