Fish Hatchery

A couple of weeks ago we took the boys to a fish hatchery in Ogden. This was the first time that they have gone fishing and the first time that they caught their own fish. They had a lot of fun though. Neither of them wanted to touch the fish when they caught them. I guess that is what dad and grandpa roger were for. The boys caught 4 fist each. (it did not take much to catch any fish. they were swarming around in hundreds see below) Anyway it was a fun time to spend the afternoon.the boys scoping out the best fishing spot

Kode studying the fishing poles. Trying to figure out which one would be the best one

Bry said this fishing pole is going to be the one that gets him the biggest fish!!

On our way to the best fishing spot!

There were 5 different ponds to fish from and each of them were plumb full like this one

Kode caught his first fish

Grandpa Roger helping Bry fish. He would throw food into the water for the fish to eat and Bry would catch one. It was a great way to fish.

Thanks Mom and Roger for taking us to this fish hatchery. The boys had a great time!

mini air planes

Ever since Koda asked to have an army room he wanted air planes to hang from the ceiling. So one day Shawn and I were at the store and came across some cool mini air planes that we thought would be cool to hang in his room. So we purchased a few of them. Shawn came home tied each one with some fishing line and hung them up throughout his room. Its pretty cool and now his room is complete.

(sorry the pictures of the planes are not the greatest!)

no more goat!!

the other day shawn decided to trim his goat. (as for me i was surprised and i really like the new look) shawn has taken on a new position at work (a management position) and he decided that he should trim up.

I think he looks GOOD!!

i think he looks lots younger!!

handsome feller he is!!

First Day of School!!

Summer is officially over cause today the boys went back to school today! Wow where did the summer go, it went by so fast!

I was a little worried about the boys getting up for school today. (Since they have been staying up late most of the summer and then sleeping in until 9:30-10:00) But they did great about getting up and getting themselves ready for school. (I think they both are very excited for school.) Then they were on their way down for some breakfast. I asked them if I could take a few pictures of them for their first day of school. They did great and then that is when Bry lost it. He got very emotional. (he said he was worried about something happening at the house while he was gone, and then he said that he was worried about the dogs, and he was worried about not having any friends) He cried through breakfast, all the way down to the school, into the building and into the classroom. (this is so not like Bry) Once he saw some of his class mates he wiped his tears and was just fine. (his teacher said he had a great day) I am not sure what all that was about but the day was a great one!

Bry all ready for 2nd grade!!

Kode ready for 4th grade. He had a great day. He jumped out of the car when we got to the school and said "this is going to be a great day" and it was. His teacher said that he had a great day and she is so excited to have him in her class.

I am so excited for this year. Its going to be a great year!!
