Fishing with Evan

Evan went fishing today for the first time in his life! Courtney and Sam gave him a fishing pole for his gift when he was in their wedding last spring. We finally got around to trying it out this morning. Evan helped his granddaddy rig up the spinner then they headed out to the pond. We couldn't believe that little child size spinner could catch such big catfish! Evan caught his first fish just as soon as granddaddy threw out the line. He was so excited. He caught six fish. Mama came over later and caught two fish so it's fish fry time tonight! Enjoy the slide show of Evan's first fishing experience!

Cali and Evan: The Next Morning

Breakfast time!  He's not trying to hit her...he's trying to get her to give him a high five!  It was hilarious because they never could hit each others hands!

Such a smiling face...so early in the morning!  Cali was up and having breakfast while we let her mama catch a few extra winks!

Evan and Cali have a pillow fight with their favorite sleepy time toys!

Here's our two monkeys enjoying their favorite food!

Evan was sad when Cali had to leave!

splashed each other...

got really cold...

 wrapped up in a towel...

looked at Angry Birds cakes with Kim and Heidi...

and at last fell asleep together!

Preparingfor a Marathon!

Evan came over today to help his daddy prepare for a Triathlon.  Here is one of the conversations we had with him while his daddy was swimming.

Evan wanted to swim with Jacob but the water was just too cold for him

So he climbed the ladder (with a little help from Daddy and Granddaddy) to get out of the cold pond.

He sat with Granddaddy a few minutes while he warmed up.

 Then he discovered that the water at the edge of the pond was warm so he marched around in it for awhile.

When they were through swimming, Daddy had to carry him over the rocks in the drive so he wouldn't hurt his feet.

I took one picture that I can't post.  Evan had to go potty and didn't wait for anyone to help or to go to the house!
