Catchin' fish!!

A couple of weeks ago we decided we all needed to get out of the house and enjoy the nice weather, so we took the kids fishing! We had a great time! Porter caught 3 and Brylee and Aspen each caught 2. The girls both have princess poles, but we didn't have a pole for Porter, and we didn't think he would have much if an attention span so it wouldn't matter, boy were we wrong!! He fished the whole time by himself, Brian would cast it out and turn around to help the girls and next thing we knew he would have a fish on. The girls loved it to, as long as they didn't have to touch the fish! We had a great time and were there for hours. But, I think we created a monster, Porter asks every morning when he wakes up "we go fishing?" as soon as Brian walks in the door from work "we go fishing?". We were in Wal-mart and we walked by the fishing poles and he ran over and grabbed one and would not let it go. So, now he sleeps with it and carries it all around the house. He has gotten really good at casting and hitting his sisters with it. I think we have a new favorite pasttime.

All that really matters!

Aspen loves writing us little notes. Sometimes we will get multiple ones in one night! She left this one for me the other night in my bathroom. How simple and true! She is such a sweetheart and I am so grateful for the reminders of what really matters. I am so proud of all that she is learning in Kindergarten! She has been a fast learner and will read books to Brylee at night in their room. She sounds the words out on every sign we see or on containers of food. She caught me off guard the other day when I was giving her some Motrin for an ear infection and she said "Did you give me Motrin" I never call it Motrin I just call it medicine, she was reading the bottle, I am amazed at the things she can read. I love my Asperino! She is a wonderful daughter and big sister!! And for right now, SHE LOVES ME---we will see if that changes when she is a teenager!!!
