"A bad day fishing is still better than a good day at the office."

We ate our last fish at the family bbq on Mothers day. We headed up to Rock Port Wednesday morning hoping to get lots of fish but left empty handed. We couldn't have asked for a better day though! We spent the day as a family with the in laws, enjoyed the sun, and MJ had a blast being on a boat for her first time! She is getting more and more independent, she kept pushing my hand away not wanting me to hold on to her life jacket.
High of the trip: Being with my family on such a gorgeous day
Low of the trip: MJ tossing my sunglasses in the lake...

Rather then being upset about wearing a life jacket
she thought it was pretty funny and danced around

 a taaaad bit uncomfortable sitting in that thing

 worms and flavored marshmallows were the choice of fish bate

 so relaxing, and such a natural on the boat

 Dad teaching MJ how to fish

 She thought it was pretty awesome to drive the boat

 Cutest. Face. Ever. 

 Following Grandpa back up to the cars

 curly blonde hair!

 her new way of giving kisses..

 Picking up every pinecone she could find
It's a very serious job as you can tell.

Mothers day fun

Best mothers day ever! Can I just start off by saying how awesome my family is and how I love getting together with them. We got together for a bbq together, ate amazing food, home made ice cream, and had relay races. 

This girl has the best cheeser I love it.

            These two girls love their little cousin, and MJ certainly loves them

 blowing kisses!

 haha the teens are too cool for the rest of us

  All of the moms stretching before our contest of
who can still do the splits...yeah definitely
the little kids idea

 And I totally won! can't really see me but boo yah I won a piece of
salt water taffy from Caleb for winning

 faker *crying*

 and 2 seconds later smiling with Lindsey

 yeah she melts my heart

 and the relay races begin! 

 Such a fun night, love my mom and sisters (miss ya B! hope you
had a wonderful mothers day too!)

lions and tigers and bears oh my!

Couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day being at the zoo with Ryan, Rachel and her boyfriend :-)

fun filled weekend

We enjoyed a beautiful day out at the Red Butte Gardens, Mary wanted to smell every flower and play in all of the fountains.

                                                   Smelling the pretty flowers!

                                     picture taken right before she ripped this poor lilac apart

     Little stinker wouldn't give me a smile, she was ticked at me for taking her away from the lilacs.

                                     Such cute fountains, there was another one but with a lizard.

              She is quick! I take a couple of pictures and she runs away wanting to go up the stairs

     Eating berry smoothies, rocking on what was my rocking horse as a babe while I do laundry
