Fishing!

The month of May has given us some beautiful sunny days (along with some rain and even snow - but that is another post)! We took advantage of a beautiful day and hit the Madison River with the family and the Pauls.  We had a great first float trip of the season.  Jeni managed to miss more fish than she wants to admit.  Buck even missed a few, but he also got a few to the boat.  Hyat had a blast casting his Lighting McQueen rod off the back of the boat and Embrie served as Captain.  Adding to the entertainment was watching Karly and Weston try to corral a climbing Hazen to their boat - at 17 months he still doesn't grasp how un-enjoyable it would be to take a swim in the Madison in May!

Hyat netted Buck's first fish to the boat!

Getting ready to hold it!

Look at that! Great catch boys!

Embrie is evaluating if she is going to hold it or not...

Embrie deciding she just wanted to touch him, not hold him!

Sweet girl enjoying the river and the sun!

Happy boy - loves being outside, on the boat, and fishing!

Hazen and Weston - this probably the only time Hazen held still,
so he could show us his nose... No he is not picking!

And the ever entertaining Karley!

We had a great morning on the water.  After fishing, we headed home and got ready for Hyat's soccer game.  We had to wake Embrie up from her nap, which made for a cuddle-bug during Hyat's game.  Then from Hyat's game we headed to our friends (and mentors) Eric and Lisa for Eric's 50th Birthday Party.  We had a great time and the kids loved it.  It was a BUSY day - or, as Hyat would say, a "zoom-by day"!  We had a great time and the kids did awesome considering it was busy, full of sunshine and activity and a late bed time! We are thankful for good friends, sunny days and beautiful country!
