Reagan, my sister-in-law sent me pictures of Easton, my nephew, and I cannot tell you how much these brighten my day! When I was in Uvalde we were all playing and my brother casually asked Easton what color the car was in his hand and he said "ellow" and it was indeed yellow. Well we all cheered and clapped for him and he was slightly startled at first but then kept saying it over and over loving all the praise he was getting and had the absolute cutest look on his face. Well, my mom told me that he still points to yellow things and says "ellow" but the cheers aren't quite what he was getting that first time so he says "where Aunt Kyley?" LOVE HIM!

Here are some pics she sent me, my favorite is the second one!

So, I'm not sure if I mentioned that Chad bought a boat about a month ago so I'm mentioning it now. The thing about Chad is that if he gets something on his mind he will not rest until he gets what he wants. This usually results in me walking out to see a new Harley sitting in the driveway or a new TV in the living room, this time it was a boat. Don't get me wrong Chad does not go out and blow a bunch of money all the time and I do believe once we get married this will have to calm down some but sometimes he gets so caught up that he forgets to include me.

Well anyway, Chad and I both had discussed getting a boat for fishing on. We didn't need anything fancy, just something that we could scoot around the lake and the rivers in. Well guess what showed up in my driveway but a little jon boat. Well Chad has fiddled with that dang boat for about a month now and it's working out pretty well. We took it out for it's maiden voyage last weekend and had a great time even though Chad only caught one fish and I caught a whole lotta nothing. We even had fun despite the fact that the pull cord came completely out of the engine and Chad had to rig it (believe me I was ready to jump ship and swim back to shore when that happened).

Well Saturday I found myself itching to go back. I was really surprised at myself about how much I wanted to go. My mom had let me have my dad's fishing rod and reel so I felt so proud and excited to use it for something my dad really enjoyed doing. It kind of made me feel like he was there with us. Well after much patience, I caught a fish! I ended the day with two perch and two broke lines that both came from nice sized catfish. I only wish those had ended better... All in all it was a great day! That is until the engine broke again....
