Fishing Story

I know I need to be better about taking my camera everywhere we go and taking more pictures BUT with 4 kiddos I have a hard time remembering it along with everything else!!
Yesterday we took the kids fishing (minus Lainee, she stayed with my parents). Carlee Jo caught her 1st fish and it was too funny how she reacted!! I was watching her line and I could see a fish fixing to bite her bait. I said "Carlee Jo I think your fixing to get a bite" Carlee Jo, "NO! I don't want to catch a fish" About that time the fish took her bait....I said "Carlee Jo you got one...real it in!" She FREAKED out, dropped her pole and took off running to the truck! LOL I was laughing so hard I couldn't pick her pole up! Clayton ran over and realed it in for her and she caught a BIG BASS. I couldn't believe that it didn't break her little barbie poll. She didn't want to look at it or touch it! BUT she did make sure she rubbed it in to her brothers that she caught the 1st fish!!
We ended up fishing about 3 hours and caught 20 bass....so guess what we will be eating next weekend when Dylan comes back!! Mmmmm...I'm looking forward to it!!

Lainee

In exactly 25 days my day girl will be 1 year old! I can't believe this year has gone by so fast! An update on her... She weights 17 lbs & 8 oz and she's 28 inches long. She's so much smaller than my other babies. She has 3 teeth, 1 on the bottom on 2 on top. She cut the 1st one on the bottom then the 2nd on top (on the left side). She's been walking now for about 3 months, which made me very sad cause I wanted her to stay a baby as long as possible. She's wearing a size 6 months clothes and a size 2 diapher. She can say anything she wants to say but doesn't really talk much, (hard to get a word in with the others LOL). She's a very good baby, sleeps all night, pretty much only cries when she's hungry or tired, LOVES to sing and dance! I LOVE the fact that she still wants to be rocked when it's time to go to sleep, I charish these moments because I know she won't want it forever and she IS my last baby! I can say from experience with my other babies they grow up TOO fast!! I have included some recent pictures I just took of her on Friday at Carlee Jo's program....

In her car seat ready to go

She was asleep when we got there....so I put a bow in her hair (she normally won't wear one)

She doesn't realize she has a bow in her hair!

Watching Carlee Jo perform

I thank GOD everyday for blessing our family with Lainee. As I do my other children! I love them soooo much and they are all VERY special to Clayton and I!!

Carlee Jo

Carlee Jo had her very first program on Friday for Rainbow School. She really enjoyed it!! She thought everything had to be just right...Thursday night I rolled her hair in sponge rollers (I know child abuse but she begged me to do it), Friday morning while I was taking the rollers out her hands and feet were soaking for her manicure and pedicure. She kept telling me how glad she was her Mom was a hairdresser so she could have these things done! Little does she know I would do them anyways! Did I mention that we HAD to go buy a new dress too?? GIRLS!! Here are some of the pictures I took....

All dressed up and ready


She is a poser!


Have to show the peace sign


Walking in...soooo serious

Looking a little nervous



There's a smile...she's ready now!

Saying the Pledge

Dancing to one of the songs...

Singing her little heart out

She got a certificate that says she's moving up...

Carlee Jo and her Poppa Gaylon (Clayton's dad)

She had to take one more picture!


Thank you Mrs. Cindy and Mrs. Linda for making our first year of "school" so wonderful!! Carlee Jo will be going to pre-school next year...we haven't made a decision where and how many days a week. She will for sure be going back to the Rainbow School on Fridays. I'm not ready for her to be so big! But I am thankful I had her in Sept. so I can keep her home 1 more year!! She is soooo ready for Kindergarden!
