Happy Anniversary!

to Dayna and Shane!  I thought I'd at least post it on here since I seem to be VERY bad at remembering before the day of for anything lately.  Have a great day together... don't let the girls rule the roost too much. ;)

Now time to get ready for work!

Good times and laughs...

Lisa and Kit both came to eat dinner with us tonight.  I'm becoming quite the hostess, and I'm even learning how to cook well!  The food was so good, I forgot to take a picture of it, but I made a pot roast in the crock pot with potatoes, carrots, celery, and peppers.  Here's what I made for dessert:It's a Peach Cornmeal Cobbler.  I found the recipe in a magazine awhile back and decided it looked and sounded really really good... and I was right!  Yes, that's right, I even wove the dough on top.  :)  I can be creative sometimes!

Lisa and Kit were here for a good 4 hours or so, and right as we were finishing dessert, we heard a knock on our door.  Jason got up, looked through the peep hole and said "oh, it's the Mormons!"  Then he proceeded to open the door.

Just like Jason said, it was two missionaries... and they greeted us by saying "yes, as you announced, the Mormons are here!"  HAHAHA... I've NEVER heard a missionary say that, it was actually pretty funny... because usually they're pretty proper when first meeting and greeting people door to door, but I think Jason's statement caught them off guard and they didn't know what they were going to say when he opened the door.  After talking to them a little bit, we went back to our 4 person conversation, just joking about Jason's OH IT'S THE MORMONS statement... because really, it was kind of funny... I don't know, maybe you had to be there.

(And for those of you that are my Mormon friends, I hope you take no offense to this... we were making fun of Jason's comment more than anything, and I respect all of you guys quite a bit, or I wouldn't read your blogs!) ;)

Fishing in Tennessee

For some reason the only pictures I took in Tennessee (besides the house pictures) were pictures when we went fishing... I guess the rest of the trip was more about business than fun.  Here's Jason with his boat, after we put the two pedestal seats on it.
The other side of the boat.
Jason restringing his line... I think this was one of the times after he got it caught in the tree... that's what happens when you fish in the dark!  But hey, the boat floats!
Finally fishing...
Oh look!  I fish sometimes too!  And I'm wearing camo. ;)
Jason bringing the boat in... it's a good boat, we like it.
That trip was when just Jason and I went fishing.  These next pictures are when we took Brooklyn fishing because she kept saying "I want to go fishing" when Jason and I were up at their house, so finally Jason said "do you want to go tomorrow" and she said "yes" almost in disbelief.  Brooklyn really liked going fast, especially because it was hot and she had to wear that dumb life jacket because she's under 12.
Jason's first bass he caught.
Jason explaining to Brooklyn how to reel in the line... he's such a good big brother!
Going fast again...
That same night, Jason took Brooklyn catfishing with another friend of his.  I didn't go along, but Jason took some pictures of the happenings that night.  Brooklyn showing off the bluegill they caught for bait.
Keith is holding Brooklyn so she wouldn't fall off the boat with such a huge fish for her size.  She was grinning ear to ear from excitement at catching big fish!
Showing off another fish...

It was a fun trip.  I'm really glad Brooklyn had so much fun because that was our goal.  Jason said she was wide awake all night long, looking for jugs that the catfish had taken, and then making sure to get more bluegill for bait.  She LOVES fishing, and I'm sure will go on many more fishing trips with Jason and me.
