Another day of fishing!

Today we went to Lone Pine Nursery for free fishing day! They had prizes, food, music and of course fishing! They stocked their pond with 1,000 fish.


Mason and Taylor were the first ones to reel in their fish.


I actually caught a fish, which Alyssa helped me reel in.


Alyssa and daddy. Look at his shirt, that is fish blood all over it!


We caught a total of 6 fish. The limit was two fish per kid.


Mom and the kids with our fish!


They had a grand prize for whoever could catch the biggest fish. Taylor caught this 19 inch fish just five minutes too late, he would have got 2nd place, but they gave him a prize worth $50 anyways so he was really excited! Mason and Alyssa also won prizes, Mason won a fishing pole and a pizza and Alyssa won some free ice cream and Craigo's food. It was such a fun day, we will have to do this again next year!

Little League Night

We took the kids and Dylan to the Chukars baseball game. We got there and there were so many people there we didn't sit in the stands. We ended up sitting at the tables by first base, which ended up being the best seats for the kids. The first thing we saw when we got there was a foul ball smashing in a car's back window!




The kids would lean over the fence and when the players were going to warm up they would give the kids high fives! They thought that was the best thing ever!


They brought their mitts to catch foul balls and they ended up having the mascot and some of the players sign them. Dylan didn't have his mitt so they just signed his arm instead, I don't think he has washed his arm since then!


At the end of the game they let the kids run around the bases. The kids had so much fun at this game, it was a little league night so tons of kids were there and they had a blast!

A Sunday evening at the Greenbelt

We decided to go feed the ducks by the river, it was nice to get out and walk around for a while. We made it all the way around before it started to rain!




Taylor feeding the ducks.


Notice the guy with the big camera lens to the side of us!


Lysa and Tay, being cute as always!


Mason did his best to try to stay out all of the pictures, so we had to trick him to actually get him in a few of them. Lance hiked down to the bottom where the rocks were to get this picture with him in it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LANCE!

Lance had his 37th Birthday today, but we celebrated on Saturday with family and friends as the boys had their baseball tournament today. Lance has been carrying around a blue backpack full of tapes that he has had forever and we didn't have a tape player so for his birthday the kids and I found a tape player after much searching. The Moffat's even gave him some 80's tape holders for all of his tapes so he wouldn't have to use his backpack any more!


Okay, so this cake was supposed to be more like an 80's type theme cake, but instead it looked like a little girls cake so I had to "man it up" with some fish!

Wow, you get the full effect when the lights are off! Yes, there are 37 candles on that cake!

With that many candles (that kept relighting by themselves) there is sure to be a lot of smoke! I didn't think that part through when I thought I was being funny with the trick candles! We are surprised the smoke alarm didn't go off.


Apparently Lance's friends think that he stinks or that he is very girly and needs some body wash and a lot of loofah's!


This present is from Doug and Katie, which Lance loved by the way! This is all that he has on his mind lately, SHEEP. He drew for the big horn sheep hunt in October. Every day all I hear is sheep this and sheep that. He even has his signature on his phone as "sheep boy." He is very excited for the upcoming hunt!


This is my favorite part of the shirt!
