Me and the fish hunters

I am very blessed to have two brothers who adore my kids.  And spoil them.  And love them too pieces.  That being said, my youngest brother, Uncle Bubba, is the fisherman of the family and bless his heart goes whenever the tractor isn’t calling. 

My girls have been after Uncle Bubba for AWHILE to take them fishing….and since the girls asked they got it!!!  Uncle Bubba got the boat and their Daddy got them fishing poles-pink ones-too cute!!  LIl’ Bubba, aka Whitman, also got him a fishing rod…a little green one that was too sweet!  We got our bait, drinks, ice, and we were ready to board the boat.  I was equally excited because I hadn’t been out on the Gulf in along time.

It was a ReEL fun afternoon!  Uncle Bubba took us to all kinds of trout holes.  The kids were “reel” excited to each catch their own fish!  Whitman was a little on the skittish side of the fish once they were in the boat.  But he was all about catching them.  He was too funny!!

It was a great trip with lots of great memories.  We can’t wait for many more memories Uncle Bubba and Daddy put together!!

“Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.”  Matthew 4:19

Fourth FUN

Granny and her babies in the Cedar Key 4th Golf Cart Parade

What fun we had on the fourth this year!  LOTS and LOTS of FUN!!  We started our day out with the golf cart parade around the island of Cedar Key…we’ve been participating in this for years…and the kids really enjoy it…OK, OK, so do the adults!!

We loved our golf cart this year that Daddy got us!  It was perfect for everyone to ride on!  She was nick-named “the limo” by all the kids!!

Another fun thing we did for the fourth was spend time with cousins!  Aunt Sarah had us all over to her house for some “4th cupcake decorating” fun!!

Our family is very grateful for the men and women who have served and continue to serve our country, fighting for our freedom.  I know the 4th is to celebrate our country’s freedom but let us not forget the greatest freedom that ever was…….our freedom from sin. 

Hope your 4th was as special and memorable as ours!

Real Quick – Where We’ve Been

 Cora Jane, Whitman, and Vera Kate

Things have been kinda crazy around here since we got back from Disney this week.  We were so blessed to be able to attend a Farm Bureau Young Farmer’s conference at one of Disney’s resorts.  Part of the time we were in sessions and the other part we were enjoying the parks.

Cory and I got to see Epcot with friends one night..without kids!!  WOW, was that fun.  Before we left the conference, my parents brought the kids to WDW and us so we could take them to the park.  All and all it was a great trip and I can’t wait to share ALL the details with you.  But for now there is laundry backed up a mile long, homework coming out my ears, and well the day to day ways of life are piling up on me.  Sorry blog your gonna have to wait…..the children and dirty household are calling my name!

God is good……..ALL the time,
