Spring Break 2009

Spring Break this year, the boys went camping with their Papaw Knight! Jordan's turn was Monday-Wednesday, Justin's turn was Wednesday-Friday. Friday, Brad, my mom, the kids' cousin Katelyn, Jacob, Jordan and I joined Justin and my dad at Lincoln to camp overnight. We had a wonderful time but we could have had better weather. Friday we took the kids fishing and they played from sun up to sun down! Saturday it rained pretty much all day but we made the most of it! We made a fire in the fireplace under a shelter house. My sister and her husband joined us around noon and they brought a portable dvd player and the kids watched movies and we played games. We made smores and roasted hot dogs in the fireplace. The rain cleared for a while and the kids enjoyed themselves on the playground getting muddy! A tornado warning was issued so we packed up and everyone came to my house for chili supper. My dad stayed behind to make sure the camper was alright. Jacob got his turn to spend time with papaw today and will come home tomorrow since he is not in school yet! We had a wonderful time spending Spring Break camping!

Jordan: caught 4 fish with papaw on Monday and Tuesday, got the dirtiest of all three boys all week, fell into the lake while fishing on the dock but caught a bass!

Jacob: loved being out in his element, got pretty dirty and surprised me by not being the dirtiest all week, caught a fish on Friday with papaw, mamaw, mom and dad and got a 3 lb bass today with papaw!

A few weeks ago, my dad and I took Jacob and my nephew Justin fishing at our cousins lake in Richland. It was an interesting but fun time to say the least. We ventured out with two fishing poles and some chicken livers! The kids were excited and anxious to catch some fish. My dad got their poles set up and the fishing experience began. We started on one side of the lake and there was no action there at all. So we packed the poles and nasty chicken livers and walked to the other side. Bingo!! Within a few minutes, Jacob's pole began to bend. Where's Jacob? Oh he's peeing on a tree somewhere! He got there just in time to see the fish lying on the grass. Papaw picked the fish up for a photo op but Jacob was not having any part of that. Now here's where it gets tricky....two boys have to do "#2". So my dad decides to take a bucket and walk them to a remote location to do their duty. He comes back and wouldn't you know it, false alarm. Between all the peeing on trees and other bathroom needs, it's a miracle we got any fishing done! The day was a blast but I wish Jordan could have been with us but he was in school. There is nothing like having little boys in your life, everyday is an adventure, a journey!
