New Things

I don't like fish. I really don't! However, McKayla seems to thing that fishing as a family is fun. So, we all have fishing poles and licences to fish. Granted, we know nothing about fish. We don't ever know what one to eat and what ones to throw away. Yea, it's bad. I never think of these things until we need them, so soon I will be buying a fishing for dummies book. Anyway, we we went fishing today and I caught a fish. I was the only who caught a fish. We brought it home and I gutted it and fried it up. It was pretty good. I am very proud of myself. I tried new things.

Hey Batter Batter

Yesterday was McKayla's first practice for t-ball. I took some pictures of her. She did pretty well. She didn't sit down and paid pretty close attention for an hour. What a big girl she is becoming.

Ouch

My poor youngest daughter is going to be the one that gives me grey hair. Yesterday I was mopping our kitchen. She came in and slipped on the tile. I didn't think much of it, until Chad said she was bleeding. When she fell she hit a screw that was where the tile met carpet. It sliced her head open. I was wondering about the ER. It was bleeding a lot, as head wounds do. We had to hold her down while Chad put pressure on on the wound. It looked better pretty soon. Then the rest of the night we watched her eyes for a concussion. We never saw any signs of it, so I am grateful for that. Chad gave her a blessing, just in case. McKayla was so very worried for her sister. She kept asking if Ariana was okay. She checked her head first thing this morning and gave her a kiss to make it better.

Bike

Check out my bike. Yes it is very pink, but it was on sale and that is all that matters. And I now have a helmet because McKayla informed me that I wasn't being safe.

Summer

Okay, pic of the bike will be on here tomorrow!

Look at my pretty tree! I love when it blossoms. I want to get the girls pictures in front of it.

Here is a close up.

Bike

My last bike was bought for me by my parents when I was in high school. The brakes no longer worked, and gears wouldn't shift and the handle bars were crooked from a crash a few years back. So, I started looking for a bike. I didn't realize how expensive those things can be. Are you kidding me. I won't discuss the price for the top of the line. The cheapest bike was at least $200. Gulp! I also wanted a really cute style that was closer to $500. Then i had an idea. I'm short (duh). I can buy a girls bike. I don't really need gears and I can get a way cheaper bike. So, that's what I did. However, it is pink and has a bell. McKayla loves it. She said that it is a good bike because it matches her bike. Also, when she gets older, she will ride it. I think I have a good 10 years with it before she will take it over.
