Gone fishin'

Spencer had his first fishing outing last weekend and LOVED it. Micah took him 'shopping' for his first fishing pole and as you can see it is the coolest! They didn't catch anything but had a lot of fun anyway. Here are some photos of the fishermen:

Of course I don't have any of Mason fishing (yet) so here is a photo of him with his favorite teether - a plastic hot dog - which looks like a baby cigar! The other is of him pulling up to watch TV. He now knows how to turn the TV on and off and on and off and ... you get the picture.

Moving

That's it...we're moving. Yesterday it was 83 degrees, today it is snowing. I can't handle it! I should be working for the Weather Channel and getting paid to talk about the SD weather this much!

Okay, freakout over.

We're not really moving.

April showers bring...worms!

"Me no like worms" or so Spencer says. (Insert Spencer going to Cabella's with Micah recently and asking to revisit the worms 5 times). But it's finally been rainy which has given the boys a chance to go outside and play in the rain...and of course hunt for worms. It took us awhile but we found quite a few. Don't worry squeamish readers, I am not posting any worm photos, just a few of the boys in their 'rain gear.' We had a lot of fun and got really muddy. When it was time to come inside we were locked out...uh-oh! Thankfully Spencer knows how to open the porch door so we boosted him inside a window into the enclosed porch and had him open the door. So the moral of the story is: we think Spencer secretly does like worms and just isn't ready for the world to know it yet. We'll keep you posted.

Not one, not two, but three!

That's right, three. Three blizzards in less than two weeks - crazy right? We thought Spring was on it's way but it is taking longer than expected. After lots of frustration from the start of the third blizzard yesterday (Micah getting stuck on the freeway, having to rescue him, etc) we decided to make the best of it today and go out and play in the snow with the boys. We went sledding...Mason loved it, Spence preferred to run up and down the hill. We finally had success at making a snowman (previously Spencer would kick them down before we could complete them). But now we are really ready for the snow to leave and we will be super happy if we don't see it again for another 6 months or so. Here is a photo of Mason's first sledding experience:
