Asian Carp

Kevin had me watching some crazy show this weekend and the show mentioned Asian Carp, which is a type of fish.  I had never heard of them, and Kevin started telling me about them.  He was saying that they jump out of the water when your boat motor is running and how they reproduce so fast that they can take over a lake quickly.  He told me to youtube a video of them, and I was intrigued, so I did.  They are CRAZY!  Take a minute to watch this video!  You'll be entertained!

Speaking of my hubby, he put a lift and bigger tires and rims on his jeep about a week ago.  It looks more beefy... he's happy, so I'm happy!

Daddy's Nights Off Work

We love the nights Kevin has off work, for many reasons, but one that stands out is because we tend to eat lots of ice cream the nights he is home!  He makes a mean milk shake!  The kids and I love them! :)

Too busy to smile or pose for the camera.

Father's Day 2012

I had been asking Kevin for the last couple weeks how he wanted to spend his Father's Day.  He decided he wanted to go fishing.  My parents had made plans to go to Christmas Lake and cook lunch, so we decided to join them, and my brother and his family, and do some fishing. 

We got up there before anyone else did (we went to church the night before) and I'm glad we got there when we did!  The fish were biting!!!  I caught the first fish - a small bass.  Shortly after, Hayden screams, "I GOT ONE!"  He says this about every 2 minutes when we're fishing so I just looked back and was going to say "Oh yea, keep reeling it in," BUT his pole was all the way bent over and I said, "Kevin, I think he really has one!!!"  Sure enough, he did!  It was a good size one too.  Then he caught another one, just like the first one.  We think they were rock bass.  Never heard of them, but Kevin googled them and it's what they looked like.  Then Kevin caught his one and only catch of the day, a little sun fish.  Then I caught the biggest fish of the day, another bass, about 2 1/2lbs!  It was a fun Father's Day and I hope we make fishing a yearly tradition on that day!

Kevin requested strawberry pretzel salad - his favorite dessert!

Kevin's Hidden Talent

If you didn't know, Kevin is quite the welder.  He's built a lot of random things throughout the years, but his latest project was a back bumper/tire carrier/and bike rack.  He put a lot of time into researching angles and pieces and way more information about bumpers than I could ever want to know.  It all turned out pretty neat!  Here's a picture...
