Spending Time with Daddy


McCoy got it in his head that he just had to buy daddy a fishing pole for his birthday and Fathers day so we got Glade a pole and one for McCoy so they could go together. We got the present a week and half before Glades birthday and McCoy had to keep it a secret till then. It was his first secret and he was so excited to have secret information. I am so impressed that he kept it the whole time and never told.


So on Glades Birthday we went to one of the ponds in our neighborhood to fish. We didn't catch anything but pond scum LOL, but we had such a relaxing and fun time anyway. McCoy even kept his pond scum and put it in his tackle box. He said he was keeping a collection of disgusting stuff. (You must know, one of his favorites shows is Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe).


On Fathers Day we took a little trip to the beach and spent the day soaking up the sun and just playing in the water and sand. Ever since swim lessons McCoy has turned into a fish and loves to be in the water. He is doing so well with his swim lessons and his swim instructor has really brought him a long way. He never use to like to get his head wet and was so hesitant to be in the deep end of the pool and to get in past his ankles in the ocean but now we can't ikeep him out of the water. We love it! He has a few more lessons before he can take off by himself but we are just so proud of how far he has come. P.S Like the Sand Castle? We spent about an hour collecting and washing shells to put on it. We are such nerds but we had such a fun family day. I love the beach. Can't wait to go to Miami! Wahoo!

Thanks Grandma!!!


McCoy's latest infatuation is with the Ninja Turtles. It started a few months ago when Glade found a little turtle action figure and gave it to McCoy. McCoy had never even seen or heard of them but loved the fact that it was something Daddy use to love when he was little. Then McCoy found the DVD's of the cartoon at the library and started renting them and can't get enough. We have not however been able to find toys or anything TMNT. Well he got a package in the mail over the weekend and he is STOKED! Grandma to the RESCUE! Thank you so much for finding and sending him that Turtle. He absolutely loves it! And I love my Scentsy stuff too by the way! I was needing some new scents too. That Beach scent is perfect for summer!

And the pictures below are of McCoy playing Ninja Turtles and of course you can't pretend to be a turtle without a shell so I had to make something up real quick. Don't laugh, it was all I had. ;-)

Here Comes Hurrican Season...

Today is the offical first Day of hurrican season. Time to get our supplies and food storage in order. Does anyone know of a good website to get information on food storage. I am really looking for info on how long specific foods lasts, and good food storage recipes. We have a small supply built up but it needs a lot of work. As I quickly found out last year...I stocked our food storage with crap we really didnt want to eat when it came around time to rotate it. LOL. So I want to do better this year. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much...
