Fishing Buddies

A couple weeks back Brennan got to go fishing for the very first time!

First things first, though. Papaw had to give Brennan some lessons on how to cast. Brennan was very dedicated, he practiced almost every day after his first lesson.




DAY ONE
Ready to fish!




This was one of the very few 3 minute spurts that Brennan was still and fishing.


The rest of the time, I got to fish and he more interested in treasure hunting, throwing rocks, playing in the water, or just being goofy.


DAY TWO
No fish yesterday, so we're all ready to try again today.




Back to exploring.


We moved to the other side of the lake.

Brennan was oblivious to the steep bank. I think Nana and I both have a few more gray hairs. Next time I think we might tie him to a chair. Ha ha.


This face: "Mom, this is taking forever. The fish are all on vacation! Can we go now? This is taking forever! I want to go back to the truck."


Checking out Papaw's tackle box.


Finally, a bite!


The catch of the day!


I think the wait was worth it. :)

A Message For Nana

Brennan had something he had to say today.

I couldn't have said it better myself.  Happy Birthday Mom!

A Trip Down Memory Lane

I thought the best way to start out the new blog would be by sharing some photos from Brennan's first days until now.

You know, some of the same pictures I used to send out in mass emails.

I have taken so many pictures over the course of the last year and a half, it was hard to narrow it down to just a few. It was amazing going back though all my old photos. It's still unbelievable how much Brennan has changed in such a short amount of time. He's turning into such a big boy now, walking around and saying a few words, it's hard to believe that a year ago he was sitting in his Bumbo seat and eating rice cereal for the first time.

Here are some of my favorites.
