Gettin Some Sun

Our church offices were closed yesterday for Memorial Day so we had a great day together. After doing some work around we headed to the pool. Wyatt loves the water and did great. He has no fear of water, which is kinda scary!

Like Father Like Son

Wyatt is like his daddy in so many ways. He looks just like Russell but also loves to talk about the Bible, boats, and fish. I am sure it is mostly because that is just what is he hears and sees. Here are a couple of pictures Russell's dad took:

Home at Last!

We spent this past week at Fellowship Week in Springfield, MO and had a great time. It was such a blessing to just be able to be at the meetings as well as talk to and share ideas with other youth pastors and pastors. We were encouraged by the time we spent with other youth pastors and their wives. 

Although we enjoyed our time there...we were ready to get home. We missed Sulphur Springs, TX...really we did!

We were also able to spend some time with our family on our way back home. Russell's dad has become quite the photographer and here are a few of the shots from our visit:

Weeee!!

Pretty Serious Stuff!

Well the last few weeks seem to have flown by! We have been pretty busy and have been taking every opportunity to enjoy the beautiful weather we have been having.
All Wyatt wants to do is go outside or play in the boat.
Here a few pictures from the other day:

Hi Mom!

Papaw Rick made these chairs for us and Wyatt and Boo seem to enjoy them too.

Don't you just wonder what they are thinking?

Boo got a booboo :(

While we were outside working on the flower beds Boo did something to his paw. We don't really know what he did, but it was bleeding and he did not want us to touch it. 

We thought it might just heal itself, but it didn't. So we had to take him to the vet today and he had to remove his nail (0r claw...whatever you call it) 

They had to sedate him and he has a little bandage....now if we could just keep Wyatt's hands away from Boo's bandage maybe it will heal! 

Our First Gardening Attempt!

So we decided to "spruce up" the flower bed in the front of our house this week. 

We really didn't have a clue about gardening, so we are just hoping these plants live!!

It was a lot of fun...I really enjoyed it. 

Wyatt even got to help...he loved just getting to play in the dirt.

Just like a little kid!

This past Saturday they had the Toyota Bass Classic fishing tournament here at Lake Fork. They had just about every professional fisherman that Russell knew here. Russell was just like a little kid, carrying his hat for all of them to sign. So that is how we spent our saturday, it was actually a lot of fun. Considering we were outside practically all day long, Wyatt loved it! We all got a little sun and Russell got to meet the legend Kevin Van Dam, along with many others. 

Russell, Wyatt, and Kevin Van Dam

We  are really starting him early on fishing!

As you can tell, he is a pretty happy boy!

The Strike King (fishing lure brand) vendors hooked Wyatt up with some free stuff! So Wyatt is sporting his new polarized Strike King fishing glasses!
