Here are pictures from Thursday. We met Jessica in Russellville and spent the day with her. We started out at Hobby Lobby, which is always fun. Then, after eating at Dairy Queen, we bought a kite and some bubbles and took Izabell to the field across from Whatta-Burger for some fun. Then we drove out the park at the Lock and Dam and let Izabell play some more. She found new friends and had a great time.

Spring Break- DAY THREE

Yesterday we had a great day helping cook chicken at church. (And cleaning up unexpected messes.) There were no pictures so I didn't bother to blog.
Today we visited with my brother and nephew for a bit and then went to Wal-Mart. When we got home we painted the bird feeders that we had last year. They sat in the weather all winter and were not looking pretty at all. But now they do. We made cookies and visited with the neighbors. Nothing spectacular, but it was a nice day.

Spring Break-DAY ONE

Today is the first day of our Spring Break. We have had quite a wonderful day. First, I woke up early and did some bible study until Izabell woke up. We had breakfast and I did a bit of cleaning. Then Izabell had a "bubble festival" outside in her nightgown and new church shoes. After I cleaned a bit more, we went to the ball field and flew a kite. I haven't done that since I was little. I don't remember liking it so much, but it's a lot more fun with Izabell. Then we came home, ate lunch, shampooed the carpet and took a nap.
What a wonderful day.

Fishin'

Ben took me and Izabell fishing the other day. I was very impressed with her skills. She cast all by herself (much better than I do) and caught six crappie and one bass. The next day we went back and she caught her own minnows and even held a fish by the mouth and released it back into the pond.
I am also impressed with my own ability to bait my hook and take the fish off the hook. I have never been able to do this before, but tried to get over it and show my daughter what a big girl I am. I did well. Can't wait to do it again.
