Weekend Fun...Minus the Fish





If any of you know Stephen, you know that he LOVES TO FISH...and by love, I mean the real, true kind of love - like the love someone has for their wife for instance. Except more.


Our last two weekends have been filled with lots of fishing and zero catching. Unfortunately, my dear husband has been absolutely unable to snag one of those slippery buggars. He claims someone has placed a curse on him. Now why would anyone ever do something so mean and evil?? (haha hehe hoohoo).

Anyway, although we haven't been successful in our fishing efforts, we have had a great time on the boat. Last weekend, we went to Lake Sonoma with our close friends Mark, Damariz, and their two-year-old boy Marky. Here's Marky expressing his deepest regrets for having to wear his life jacket. Poor lad. 



He did eventually get over it and was happy to help "Uncle Steeb" drive the boat, as you can see here:



On our camping trip to Lake Sonoma, Syd loved being outside and was content all weekend long. Her nickname being "Squid" and all, we naturally can assume she will like all things having to do with water. She especially loved being on the boat. This is her "letting the wind blow through her hair".




For some reason, though, Squid had a strong change of feelings about the boat this weekend. Stephen and I went to Lake Del Valle in Livermore yesterday and she screamed 80% of the time. WOW does sound carry when you're on a boat in the middle of a lake! I say "for some reason", but in all reality I know it was a result of us waking her up two hours earlier than she is used to waking up. So, Daddy...we might just have to be okay with letting those famous early morning fishies get away from us from now on. Sorry babe!


***Special thanks to Amy Miraflor for teaching me how to position my pictures correctly - they look so much better now!***



p.s. The picture at the top of this post is actually of a fish I caught a while back - cute, huh?!

  1. hahaha this made me laugh. Love it. I already told you on fb about our lake sonoma days. And I love Syd's wind blowing through the hair look, and I love little marky's face! ha!

    Ok, pictures. It is possible my dear. Very. Here you go:

    1) Go to your dashboard.
    2) click on settings
    3) make sure you are under basic settings
    4) scroll down to global settings
    5) Locate select post editor
    6) make sure you have updated editor marked

    you will notice a HUGE difference. You can upload gobs a pictures at once and then when you want to insert a picture, click on the picture icon and make sure your cursor is blinking where you want the pic and then wah lah...picture inserted. And you can even choose size. Mine are x-large of course. :)

    And then call me if that doesn't work. hehe.

    xoxo

  2. I can only imagine Sydney's horror at being awakened so much earlier than she's used to. She seems more of a night owl ( sorry mom ) but it's true! Her energy levels just keep going and going..
