MY LIFE WITH BOYS!









WOW! My life has taken a turn for...boys. In the last year, we have added three permanent boys to the family and two boy friends. I must say that it is quite fun! And these people of the male persuasion are...different... from girls. One of the favorite activities for our
boys is fishing. Allen and the "little" boys love fishing by our house. They would spend all day every day down there if they could. Fishing is pretty much nonstop when we are at "the cabin". They are fascinated with it! One morning, the boys went for an early morning fishing excursion. I walked out the door to see them out on the pontoon casting away... It was SO fun for me to see Allen and THE BOYS out fishing. My husband NEVER complained about having only girls in our previous life...but seeing him out with the guys made my heart glad. I think it made him pretty happy too.

We have a tradition of doing a night swim at least once during the summer. This summer it was a problem because of the cold weather.
We waited until the last night in hopes of warm weather. It didn't happen. The girls challenged the boys to a friendly game of charades. It was tight, but the girls came out ahead. (whew!!) Losers got the night swim. Brrrrrrrrrrr! I love these last pictures because they remind me of a fun, fun night! I also love it because these are some of my very favorite people! Thanks guys, for being such good sports and making life fun! :)
