Lake LBJ Trip

We took our second annual family fishing trip to Lake LBJ a few weeks back. To sum it all up (for the sake of actually getting this posted), we had a great time, did some family bonding, TJ fell in the lake (life jackets DO save lives), we brought home a freezer full of fish, and had fun with Grandma and Pop who joined us a couple of evenings for dinner and even took the kids back to their place one night. This fun annual event will definitely continue!

Our little blue house. The kids thought it was super cool and really enjoyed all the neat places to hide.

I love these two pics!

The kids enjoyed a lot of fishing...

But not as much as they enjoyed the boat rides. That's all TJ wanted to do. Every time we would slow down for the "NO WAKE" zones. He would yell "GO SUPER FAST DADDY. DADDY, GO SUPER FAST!"

What more could a boy want?

He was like a dog sticking his head out of the car window...

This was not the way he fell out of the boat in case anyone is wondering. We were actually tied up under a bridge and he was pretend fishing, leaned over too far, and splash! That handle on the back of his life jacket came in very handy. He was cold and soaking wet with no change of clothes on the boat, but he was most upset about the fact that his Scooby pole was in the bottom of the lake and he would not be getting it back.

Evening and early morning fishing just Dwaine and I (thanks to Grandma and Pop)...
I forgot how much I enjoy that.

Monkey Business

Just a little sampling of a typical day in the Dement household...

(Thanks Maddy and Lainey for all the fun new clothes to try on!)

That's Alli in the background taping my shoes together. She has an obsession with scotch tape right now.

So, there you have it. Those are my kids. They truly know how to have fun and enjoy life and for the most part- we let them! They are only kids for so long after all. I mean you can't get away with that "get-up" when you reach double digits, but it sure is cute at 2.

So, after viewing this post, you may be wondering, "Do they wear their pajamas all the time?"

And, to that my answer is, "Yes. Many days, we do. And I'm lucky if they have the pants on at all, as you can see."

Time for a Third??

We kept our friend baby Davis and his big brother Jack recently and I got a kick out of TJ interacting with the litte guy. Jack and Alli were busy doing big kid stuff in the back room, but TJ was more interested in entertaining and talking to Davis. He was so sweet with him...
