Triplets gone fishin'! (10/8/2010)

The triplets finally got to use their new fishing poles! We headed down to White City Lake where the kids took a shot at catching a fish. We didn't have any luck with catching any, but we had a good time trying. Thank goodness Aunt Sharon was there to head up this activity fore I have no clue about fishing! :) Thanks Aunt Shash!

A festive 2009 4th of July!

We had a "festive" 4th of July!
The kids started a few days earlier and made "4th of July" crafts with Daddy... they enjoyed making patriotic bears, flags, etc. On the 4th itself, Angelia started off the holiday at the annual Bordentown Fishing Derby with Aunt Sharon. As you can see, Angelia was ready with her Barbie pole and Princess tackle box in hand! Later that day, the kids got all dressed in their red, white, & blue & headed to Memom's for a picnic with the family. It was a fun holiday!









Thank you to all of the men & women who have and continue to fight for our country. I give all of you a TON of credit for sacrificing all that you do to fight for our country & to keep us all safe. Thinking of all of you on this holiday...

Gone fishin' (8/29/08)

For the longest time, Angelia has wanted to go fishing. Since Michael and I are not "skilled" in this activity, this "adventure" was assigned to Aunt Sharon. For Angelia's birthday, Aunt Sharon bought her a BARBIE fishing pole-- it's so cute! So, we decided to go to Mercer County Park today for a picnic lunch, a little fishing, and to play on the equipment. Aunt Sharon got everything set up and showed the kids what to do. They each took a turn holding the pole -- and fought over it, of course! When Juliana took the pole, she looked like a "natural" -- she would tug on the line, reeled it in, etc -- mind you, this was her 1st time. Anthony felt that it was a "must" that he lift the pole up and pull the line back in-- he didn't "get" that he had to leave it in the water. And then Angelia stepped up to the plate and..... after a few minutes, she caught her 1st fish!!! :) It happened so quick... thank goodness Aunt Sharon was keeping an eye on the bobber! She reeled it in and then showed the fish to the kids... Micaela was the only brave one to touch it. Angelia was happy she caught one... we were hoping to catch one that day and did! :) It was a good day... and another great "first"! :) Thanks Aunt Sharon!
