Another great day and A GIVEAWAY

Author: Miranda /

Ok so it was another great day today. The morning was spent shopping with hubby and the boys, then home for about an hour and then we headed out to Uncle Doug's to go fishing. Connor was fishing right off the bat, no sooner did he sit down and daddy made the first cast and he caught a fish, then another, then another...4 fish in a row....then he decided he was bored so Yaya took over the pole and wham she caught a fish...it was just a good day, JJ caught fish, Papa caught fish, Daddy caught fish and even Mommy caught a couple of fish, but the big highlight was when Mommy (that is me) caught a whopper of a TURTLE, yep i said a turtle. A snappin turtle had popped his head up by my bobber and as his head went down, so did my bobber, so of course I thought he had hooked on, so I reeled him in. Now of course I had the fishing pole and not the camera in my hands so I look to my dad to take a pic, and he grabs his camera but the turtle got away before a pic could have been taken, I had hooked him in his back leg, but it was a consensus that he was the size of a go kart tire...so a fairly good sized turtle. I thought I would share some pics.....


Now I am sure that you are all wondering about the giveaway in my title, well that is right, I am gearing up for another giveaway. This Thursday I am joining my mom and her best friends for a girls day out and we are road tripping to some of the coolest places. Well while I am out and about with them I am going to pick up little things here and there to create a "share my visit home" basket that will be given away at the end of July. I will start the giveaway tomorrow, the first of July and it will go through the 30th of the month, Yes that is 30 days to enter. I will put all the info in how to earn entries into tomorrow's post. Plus as the month goes by I may even add more things to the basket as surprises! Keep checking back and let all your friends know!

Yes we made it up to my folks house. At 5pm on Saturday evening to be exact. Now this was a fun trip! The boys got to ride along with the grandparents in their big trucks. Connor got to go with Papa on Friday and got to sleep in the truck Friday night with papa, they made it here Saturday at about 4pm. (papa had to deliver his load on Saturday) Yaya stayed the day with us on Friday, and then bright and early Saturday morning we took JJ up to the Flying J where yaya was and he got to ride with Yaya all the way back home. Daddy and I followed in the van with Samson (our dog). Such a nice peaceful ride for us. I read a book, which took up about 3 1/2 hrs of the 10hr ride, then I downloaded some free games to my Bberry, played those, took a nap, and then with about 3 hrs to go I was completely bored! With no movies goin for the kids, no constant talking or questions, not having to refill drinks or snacks i didn't have anything to do. Thankfully we made it and both boys were super excited to finally be at Yaya and Papa's house.

Sunday was a relaxing day around the house, mom and I went to town to get groceries and ran by Kmart to pick up a few things. The kids got to have a water gun fight with daddy and Papa. This is a tradition that Papa started a yr or two ago and each year it's a challenge to see who can show up with the biggest and best water gun. It is something the boys look forward to every year along with going fishing at Uncle Doug's and goin out to play and do smore's around Uncle Richard's fire.


Today we went out to Uncle Richard's, they got to see the ducks, chickens, roosters, bunny's and got to play with the swing set and tether ball. Mom showed me the Hollyhocks she planted there a few years ago, they are gorgeous and i got some great close up pics of the flowers. I will close out with a couple of pictures from Uncle Richard's. I will try to update things later in the week. I hope everyone is having a great day and enjoying their week.
