Mike and John

John was home today, he and Mike watched the Dallas/Atlanta game Final score Dallas 37 Atlanta 21.

Then they went outside and pounded John's latest dent out of his fender! (LOL)

Calaveras Lake Sunrise

Beautiful Morning! Waiting for the fish to start biting we got to enjoy this beautiful sunrise!

Another Redfish! August 29, 2009 Calaveras Lake!

Here is another keeper! Yeah, yeah, yeah, Mike caught it too! I haven't heard the end of it for two days either! (lol)

Catfish Catch!

The last 3 or 4 fishing trips we went on we didn't even get so much as a bite, so it was nice to finally catch some. None of them were prize winners or anything and all the catfish we threw back along with a few reds that were under 19 inches.

Raising the boys with Mike has been a long hard road. They are grown now and all we can really do is just hope and pray that they choose the right roads in life. They taught me joy and I experienced a kind of pride and humbleness all at the same time as I watched them grow! I couldn't of hand picked a better man to share the journey with, it was another one of those times in my life that God knew what I needed long before I ever did. I'm very thankful for that!

Catching fish or not, It was a warm heartwarming feeling to look across the boat and see this! Fishing is my favorite thing to do in the whole world and to have somebody to share that with at this time in my life is something I'm very grateful for, I know how fast people can be taken away and I think it is important to cherish every moment!

Mike's Fish!

The catfish we threw back, but the Redfish that were over 19 inches we kept to eat!

Calaveras Lake Aug 2009

Mike caught all the fish today. I ended up just feeding the fish and taking pictures. That's o.k. though cause I got to enjoy this beautiful sunrise!

July 26th

Bob, Jared and Ryan were in a very serious car accident. They made it out of this without any serious or life threatening injuries. They were very lucky and had some guardian angels working overtime on that day! I'm very grateful for any help I can get watching out for these young men.

Mike's First Boat!

The man dedicated the last 21 years to raising his family. He always put his wants and need on the back burner! He is a Dad and that's what Dad's do. Well I'm happy to say that now that the kids are grown Mike got to do something for himself. He went out and bought a new fishing boat. The 2009 Pro 16 from Bass Pro Shop in San Antonio, Texas! I hope to be posting lots of pictures of our adventures. It's going to be fun!

Mike and Doc

Mike is holding the new puppy "Doc" and has on one of his favorite Carhartt jackets!
