Fisherman Quotes


I found these quotes while working on our Wood Family Reunion Book (yes, mom I am working on it) and if you are surrounded by fisherman like I am, my husband, my sister's husband and my brother-in-law, to name a few, than you might enjoy these:

There are two types of fisherman - those who fish for sport and those who fish for fish. ~Author Unknown

Fishing is the sport of drowning worms. ~Author Unknown

There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot. ~Steven Wright

A bad day of fishing is better than a good day of work. ~Author Unknown

The fishing was good; it was the catching that was bad. ~A.K. Best

The gods do not deduct from man's allotted span the hours spent in fishing. ~Babylonian Proverb

Bragging may not bring happiness, but no man having caught a large fish goes home through an alley. ~Author Unknown

If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles. ~Doug Larson

Give a man a fish and he has food for a day; teach him how to fish and you can get rid of him for the entire weekend. ~Zenna Schaffer

I am not against golf, since I cannot but suspect it keeps armies of the unworthy from discovering trout... ~Paul O'Neil

Even if you've been fishing for three hours and haven't gotten anything except poison ivy and sunburn, you're still better off than the worm. ~Author Unknown

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn. ~Chuck Clark

March Madness

Are you ready for this.
March "family" birthdays.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO...

Aunt Jennifer
March 6th

Mom Jones
March 7th
Tami could be my sister. Don't you think. It is hard for me to think of her as my mother-in-law because she is more like a sister to me. We have the same taste in clothing and if you ask Aaron we act A LOT alike. I love you tons, and I hope you had a wonderful day relaxing and recovering from Disneyland:)

Aunt Sandy
March 9th


Krew
March 20th
Krew is almost 1!

Dad Jones
March 24th

March is the birthday month for the Jones family. Aaron also had a grandma "mommier" whose birthday was on March 22nd.

Glow Putt

I am feeding Krew when Kali wakes up and wants to take a bath. I put her in the tub start the water and continue to feed Krew. I notice the bath has been running for a little while but Kali is usually good about turning off the water when it gets to high and sometimes she forgets to put in the plug so the water level really never gets to high. So the water is running and I am thinking to myself, Kali must not have plugged it up because she hasn't turned off the water, but it sounds weird, I look on the floor and the floor doesn't appear to be wet. I finish feeding Krew and walk toward the bathroom and next thing you know, squish, squish, squish, I am walking in water and Kali is having a good ol' time in her man made pool.



Me: Kali, why didn't you turn off the water?
Kali: Sorry mom, it was an accident.
Me: burst out in laughter.

It was just one of those mornings where I just wasn't in the mood to be angry.
Krew comes in behind me to see what all the commotion is about and he decides to jump into the pool (tub) pajamas and all. More laughter. I don't know why, the whole thing was just so funny to me. So I strip Krew down but before I take off his diaper I check to make sure it only has shi shi and it appeared that way, so I took it off and one little piece of poop ploped in the tub. Now I have to hurry and pull both kids out, drain the tub, and clean it. I told the kids bath time was over, they got a quick shower, soap and rinse. No complaint. That was good.



















It was a rainy day today, so I decided it would be fun to go to the mall and let Kali play glow in the dark miniature golf since we saw it last time and she really wanted too. It was really fun. Krew enjoyed crawling around and Kali enjoyed hitting the ball and then picking it up and setting it right next to the hole so she could hit it in. She made it in all 18 holes. Good Job Kali!!



Then we spent some time and the play area. Always a good time. Krew made some friends. There were these little boys who just couldn't leave him alone, they loved him :)

We did some shopping, and Kali wanted to try on all her clothes in the dressing room to make sure they were going to fit. She was so cute!

Lets go fly a kite




It has been pretty windy around here lately. The perfect weather for kite flying. Ka'ala brought out Kilika's kite and while waiting for Chris she decided to entertain the kids between the buildings, only to end up with a kite in the tree :) After a couple of my failed attempts to hang from a branch and free the kite Chris showed up and untangled it and took us to safer grounds, the open field where the kids enjoyed watching the kite and watching Chris run after the kite when they let go of the handle:) Krew and Kilika were entertained by Jocelyn and wanted to push her in the stroller. Little Nate joined us with his kite and he and Kilika tired to fly it, so cute.
Thanks Chris, Ka'ala and Kilika for sharing your kite with us.

Seussical


Kali and I got to go see this Seussical Musical performance on campus. It was very entertaining and Kali was obssessed with Jo Jo. If he wasn't on stage all Kali would say was, "where is Jo Jo?" They had several of Dr. Suess's books pulled together into an hour and a half of pure entertainment. Thanks Aaron for staying home with Krew so Kali and I could have a date together :)
