Boatin' with the Boys

The Seamans family joined us on the patio boat for the first of what will be many trips. It was so much fun & all the boys seemed to really enjoy it.

And last week, I'm very proud to say, Robyn & I took the boat out ourselves with Jett, Andrew & Nathan. I think we're pretty cool Moms to be able to do that. Mike thought so, too! I have hardly ever driven a boat so Robyn was great at teaching me & she pulled it out & parked it back at the dock like a pro! It's much easier to learn from her than from my Dad or my husband :)

Our New Patio Boat

We bought a new used patio boat with my family this winter & are really enjoying it this spring. We have it docked out at Whiskeytown Lake on Brandy Creek & we use it almost every week. We know we're going to have an amazing summer with it & look forward to taking my Grandma & Aunt Debbie & Uncle Russ out on it when they visit from Kansas in June.

Mike's Birthday

Jett made Mike a cake for his birthday in February ~ with a little bit of help from my Mom. He understood that Mike was 44 so he put four candles on each side. It was beautiful & delicious.

He's getting really good at cooking & always helps me in the kitchen. He's great at cracking eggs. It will make us happy if he grows up to be a good chef ~ personally or professionally. Cooking is something Mike & I, as well as my Dad, all enjoy.
