Thanksgiving 2010 - Fishing

The boys had a great time fishing at the pond at the ranch. How could they not? You drop in your line and BAM! You got a fish!

My Name is Drew and I am the king of fishing.

Two boys. Two fish.

My name is JB and I am The Great Fisherman of this pond.

Drew has a big one. Well, bigger than most.

Say, "Ah." Or, "Pucker up!"

Brothers.

Proud of their catches.

And, look! I was there, too.

Thanksgiving Catfish 2010

The boys and I went with my mom and dad to the ranch on the Saturday of our Thanksgiving holiday. Drew caught a small catfish on his hand line. It was the biggest catch of the day. More to come on the rest of the fishing adventures.

I am working on a new project this year on something I started years ago. I am recruiting people to send me their lip prints. To get started, first send me your lip print applied to any kind of paper- copy, yellow pad, napkin, coffee filter, you get the picture.

Send it to:

Cheryl O'Pry

2701 Knoll Trail

Euless, Texas 76039

I will then turn around and send you a piece of art paper for another print of your lips. Then, I turn your lip prints into schools of fish.

So, go ahead.

Kiss some paper and send it to me at the address above.

Thanksgiving

The boys and I departed from our driveway at 6:15 am on Wednesday, November 26th- JB's birthday. It seemed like we had to stop 50 times but we actually made it to Refugio in good time. Wednesday we ate at Moya's and had cake for JB's birthday. Thursday we ate at home and it was such a nice day that we spent most of it out in the front yard with the boys and Hannah running around shooting each other with the nerf guns that were birthday gifts. Friday we at Moya's. :) We went to Walmart for about an hour and then over to Chile's to have more birthday cake. Saturday we spent the day at the ranch running around, fishing, and catching armadillos. Grandpa let the boys each drive his RTV. It was hilarious.




Then we booked it home and had it plenty of time to get ready for work and school on Monday.

Going to the Ranch

We spent a lot of time out at my parents ranch over the Easter weekend. It's a great place for the boys to roam and explore. Being the over-protective mom that I am, they don't stray too far from the adults but they do have a great time out there!

This looks like pure trouble!

My dad feeds the fish in his pond so it's pretty cool to fish here. We just use hand lines and the boys have gotten great at handling the fish. They still need to learn how to take the fish off the hooks and re-bait the hooks but all in good time.

Grandpa is quite popular with the four wheeler. I can't believe I actually got this shot with all three kids actually look back towards me!
