This Last weekend we took Teancum on his first fishing trip. The Williams and we were invited by Mike (Ryan's boss) and his wife to his inlaws. They were so nice and hospitable. We ate a great lunch of fresh hamburgers then it was off fishing. At the stocked pond the fish were only kinda biting so it was off to the river next. It the three hours we were fishing we caught about 15 fish, Ryan was the MVP of the day catching by far the most. It was one of the best outings we've had in a long time; wonderful to get out of the city.
Good thing Keri brought her camera...here are the pictures of the day

Fun with the In-Laws

I've been such a slacker lately in updating this blog...the truth is we have been having so much fun I can't keep up. Ryan's family came and visited us for a few days and boy did we have fun. Teancum fell in love with his two aunts right away and was quite the little host. It was all fun and games for him; the zoo, the park, the museum, Jump Party, not to mention all the fun things he could get into while going down for naps (they stayed in his room).

Jacob was spoiled of course and who couldn't blame them. He was held everywhere we went and I loved watching him being so happy.

Anyways enjoy the footage.

Introducing Mr. Green

No, this blurb isn't going to be about money...it's about Teancum's newest friend. In addition to "Shawlaur" (I'll write more about them in the future) Mr Green is now one of Teancum's favorite pals to hangout with; even though he can't go down the slide.

So, who is Mr. Green? Why, he's the cute little grass head, chia pet-like friend Teancum brought home from library last week. He's cute and best of all Teancum can cut his hair with Scissors.

(the library program was on seeds & spring for those who missed it).

Now, how can you get your own little Mr. or Mrs. Green for your child to play hairdresser on? It's as easy as 1,2,3,

1. Take an old Nylon that you plan on throwing out (clean please...unless you want to call him stinky pete). Put a handful of Rye Grass seed in the nylon followed by a cup full of dirt, then tie a not in the end

2. Dress it up with craft eyes..for girls a little sticky bow would be cute too.

3. Turn it upside down in a clear cup, water, set it in sunlight and watch it grow

Here is a picture of our Mr.Green before and after his first haircut. NOTE: if your child swings the nylon around and mixes the seeds up with the dirt your Mr. Green will look more like an ape than a baby.

The finished product..not bad for a two year old
