Happy Birthday To ME!

Today is my birthday. I am as old as I feel, which is still about 18. I was thinking about birthday's past and I remember as a kid and my parents taking me to Kiddie City in Ardmore and I could pick out anything I wanted. That one pick would last half the day as I would run around looking for the BESTEST TOY EVER. Most likly something to do with my hero GI JOE. Sharon had Barbies and I had a few GI Joes and a Big Jim that did the chop when you pressed the button on his back. When my cousins would come over, we would all play together, that always ended up with Sharon getting mad because somehow the game became GI Joe on a three day pass and Barbie didn't have a chance.
Anyway, today the girls and I went fishing. Then we went to one of my favorite places for dinner - Hibachi, then back home for cake and an ice cream sandwich.

Ev hanging out, getting some sun - Hey Baby!

Alyssa named this one BigGuy


Morgan is fishing and Alyssa is naming the rest of the worms
Alyssa wanted to hold the only fish I caught today - but after he fell to the dirt, she settled for just a touch

Morgan pulled this monster from the deep, can we keep him Dad?

I taught Alyssa how to set the hook, so as soon as she would feel a nibble, she would yank the fish clear out of the water and onto the bank

Morgan moved into the spot that I caught mine, this is mean country out here

Caught a turtle too, can we keep him Dad - you never let us keep anything.






Keep your eye on it Morgan

Good catch, now spit it out because you hate shrimp - she was just being nice to the chef.



Thanks Girls for a family fun day on my birthday. Thanks Mom and Dad - without you two - well you know. And thanks Bill for that special song on the answering machine - I laughed, I cried - it gave me chills.
