First Fishing Trip

For the last month or so Wells keeps telling me he wants to go fishing.  I have no idea where he got the idea or how he knows what fishing is.  The weirdest thing about it is that every time we drive by Texas Roadhouse he says, "I wanna go fishing mommy, I wanna go fishing". 

So Wade decided to get his dad and take Wells fishing for the first time.  I don't think he was expecting it to be like it was.  I didn't go but Wade said he was pretty scared and grossed out by the fish.  I have a feeling that he'll take a liking to it real quick with the Hooton blood in him.  

Hee Haws

Our friends Nate and Kim invited us to go to Hee Haws with them to celebrate their daughter Morgan's  first birthday.  It was such a beautiful fall day and we had a great time with them.  

Quick story before you look at these next few pics.  Wade decided to take Wells on this big huge slide. You're suppose to grab a potato sack to sit on so you don't go down too fast, but when Wade stood up on the top of the slide he lost his footing and plopped right on his bum and started down the slide... never letting go of Wells!!!  

After we all played like that was part of the plan to Wells he decided he wanted to do it again and again.  Although he made sure he was sitting on our lap.

This is Wells dream come true.  

The Zoo

Every kid has to go to the Zoo every summer and every blog has to have a post about it... right?...

Well here it is.  

We actually got to go to the zoo twice, once with Wade's sisters and once with Gina and Macie but thanks to Gina she took some pretty awesome pics on my camera so they're the ones I'm going to show here on the good ol' blog.  

(Watch out Gina, you might become a famous photographer from all the hits on my blog... HA!!!)

Wells loves the zoo... I just wish it was closer!!!

Random

Here are just a few random pics I took over the last few months that I can't help but post

These are our neighborhood kids eating popsicles and playing on the slip n' slide one last time before fall.  I love how many kids we have in our hood.

Kennecott Copper Mine

A few months ago we went to the Kennecott Copper Mine.  Wells LOVED it!  He loves big dump trucks and tractors right now (I'm guessing most guys never grow out of that stage).  We had a great time and I'm guessing we'll make it a yearly trip.

Here are a few facts about Kennecott...

• Kennecott's Bingham Canyon Mine has produced more copper than any mine in history -- about 18.7 million tons.
• The mine is 2¾ miles across at the top and ¾ of a mile deep. You could stack two Sears Towers on top of each other and still not reach the top of the mine.
• If you stretched out all the roads in the open pit mine, you'd have 500 miles of roadway -- enough to reach from Salt Lake City to Denver.

The Dad Life

I know some of you have seen this on Facebook, but this is just too funny not to share with those not on Facebook.  I love this video and could watch it over and over again.
