DAY 29

(My Dad and I working on our laptops earlier today. Love this picture!

Hi all. Just in from dinner with the fam. We hit Dillard's tonight and did some school shopping for Brennen and Kenidi and then finished it up with a nice big, fat, meal. I almost went to jail again because of a comment that some lady made about Kenidi and her outburst inside Dillard's. I actually had to calm Brent this time because it was so bad. Basically the lady's exact words were to us after witnessing Kenidi's frustration was that "someone needed to go back out to the car." (inferring Kenidi) By the time we conversed and shared our "choice" words with this lady, Brent and I were trembling to the point of visible despair. It was not a pretty sight. My last words to her were that next time "she had best be careful before opening her mouth like that again." Later at one point upstairs, I looked at Brent and he was in a total daze. He looked me dead in the eye and goes..."Ang, I'll keep the kids while you go back downstairs and find that lady. Go find her and just let her have it." HA HA! Either way, we are home, resting on the couch, enjoying family time with my dad and Cathy. In fact, we are all hunkered down watching the movie "Under the Tuscan Sun."

(Ever seen a live shrimp up close before it is cooked and turns pink? This is a photo of one that they used for bait today.)

As you can see, we went fishing again today. Today was different in the fact that Brent came along and fished too - for the first time - E V A H - in his life. It was a hoot watching Brennen try to teach his Dad how to cast and fish. It was even more hysterical watching Brent actually try to follow through. I managed to capture these shots of his day and his first fishing experience.

The best part to this story is that Brent has always made fun of individuals who fish. He teases all of us about the point to it and why one would want to waste time fishing. By the end of the day, he was stealing the pole from his own son just to try again. Ha ha! It was hysterical! He always says that he is an extremist in all he does. I guess the same goes with fishing today too.

ABOVE: I love this shot. It looks as though Brent is reeling in a big one. Brennen is even holding up his finger like "oh wait...hold on...it's comin'....!" Then, up out of the water comes this....(see below)...

It's big Bertha! I kid you not...we laughed until we cried over the size of Brent's fish. For a first timer, catching a minnow isn't so bad. HA! He later went on to cast out and use that little guy as bait.

And lastly, just wanted to share this one of Brennen getting his foils/highlights done yesterday at a salon here. Too funny! We are going back to school with a funky new look. He's just way tooooo cool! Ha ha! For now, I am off to bed. It's been fun! I'll touch base again tomorrow or Tuesday. In the meantime, just a reminder that we have only 7 more days until the BIG reveal regarding our news next week. 7 more days...

This time next week....well....hang tight to find out. Much love, Angie
