Fishing with Grandpa Davis

Last Saturday we went fishing out at Grandpa Davis' house.  He just built a new, fancy, 2 level dock complete with sitting benches.  Makes for some comfortable fishing.  

I absolutely love this photo.  

The adults all threw some lines in the water as well.  However, the fish just weren't biting on this day.  I think Hannah caught 1 or 2 brim but that was it.  We didn't even get nibbles on the catfish lines.  

Grandpa was telling them something.  I can't remember what though.  

The girls had fun.  Hannah stayed with his fishing pole for a long time!  Then Riley and Hannah toddled around the deck.  Riley did good, she remained aware of the edge and didn't get too close that often.  Besides, there were enough adults around that it wasn't too difficult to keep an  eye on her.  We hung out for a few hours.  Hannah and Riley played with the minnows.  Riley really liked them, and as usual, showed no fear or trepidation at grabbing them repeatedly.  Hannah grabbed a couple but they kept managing to squirm out of her hands and through the crack in the deck.  So I finally told her she wasn't allowed to grab anymore.  It was a good afternoon.  

Photos from here and there

This was taken a week ago, at a friend's house.  Hannah and Riley were riding around the yard.  Mainly running into things.  Until Riley refused to sit down.  

This was taken the next day, Sunday morning at church.  

We're loving the warm weather!  

This was taken on Tuesday.  Riley was just hanging outside with me.  I was working on my tan, she was creating chaos.  I know it doesn't look like it in this photo, but trust me, she was! 

Yesterday Brave made an appearance to help Riley down the slide.  

My new workout partner

I've picked up a new exercise partner: Hannah.  I have these grand dreams of Hannah and I running in races together.  I've seen moms and daughters running together in many of the events I've run in.  

We're just starting out together.  I've told her we can run as far, and as fast, as she wants to go.  

I've told her that it's about me and her spending time together.  I know I'm pushing Riley in the photo's but that's more to help  me slow down than anything else.  

Right after she finished her bike ride, she got out a ran with me.  It was her first brick workout. = )

So far, it's going good!  She's excited about it, which is huge.  And she's pretty good.  Her form is good, her legs and feet are flopping all over the place.  She'd rather go fast than slow.  And she's willing to go pretty far, in my opinion.  

I can't wait to see how we progress together.
