Playing catch up!

I need to desperately get caught up. But where to start. I guess with a week or two before Father's Day. So a little history. I come from a family of strictly fly fishermen. Micah comes from a family that lake fishes. Explanation ended. Micah took a fly fishing class in college and had fun with it but never really took it further then that. That is until we met. Okay after we got married. Since we live about ten minutes from my Brothers fishing hole we have met up with them a few times. I always felt bad though because they were always in the water and Micah fishing from the bank. He was okay with it. That was until a week before Father's Day of this year. We finally went and got Micah his fly fishing gear. All of it. Like his fly rod, flies, waders, boots, vest, fly box. I could keep going but you get the idea. The poor kid was so excited to use the stuff but he ended up waiting a few days due to timing of everything. 

Here he is picking out flies with my brother Pete. 

Practicing his casting with his new rod in our back yard. 

And him in his new get up for fishing. Haha he HATES his picture taken and it took a lot for me to get him to let me take it. I will take what I can get. Anyways so Tuesday before Blake was born we finally went to the river with my brother Pete and Micah got to use his stuff. He enjoyed it and I enjoyed watching him! I don't know what it is, probably the fact I grew up watching my brothers and dad fly fish but I find it attractive. So the fact my husband enjoys it is a bonus for me. I also love going and sitting by the river. Can you blame me when I have this view!!! 

Anyways. So this all happened the week leading up to Blake's birth. A week after he was born we went down to my moms house. I get stir crazy if I sit around for too long and I will admit I wanted to take my baby somewhere. And with it brig summer. I am glad I don't have to worry and RSV season...just yet. At my moms my sister in law, Becky, with Becky Ann photography, took Blake's newborn pictures. In my moms front room! 

The next weekend we went down for Taylorsville Dayzz. We just went for the fireworks and sadly I dot have any pictures. But yes we took Blake and yes he slept through the fireworks. And yes we protected his two week old ears. :) we stayed the night and went to my aunt and uncles homecoming talk. Reporting on their mission in Germany. It was so good to see them! And of course family. We have also been to a two week appointment for Blake and found out he was weighing in at 7lbs 5oz at two weeks. He was also circumcised (no pictures of course!) and found out he is a tuff little dude and didn't cry! It amazed Micah and I might add, he bragged about it! What a proud set of parents are we! Three weeks old brought on the 4th of July! Again no pictures. But man he was fussy that night! He would not go to sleep! He fights it like a fat kid eats cake! It's quit pathetic actually. We also went and saw disposable me 2 and loved it. It will be added to the collection! We went to a gender reveal party for Micah's sister and her husband and found out that Blake will be getting another boy cousin!! We also saw just how much of a binki baby Blake really is! 

Yup! He is sucking on the side of the binki! I told you he was a binki boy! Don't worry we don't want him having a binki older then a year. We took Blake fishing on his first trip to Jordanelle to catch some perch. 

He enjoyed it so much he slept through it all!! 

Sadly we didn't catch any perch. 

But we caught lots of bass! Nothing no enough to keep though!  We have been enjoying spending time with Brinton and Becky and the kids while they are here and even caught Dane sleeping comfortably.

Blake got his first big toy purchase

An activity mat, he is still trying to get used to it! 

.we love cuddling with dad! In fact we love it so much that at times...he is the only one who can settle Blake down and get him to sleep! Grandma Moeller doesn't quit get it! Ha! 

Blake is obviously the cool kid on the block!!!! We also had the woods side baby shower! Ashley came and enjoyed holding Blake some more! 

An then we went fishing again his past Friday with Brinton and Pete!!! Brinton caught fish! Pete caught a couple and Micah caught one with lots of hits! 

Brintons fish 

Pete's fish

And Micah's fish!

Such a little thug milk beard and all! 

Saturday was mine and Micah's one year anniversary! Blake got baby sat by grammie and me and Micah got to go to Cheesecake Factory!!! We were going to go to the roof but opted for Cheesecake Factory. Cheep and you still get full and get to take home your left overs!!! Monday Blake hit his one month mark and he is getting bigger everyday! We love him to death and have a hard time believing he is ours and that we aren't just tending someone else's baby. One day I'm sure it will hit. I think that catches us up to date! Hopefully I will update it often now!!!
