Fishing like a big boy

Well this weekend we have been battling a weird fever. Not sure what the deal is, but Trenton’s fever has been up and down since Friday. Saturday evening we decided to try to take him out on the boat. Worst case he didn’t feel well and we would head home. Trenton has really developed a love for the boat. It has been a long and bumpy road, but we have finally made progress! Last weekend he decided to climb out of my lap so he could catch a fish with his net. From that moment on he has loved the boat. It takes him a few minutes to realize he isn’t going to fall off and then he is fine. Now I am the one with all the nerves. The more he moves the calmer my fears get. My little boy is growing up so fast. I guess that’s why we are having another one right now, so he can teach his brother to be brave! Daddy is teaching Trenton how to cast his fishing pole. He now has a Spider Man and Transformers one to practice with. He is getting pretty good. By next year he might be able to go fishing with Dad while little brother stays home with Mommy!

On the move! I could barely get the camera out I was so excited!   DSC06529

Our little fisherman! This year fishing…next year tubing! DSC06530

Dad is a brave soul! I would rather be hot than climb in the creek/lake water! It’s a little brown for me! DSC06531

Drew decided to climb over from their boat on to ours to show Trenton how to do some real fishing! DSC06532

Trenton camped out on the back of the boat for most of the time we were anchored! I can’t say it enough how proud I am of him! DSC06533

My little cheese ball! He is very proud of himself! DSC06534

Dad decided to get in on the action! That smile is hilarious! DSC06536 At one point we beached the boat and the boys were fishing from the side and the pier. A nice man decided to dump some shrimp and Drew had a field day hooking them and throwing them to catch a fish. We just kept Trenton to his simple cork for now. Shrimp will come later. DSC06537

How cute are these boys! Drew is so good with Trenton. As a matter of fact all of the Jefferies boys are amazing with Trenton. It is like he has 3 big brothers!   DSC06540

This is something I never thought I would see, Trenton running back to the boat with excitement!DSC06541  

So when the boat is moving I am sitting here usually and he is on my lap. He tells me “hold me tight” Mommy! I guess a little bubble gum makes sitting alone all better! DSC06544

Here is what is fun about going out with friends on two boats, they take pictures of you! I am not the hottest thing around, but preggo so it’s ok! I think its a cute family photo!fising 3

Incredible picture Gretchen took of Trenton fishing off the pier fising

Mommy and Trenton. Rare that we EVER get a picture together! fising 2

AND completely off topic, but thought this was cute. Trenton must have found the camera and decided to take a few pictures. This is the only one that wasn’t completely dark. Look at that cute foot. DSC06518
