In addition, to just chatting with each other and sharing our layouts, there are also challenges. I decided to try Toni's sketch challenge this month which you can see here...
Anyway, Evan was so proud of this little fish, a blue gill I believe. Mike and I have both taken him on little fishing excursions to practice, but this time around he was with Mike. I think Evan started showing an interest in fishing after watching the River Monsters show hosted by Jeremy Wade. My little fisherman architect! That is Evan :)
Now in music news. I have always like Christina Aguilera. I think she has an amazing voice, but I haven't bought any of her music in a while. At least since "Beautiful", and that was before Erin was born. But her new album Lotus has a few songs on it that I loved and I added to my itunes list.
Especially this song with Blake Shelton...
Also added "Make the World Move" with Ceelo Green and "Army of Me." Those were the only three though that I really liked.
Now off to find some of these...
They are yummy!
A super page - my oldest wants to have a go at fishing so a friend has volunteered to take him as we know nothing about it :) Will have to check out Christina and unfortunately pass on the coconut as it isn't one of my favourites - have a great day.

ReplyDeleteAmazing sketch and I love your take on it. Great photos too, you really can see how proud he is! :-)
ReplyDeleteHooray for Evan's first fish! That's a great way to spend time with kids - if they enjoy fishing. I don't (haha) but DH has taken our DD fishing many times when she was growing up. They're some of her fondest memories.
ReplyDeleteI have not seen any of those M & M's - but will look for them next time I'm out.
Great layout!!
Love your layout, Mary Jo! I have scrapped my son't first fish as well, although I don't think it is going to be a hobby for him. The first one was great, but he never asked to go again...lol.
ReplyDeleteLove that sketch and your take is great. Cute fish layout. (coconut m&ms intrigue me, will have to search them out, lol)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a fun group. Will have to pop in! Love the LO! Do adorable! And that line is perfect for the photos.

Such a sweet layout, and I like how you used that sketch.
ReplyDeleteI think Christina has such a powerful, yet beautiful voice.
Oh ya...do you need my address ;)
Love your take on the sketch! Beautiful is one of my all time favorite songs. :-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful take on that sketch! Love it!
ReplyDeleteGreat layout! Love the colors in this line! I haven't heard that song - such an interesting pairing of voices I had to go check it out! I'm with you on country -- I'm a rocker at heart -- but the bars we go to are all country and I have a blast line dancing. But when I get in my car I crank up Green Day, Our Lady Peace, U2, etc... to get a good cleanse. LOL :)
ReplyDeleteCoconut M&M's? Gotta find some of those! Great page, I love your little pops of the orange, nice contrast!
ReplyDeleteLove your LO!!
ReplyDeleteI remember when Ellie caught her first fish is was a special moment. WTG, Evan!!!
Love those M&M's!! I cant remember if I have heard of that song that Blake & Christina sang will have to come back and listen to it. I'm thinking they sang it on the voice once?
Great take on that sketch. It is a great sketch and I think I will add it to my sketch stash...that is a great line that you used...I love it too. Such great elements for fishing and for camping!
ReplyDeleteFishing is such a great pastime. We are a fishing family DH and SIL have boats so the grandkids are really good on a lake fishing trip...always carefull and aware of water safety.
Little My P will be 5 in late April and always wants his Bday party at Derby Reach...a local boating and campfire type beach.
DD like to give them theme parties like an equestrian centre or the Fish Hatchery etc but he just wants Derby Reach and a boat with fishing poles for his friends! He always catches the most fish...even more than his Dad!!! teeeheee
Wonderful page! I need to check out that Take A Hike collection. Love the bits of orange on the page and in the title!
