What a wonderful Mother's Day!

This weekend we were hoping to do get out and enjoy some warm, sunny, Montana spring weather.  Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate and we didn't get any clear sunny days.  But, we had just enough nice weather to get out and have some fun.  On Saturday we got up nice and early, compliments of Dane and Kimber.  I went for a nice run in the rain and then the clouds lifted enough for Clint and Dane to go work at the rental.  Here is Dane in his "workin' clothes" getting ready to go help dad.

 Sunday I got to pick what I wanted to do, and since it wasn't raining we decided to hike down on the Missouri and go fishing.  The water is still a little cold and muddy for some of the fish to be biting, but we always have a good time and this time was no exception.  Dane is getting so big, he hikes a good part of the time and then we have the Kelty for when he gets tired or when we are going through an area with a lot of cactus or brush.  Here are Dane and Clint headed out!

 Dane loves playing with the minnows.  He gets one at the beginning, puts it in his bucket and it will entertain him most of the trip.  Here he is proudly showing us his minnow!

Okay, Goldeneyes are not exactly a sportfsh, but they are fun to catch...  Especially to Dane!

 Kimber didn't really sleep good the night before...  Here she is catching up on her zzzz's.

 My awesome family!  Kimber is awake now and munching on a granola bar.

 Kimber taking it all in...

 What a great big brother!  He said he is going to teach Kimber how to fish when she gets bigger!

 After fishing, we loaded back up and the kids promptly fell asleep.  I wasn't ready to go back yet, so we took a drive along the River to look at the geese and their babies.  They are so stinkin' cute!

 When we got home I had to get into gear and get dinner going.  Mom came over and joined us for homeade pizza.  Once it got in the oven things calmed down and we had a really enjoyable evening.  I meant to be showered and dressed nice before mom arrived, but I was running behind...  Oh well!  Here is a picture of me, Mom, Dane, and Kimber

I had a really great weekend with lots of good family time.  Clint and the kids spoiled me with flowers and sweet compliments and we got to go hiking and fishing on the River.  Doesn't get much better than that!
I hope that everyone else had a wonderful Mother's Day as well!!!  We definitely send our love to all of the Mom's that we couldn't be with!
