Trout Club 2011 - fishing

Fishing was Richie's FAVORITE activity this year.  Every time he had a free second, he wanted to hit the boat.  Unfortunately when Chris took him out, they had a slow start and didn't catch any keepers.  Because of this Richie wanted to go fishing with his old fishing buddies: Grandpa and Aunt Donna Jo.  He remembered the fun(ny) times they had last year (when they trout pooped on them!!) so he asked for a reunion trip.  They wound up catching the fish that you see in front of Rich at the breakfast table.  Eating your fish at breakfast is a Trout Club tradition that Rich did NOT want to miss.  Unfortunately it was a little more than he could handle (he threw it up), but he promised to have a stronger stomach next time.

This year was Angela's first time fishing.  As you can see below she LOVED it.  She also enjoyed just taking boat rides a lot more than last year.  Her life vest finally fit her which seems to have made a big difference.

Giggles!

Although Angela loves to smile (and does so ALL the time) she has been stingy with the belly laughs. Not this day!! She is totally a daddy's girl and he is the best at making her giggle. Enjoy - it is music to our ears.

Single Mom - missing Daddy

Image
Since Chris was away again for work, we had our first Mommy/Richie/Angela days. It was a lot of work, but I did it! I guess I can handle 2 kids at once. Here are some pictures of our days so Chris can see what we did and know we missed him. We did lots of extra fun stuff because I was bribing Richie so he would go get a hair cut. Well it worked! He is finally not a shaggy dog and he didn't cry again. I am so glad the meltdowns during hair cuts are gone. That first one was brutal. I will never forget it. Some of our first smiles! (Unfortunately my camera memory card was full so this video got cut off)

Red Sox game with our pal Colton

Another fun baseball game and this one we invited Richie's best bud Colton.  We used to invite our friends and now we invite the kids friends.  Luckily Colton's parents are our friends as well so a good time was had by all.   Since the Red Sox were playing the Yankees, Rich wore the special shirt Babci made for him (half Red Sox half Yankees).  He always gets a lot of attention from it.  And this time Angela really got into the game more than usual.  She was so excited from the second we told her we were going to the game.  She insisted on wearing her Red Sox hat and shirt.  She cracked up everyone on the train because of her outfit and how she just kept yelling about the Red Sox.  Big Papi is her favorite player and she yelled his name the whole game.  Check out the video!
