RIP SOME LIPS BOYS

That sounds violent - but I guess "rip some lips" is a fishing phrase (the fish probably don't particularly like that phrase either). Scot and Steve have gone fly fishing the past 2 days - apparently yesterday was amazing - they fished with Pat Dorsey (who is "THE guide" of the river they fished here in Colorado). It was really warm here yesterday, which means that the water was high and the boys muscles were VERY sore upon arriving home. Today they went to Elk Trout & fished with one of Scot's other favorite guides, Jason. They ripped some lips and found much success. Scot didn't take any photos today, but for the sake of photos accompanying stories, the photo above is of a big brown he caught a while back.

Judie and I went on a trip to the outlet mall today. I needed some more summer PJ's for Ethan and a few more t-shirts with all the warm weather approaching. Mission accomplished & Ethan was a trooper. He took a great nap this afternoon - over 2 hours, so I was able to get the majority of the house cleaned and some laundry done.

Tonight Ethan took at least 3 steps unassisted. I was sitting on the floor with Judie and he walked back and forth quite a few times - typically he would reach out for a finger just so he could walk straight - he was a little tired and at times walked like a drunken sailor.

On that note, I think I'll sign off and await tomorrow's Mother's Day festivities.
