From Spring to Fall 2009
Yup that's snow... it's March 2009, Fishing season has begun. I'm not sure why Kevin all the sudden decided he not only loved the outdoors (which he always has) but that he loved fishing and camping as well. This was the begining of a summer full of hanging out by the pond or lake with a pole. It was GREAT! I don't think you can catch a fish your first time fishing in years and not get hooked. Well, Kevin was hooked!
Weber River
Fly fishing wasn't a big leap for Kevin. He watched video's and read magazines. And spent time researching what rivers were the best in Utah to fly fish. This is the Weber river. No luck this time.
Cute outfit Hu?
Owen's outfit wasn't much better... ha ha.
Kaysville Pond
Kevin's first Bass. It looked so cool! I think he caught this one at Kaysville Pond- I don't remember. Good size! This fish was so heavy. Nice Job Kevin!
We went float tube fishing for the first time in Pineview. It was a little creepy if you ask me. But so much fun. Huntsville is so beautiful. I wouldn't mind living up there. More days on the lake with Kevin, I'll take it!
Kevin caught huge fish. None we wanted to eat though.
I just tried to get some sun. I am so white. I did a little fishing as well in the float tubes. As usual I didn't catch anything.
Farmington Pond
Kevin taught AnnaBella to fish this summer. This was the first of many fishing trips with her. We got her a little purple fishing pole for her birthday. She even caught a fish all by her self on her fishing pole this summer. How cute!! She never wanted to leave Kevin's side. She truly is Kevin's little buddy. (she loves to tell everybody that fact) On this trip Kevin would cast the line and she would reel it in. They whole time she was reeling it in she would say "we got one Kev" over and over then... nothing. No fish on the line. It was so funny.
After a long day playing at the pond AnnaBella was SO tired! She took a long nap when we got home. This is one of my favorite pictures.
Provo River
Kevin hooked a fish that was huge- they are skilled in evasion though. It jumped out of the water and dove like crazy and broke Kevin's line before he could let more out.
He had pretty good luck there never leaving empty handed.
Trip to Eden
After hanging out with friends in Eden all night, we decided to visit Owen's mission President before heading home. We came prepared with fishing poles and ended up spending the day playing out back by their private pond. The fish were elusive which lead us to spend at least the next six hours playing and trying to catch them.

Owen and Shannon tried to trick the fish by fishing from the boat. It didn't work. They didn't have any more success from the boat than we had from the side.
We tried fly fishing, rod and reel, nothing was working. We did get a couple bits. A true test of patience. Kevin is SO patient when he's fishing, he could do this all day.
Patience finally paid off for me. I caught the biggest fish! Kevin taught me well. I pull of the red neck look really well here too. A true fishing picture.
Next thing we knew, there was snow and ice. Fishing season over. Well, maybe next year we'll take up ice fishing.
to jump from the diving board for the first time! She's fearless.
Making my wish...I'm not telling
Grace and Lexi went for a swim as well. It was Lexi's first time swimming. She did GREAT! They worked together to bring back the sticks. It was so cute.
