Belly Bill


Lately, every time Carrie comes at me, my first instinct is to jump as high as I can,


pump my left fist straight up in the air,
and land directly on top of her belly with my right foot.


'Cause, you know... you only have one life to live.

We're freezing up here

This weekend we decided to go fishing. After 20 minutes of the boys watching a pregnant woman put on 5 layers of clothes (including a undersized pink snowsuit), I concluded that most of the entertainment for the day was from my marvelous performance in "Carrie Loves to Struggle to Keep Unfrozen"-pregnant edition.

The pond we visited stays at a nice 55 degrees the whole year so no ice fishing is involved. Liam loved watching his dad catch fish after fish until he realized how uncomfortable snow clothes are and how unfun frozen conditions can be. We spent the last half playing in the car.

After only a few casts, Tanner's brother Cabe fearlessly reeled in his first fish ever: a tender little 6 inch guppie. Tanner and I looked on like a couple of proud parents. We loved having a family member up to visit.

The best catch of the day was the one I caught on the drive over. Make sure your straps are in the car before putting it in overdrive.
