The Moshers have a new toy

Not to put anyone into shock, but Dave sold his fishing boat. Yep, the Grady is going to be handed over to it's new owner tomorrow. With the costs of gas going up, and with the lack of time that either Dave or Phil(Dave's boat partner and our closest friend) has to use the boat, the boys decided to put it on Craigslist and see what happened. This has actually been in the works for a while, but tomorrow is the big day. Close your eyes and have a moment of silence for the boat named 'Bout Damn Time.

My man can't be without a boat of any kind for very long, so last week we bought a ski boat. Dave is partial to Ski Nautiques, so we are now proud owners of a new baby. I know NOTHING about boats, so I just say what colors I like and try to do as I'm told when on the boat, but the kids have fallen in love. Within 5 minutes of the first ride on Lake Almanor last Friday, Haley and Jason were screaming happily at the top of their lungs and expressing their love of the new boat. Never did we get that reaction on the Grady....poor dad. Although when the fresh fish or crab were on the table, we all sang it's praises and praises to the "Fish Whisperer" also known as Dave.

Haley now thinks she's a wakeboarder, so I had to post some pics. We were out on Berryessa yesterday, and thank goodness other people have cameras, because I am incapable of bringing mine ANYWHERE when I really should have it. So here is Haley on the wakeboard:



Jason gets up right away, but doesn't stay up long. The kid is so weightless he has a hard time holding himself down....needs more meat on his bones, that one does.


And check out the old man....he still has it! The wife is not so great at the driving though, so Dave's wakeboarding skills are especially impressive considering what he had to work with.

Yes, it's a bit blurry but that is most likely due to the aforementioned wife's poor driving skills which threw off the photographer. I'll get it before too long.....
