bravery

Several weeks ago, Davis went fishing with his dad--absolutely loved it until he was stung 8-10 times by wasps! Trying to brush them off and screaming, he jumped tino the river in hopes of relief. Thus, that ended their fishing trip. A couple of weeks later, Davis was mowing the lawn and was stung, yet again! He's a bit freaked out at this point, to say the least. Last Saturday, being lawn day again, it took some coaxing and encouragement to get him out there! As you can see, he was covered from head to toe (it was 95 degrees!) and keeping his eyes on this:


Dennis installed three of these things around our yard. Within the hour , this is what it attracted! YIKES! Despite his extreme fear of being stung, he plugged away for awhile until the backyard was completely mowed. What a brave young man he is! That's why we love our Davis so much--persistent and always does a good job! As a much-deserved reward--a BYU football game! Go Cougars!

You are such a mean mom-sendig that poor kid out there to mow the lawn with his "wasp" phobia =). Although, I hate the buggers too! Sorry they ruined your fishing trip with dad
