HAPPY EASTER

On Saturday we went on the annual Easter Pic Nic, it was a beautiful day no snow or rain so that was really nice. The kids had a great time on their treasure hunts and loved their prizes so that was fun. Kale loved rolling the Easter Eggs down the hill, he didn't really want to send the eggs down but after he did he just laughed. He was really cute. It was a great day good food, good company, and lots of fun.

Coloring Easter Eggs

We had so much fun this year coloring our eggs. We used a bunch of crayons and made all kids of designs on them. Kale wasn't too in to the project at all he was to busy unloading the lid basket. Kendrick and Makenna had a lot of fun trying to make the best looking egg. Their favorite eggs where flags, we put stars on one end and then dipped it in blue and left a white strip and dipped the other end in red. Makenna kept her egg and still is packing it around today. We love Easter.

If We Plant It, Will It Grow?

We planted Wheat in our Easter Baskets again this year. We didn't plant it until it might have been too late, but we did it anyway. We planted on March 14, and really wanted to have it ready for the Easter Pic Nic on March 22nd. We planted, watered, and waited to see if it would work. Kendrick and Makenna didn't plant as many seeds this time because we didn't know if we would have enough for everyone. Kale's basket got the most and of course his looked the best. They turned out really cute and the kids had fun watching to see who's was growing the fastest. Happy Easter.

Our Little Shopping/Bag Girl

Makenna, Kale and I all went to Macey's to get groceries on Friday. Makenna helped me unload the car and waited while I put all the groceries away. She wanted all the plastic bags. I was doing some other stuff in the Kitchen and looked over and there she was with every single bag I had loaded with toys, books, clothes, anything she could find. She had loader her own little shopping cart with all of there. She had about 15 bags and something in each one. She is the bag lady, this girl and pack bag after bag, she loves it. I find plastic bags in her room all the time all loaded up. She has found where I keep all my old purses and I will find those loaded every one in awhile. She is such a good girl. She makes me smile all the time. Today she came downstairs and said "Mom I need you to come up in my room quick. You are going to be so mad it is such a mess!" She had this little grin on her face so I followed her up the stairs to her room. She had cleaned it all up. Everything had it place she was so proud, then she said "Mom, I just can't figure out where to put this shopping cart? It's always in the way". Amen to that, I love the cart but goodness it seems to always be in the wrong place. What a girl, we love her.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KALE

Hard to believe that Kale is already 1. We had a great Birthday yesterday March 7. We started the day of singing to him. He just smiled and laughed, he thought it was great. We got to go to lunch with Grandpa and Grandma Harward, Cameo, Reed and Kate. We went to Wendy's, Kale loved the french fries. We hard a Birthday Party with all the family that is close by. Grandpa Kim and Grandma Connie, Perrett's Slack's, Beal's, Brittney and Adam all came. We all ate Bar-B-Que or Sloppy Joes, depends where you grew up and chips, and then had Brownies, Ice Cream and Hot Fudge it was good. Kale ate Hot Dogs, he loves hot dogs and string cheese (we have to limit how many he eats). Kale loved the Birthday Cake. He is the only one of our kids who has really played in the cake on their first birthday. He had a little bit of help from Grandpa but he loved it. He was mad when I took him away from it. What a mess he was. It was a really fun day, helps to have a fun baby. It really is hard to believe we has been here for a year, it seems like we have had him forever but at the same time it seems like we just had him. He is a boy of 7's. Born March 7, 2007, at 7:57am and weighed 7lb 7oz. I hope 7 will always be his lucky number. Happy Birthday Kale, We Love You.

Our Trip to Idaho

We couple of weeks ago we decided to go to Idaho for the weekend. We loaded up the Snowmobile, sleds and snow clothes and we were off. The kids and I picked up Cade at work and left from there. We arrived to find so much snow. Kendrick couldn't wait to get out and play. We had a great visit with lots of family, ate alot of food which we always do and played Apples to Apples a few times. On Saturday Cade went and bought some tubes to go sledding with, we unloaded the snowmobile and played around in Grandma Ronda's yard and then decided to go up to the dry farms and sled there. Kendrick, Daxton, Jet, Judd, Trevor, Cade, and I all loaded up and went. We had a great time sledding down and riding back up the hill on the snowmobile. We played until we were frozen but it was FUN.
