Happy Birthday Landon

It was Landon's Birthday on Friday. He is now a whopping 32 years of age.
The kids and I got him this new sleeping bag for the deer hunt. He had to test it out and of course the kids wanted to join him.
I feel bad because I didn't make him a birthday cake. However we did go out to Red Robin for a Birthday Burger. We also went out to ColdStone for some ice-cream which is almost as good as birthday cake anyways.
Happy Birthday Landon. We Love You!!!

Little Girls and Pocket Knifes= TROUBLE

I gave Chloe Landon's pocket knife and said take this to Dad. Note-IT WAS SHUT! A few seconds later she came running in screaming and crying I cut myself. Can you guess? yes she had decided that she needed to open the pocket knife up and take a closer look and sliced her thumb pretty good in the process. At first look we thought for sure she was going to have to have stiches but we finally got the bleeding to stop with her screaming the whole time I don't want to get stiches-and decided a bandaid should do the trick. Now it's time for some pain reliver and bed. Poor Little Inocent Girl. LOL
Well we're 3 for 4 on the finger accidents I guess I had better guard mine very carefully.

A Tale of Two Earrings

So as many of you may know Chloe has been counting down the days to when she could change her earrings, since getting them pierced last month. Easter was the official day for this. Well it didn't go as smoothly as possible. One earring came off just fine and we were able to change it out however not so with the second. The back just wouldn't come off and I am not joking. Everyone took a turn trying to get it out all the while her ear was getting sore and begining to bleed especially one time after mommy pulled on it a little too hard. Now what-I guess resort to tools yep Landon had to pull out some wire cutters and even that didn't make is simple he tried 4 different pairs and various attemps before he was finally able to break it and get the dang thing out. It took almost an hour. I was thinking we were really going to have to take her into the doctor and have them cut it off. She was so brave and patient through the whole process and was so glad when she could finally put her new "dangly" earrings in.
To bad I didn't get some pictures of the whole process they would have been a great laugh down the road.

EASTER

We had a great Easter in Flowell. It was so nice to see all of our family-many of whom we hadn't seen since Christmas. The kids had so much fun with all of their cousins. We had a massive easter egg hunt with 90 plastic filled easter eggs and probably about that many real ones. It was a little bit cold but we even made it out to the sandhills for a little while on Saturday. What a fun weekend we had.

Easter Eggs and Homemade Suckers

On Friday we went to my Mom and Dads to let the kids dye their Easter Eggs. Taelor came over too. They had fun!
Then Great Grandma showed up with an Easter Sucker making kit. The kids thought this was so cool. They had fun making suckers for themselves and cousins in Flowell.
