Summer Fun 3 - Lemonade and Fun Kids

It is great to have awsome kids. It is fun to see them have fun together and love eachother.

Lemonade Stand - the kids did good in their first business day. They made more in tips than selling lemonade - there are some gracious people out there. As I once heard one should always stop and buy a cup of lemonade from a kids stand.

Our kids are great.

Summer Fun 2 - Trip to Black Butte, OR

The trip started off as an adventure - we made it to Dunsmuir before we had a flat tire - drove to Mt Shasta on I-5 with one of those bike tire spares. But once we replaced two tires and made it to Black Butte we had a blast with our friends the Carlson's - thanks for inviting us guys.

Happy Birthday Brett: Brett had a few friends over for a lego themed party. He gave each of his buddies a lego racer car and then we had a race. He asked each of his friends to bring one of their lego guys to the party and they were used as the passengers. Happy Birthday Brett - sorry for the late blog.

EASTER

We had a wonderful Easter with part of our family. After Church, Nathan, Tina and Brady came over along with my mom and Charlotte. Charlottes friend Carol also joined us. It was raining out so we didn't get to do the family photo shoot. My dad ended up getting sick so Easter dinner at our house was the last minute plan. Kel and Chad were in Oroville with his family and Eric and Rachel didn't make it up. And of course Trent and Jill were in Florida. Maybe next year we could all have Easter together. How about your house Grandma Dee?

This was a diaper wreath given to Tina from Jill, Charlotte, Dee and I to shower Tina with Love from all of us. It had all kinds of fun gift cards, toys, and treats tied to it.
