Horton Book

In Seth's class they have been discussing different Dr. Seuss books. One of the books was Horton. Then the class drew pictures on how Horton was faithful.


Here is the book cover.


Here is one of the other kid's page. Horton was faithful because he was big.

Then you have Seth's. I'm thinking we need have a little talk with Seth about hunting and killing things.


Horton was faithful because he sat on the egg when the hunters came. I'm guessing Horton is ok cause he is still smiling.

Oh my word is what I thought when I saw the picture. Then I thought about all the other parents that were going to see the picture too. Oh Lord we are never going to have kids over to our house with pictures like that.

Easter

Alright I know I've been slacking on the blog lately. Sorry about that.

So Friday night Jamie and Josh hid eggs around Cheryl's upstairs. Most people write down where they hide eggs. Like "In Living Room Window", "Behind Curtain". But not Josh, he makes a diagram. Take a look.

Once we all got up the boys took off and looked for the eggs. You will have to excuse Jake with his boxers and no shirt.

Seth and his basket of eggs.

Josh was leaning against the wall trying to help Jakob out.

Jamie helping Seth get his egg from the window. The boys where not very nice with there hiding. They where putting them in the hardest places. Poor kids.

One of the items the boys got was new Webkins. They got to pick a bag and Jake got the Elephant and Seth got the Horse. Well Seth wasn't to sure about this. Soooo.......

Jakob being the great brother that he is switched with Seth. So now Seth has the Elephant and Jakob has the Horse.

After lunch Cheryl put the boys to work cleaning windows.

Even Seth cleaned windows.

Then we had Jakob climb down into the window well. He cleaned up all the newspapers and leaves that blew down there last fall.

It wasn't pretty work.

Then we walked over the church park near Cheryl's house.

I thought these two birds were so cute. They just sat there and cleaned each other. It was like they were kissing.

Sunday morning the boys got up and looked for their Easter baskets from the Easter Bunny. The bunny didn't do a very good job with Jakob's. He found it as soon as he walked into the sunroom. He will have to do better next year.

After breakfast we headed into Hayfield to see my mom and step-dad. We got to have a little one-on-one time with them. My brother and sister were at there in-laws for the day.

We got to have lunch.

I love pie. I got to take a whole one home. Thanks mom.

The boys also got to register there new Webkins.

Then we headed over to, as my nephew says, the pink park.

I love this picture. It is so getting blown up and put on our wall. They make me laugh.

Can you see Seth peeking out???

Another one for the wall.

Hope you all had a good Easter and many laughs like those above.

Weekend Visit

My friend Brenda and her family came up last weekend to visit. They arrived Friday afternoon. Sounds like the drive wasn't to bad, other then one missed turn.

The boys and I picked up some games, movies and pizza in town after school. We got back here and got the pizzas going right away. After Jamie got home and ate we all sat around in the living room talking and catching up. Then Jakob talked Jason, Katlyn, and Jamie into playing a game with him.

Seth of course made his way to Brenda and talked to her about his Spiderman guys. All the while making himself home on her lap with is blanket covering both of them.

I, of course, chased Ethan around the living room snapping pictures of him.

Saturday we headed into town. We went into a couple different stores on Main Street. Not to many are open right now, but it was still nice to look in the ones that are open.

Once we got back the kids decided they wanted to play in the driveway. So Jamie got out the different bikes for everyone to ride on.

I was a little nervous on this one. Katlyn was watching the boys go up and down the driveway and decided to go also. But she was on Seth's bike and I wasn't to sure how well she could ride. Luckily Jason went up and helped her out.

Then they decided it was time to golf.

Now one of the rules of the weekend was that Jason had to make me his Chicken Noodle soup. And I had to make him a Turtle Cheesecake. I'm thinking I might have to enforce this new rule. So anyone that comes to visit has to make me something I like. In return I will make you something. Yes, I think I like that rule. : )

Yummy!!!!!!!

We already cut into it before I took the picture. So don't mind the carmel.

The kids also ran around down by the beach.

Sunday morning we got up, had breakfast and Brenda and family headed out around 9:00.

Kids trying to get the gameboy to work.

Looks like Ethan is ready to head out. How much do you love his boots??

It was a great weekend. Thanks.
