Cat scratch fever

I tell her all the time if she gets right in Dickens' face and bothers him, he will let her know it bothers him.  Of course it happens on the day of soccer pictures.

You might be a redneck if...

You throw your son's bike and your son in the back of your truck and drive home.

Number eight is super great!

That is the cheer that I used to try to get Hailey fired up for soccer. She ran around the field, but she isn't very motivated to get to the ball. This may be her last soccer season. She has fun out there with her friends, but if she is not that into it should we continue to pursue it? I don't know - she is only five, she could grow more into it. It just seems these days that you have to get your kids into their sports so early or they don't stand a chance later on. Something just seems wrong with that.

Cuppa Joe

I started drinking coffee in the morning. I thought maybe the caffeine in the coffee would help me cut out my pop habit. So far it hasn't .

Tin Grin

Spencer had his braces put on this morning. He was actually more excited about it than anything else. He looks so cute and old!

Happy Easter!

We had a good Easter morning hunting for eggs and baskets. It didn't take the kids very long to find their stuff. I think the bunny has to try a lot harder next year.

Two dozen

We colored two dozen hard boiled eggs today. It took the kids about five minutes to finish their creations. I am looking forward to egg salad sandwiches next week.

Return trip

We went back to Hoffmaster today to try to finish up the three stage geocache from the other day. The second stage of it was a puzzle that we tried to figure out for about a half hour and couldn't crack. Today we must have had our thinking caps on because we made it work.

Butterflies

We took the kids to the Meijer Gardens today to see the butterflies and play outside. Gardens during Spring Break? Big mistake. We didn't stay very long. I am glad we bought the season pass last summer so we didn't feel like we had to fight the crowds today to get our money's worth.

Beat

An example of what a whole day of playing outside can do to you. Don't miss Hailey sound asleep on the couch.

Flower

So far the deer don't seem to be bothering my gardens this year. Maybe it is the gallon or so of deer away nasty stuff that I sprayed all over the flowers. Whatever it is, they better leave my pretties alone!

Last look

Spencer is getting his spacers put in his teeth today. I don't know if they will show or not, but I made him show me his bare teeth for the last time for two years anyway.

Biker babe

Two of Hailey's latest loves. Riding her bike around the top of our cul-de-sac and Baby Lila.
