Fishing!

We went fishing this afternoon at a little pond not to far from our house. We didn't catch anything but had a good time. Easton and Gretchen enjoyed rolling and running down the little hill. I am sure we will go fishing a lot more. So this is probably just the beginning of fishing pictures!

Feeding the Ducks!

Last week Chad and Easton found a place where we can go feed the ducks. I think Easton has asked to go almost everyday. Here are a few pictures!!

Gretchen's bread never made it to the ducks. We need to practice throwing with her I guess.


I love pictures when little kids are walking holding hands. Gretchen took charge and led them, just like a little girl I guess.

Lunch in the Sun!

I love days when you can have lunch outside. Easton and Gretchen really enjoyed it and want to eat outside every day.

Randomness

So nothing that exciting has really happened lately that I have wanted to blog about or so I thought then this morning I was thinking and I had a million little things that I wanted to write down.

1. Easton is the kid in the primary class that tells the teacher any and all family information. Not that we really have that much going on but if you have ever taught the little kids in primary you know what I mean. There is always that one kid that tells you all family secrets. Easton told his teacher that his dad hurt his heal and he needs a bandaid. Then this last week he invited his teacher to go camping with us in the summer.

2. Gretchen says lots of words lately, but still can't understand her most of the time. The other day Gretchen wanted a drink and asked marshal but she called him buddy. Well now when she wants a drink she asks for buddy. We will have to re-teach her drink. It is cute though.

3. I found a gray hair yesterday! Yes most people might be saddened by this but me I was excited. I am not 100% sure why I was excited. I have a few theories though, my siblings still think i am like 12 so in my mind I was like ha ha I am not 12. Weird I know but apparently that is how I think. As more gray hairs come I am sure the excitement will go away and I am pretty sure I will be dying my hair.

4. I have a love/hate relationship with facebook. One second I think it is stupid and such a waste of time, then the next minute I get to chat with good friends that live far away.

5. Easton's hair is a challenge. I like the short look on boys hair but it sticks up and is fuzzy so we are growing it out. If you see him please tell him he looks handsome when he does his hair.(Even if you don't think so) He tends to fight me on the doing the hair. I thought I had a picture of it, but don't so sorry.

6. My kids love sand and I think I need a sand pile. It keeps them busy and happy for hours. I am sure there are a few draw backs. Like the sand all over the clothes, hair, house, them. It just seems the enjoyment is worth it.

7. I miss Chad.

8. I have an awesome sister. Really that's all I have to say about that.

9. I secretly want a pair of cowboy boots. I guess it isn't a secret anymore now. I am not sure why I just think they are awesome.

10. Gretchen is going to take after her mother. I guess I spend to much time on the computer she is always trying to sit here.

11. So I am sad because I changed our dish package and now we no longer have Disney channel. I really really enjoy The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.

12. I love these guys.

Race for the Cure

I got the information for this years race for the cure in the mail yesterday. I did this race last year and am excited to do it again. This race costs more then any other race I have ran in but the money goes to something that I think is important. Cancer has affected my life through people I love. None of those people had breast cancer but there are no races for their types of cancer. Running in this race last year was exciting. You could see so many people who were running for people who had passed away and then you could see these people in bright pink shirts and you knew they were a survivor. Anyway I am putting this hear to see if anyone would like to participate in this with me. You can go here to register or just for more information. If we got enough people we could have a team, I am not 100% sure what that means but sounds like fun. If anyone is interested please let me know.

Outside!!

Easton spent a week with his Grandparents, the day he came home the weather was really nice. All Easton and Gretchen wanted to do is play outside.

I am not sure why this picture is this weird direction but Easton was running to give Gretchen a hug.
They both kept peaking around this tree. I thought it was dang cute.

Easton thought he was so funny when he put this on backwards. Apparently he is making a funny face at me.

I am excited for nicer weather. I know it is still winter so I have to be patient.

Green Eggs and Ham(Sorta)

Okay so I love Dr. Seuss so today on his birthday I made Green Eggs and Bologna. I didn't have any ham and my family for some insane reason enjoys bologna. I myself think it is plain nasty. I am pretty sure it freaked Easton out because he would not eat his lunch. I made him a regular old bologna sandwich like he wanted, but he just stared at. I think he was afraid it was green to. Gretchen ate the Green Bologna and I ate the eggs. I wish I had The Sneeches and The Lorax dvd they are my favorite Dr. Seuss movies. I hope everyone has a Happy Dr. Seuss's Birthday!!!
