Easter!!

For Easter we went to Mikes family cabin again this year.
You find bags of candy at this Easter egg hunt!

There is a ranch down there that does the best Easter Egg Hunt! They have the egg hunt, then after that you go into the lodge and everybody gets a number, they draw numbers and if yours is drawn you get to pick a big Easter basket full of toys. After that everybody gets to go over to some tables they have set up with toys on them and everybody gets to pick a toy, they go all out and its way fun!

Maddy and Grandma Blad

Mike and Chris thought this was the coolest thing ever! When we were going into the ranch Mike saw this deer head in the trash! They went inside and asked about it and the lady said they were getting rid of it and they could have it if they wanted, it was mounted on a head, but the nose was broke off so they had been storing it in the closet, so Mike just took the mount part off. This really made his day, especially since when we were on our way down to the cabin his truck broke down, so he was kind of bummed. I think he took like 500 pictures of this deer!

Good Babies!

Lately my kids have been surprising me by unloading the dish washer. Dakota does the bottom ones and Brielle does the top ones. They are always so excited when I walk in and see them! I took a picture of them the one time and hung it on the fridge, now every time they do it they want me to take their pictures, and Brielle told me I needed to put the pictures on my blog, and write Good Babies and the top!

Updates

Its been awhile since I have posted because I have been having issues with getting my pictures onto the computer, so I kind of have a lot of posts, just keep reading down. I found a website called blog2print.sharedbook.com they make a hardcover book for you of your blog. You just type in your blog address, pick a cover, and choose the dates of the posts you want printed, and then you have your journaling all done!! I've been wanting to find something like this for that reason. Check it out. For my book I did sept. 2008 until now and it was going to be $30.

Rainbows!!

The other day after the rain a really pretty rainbow came out, so we decided to go out and enjoy it!
It's always an exciting thing for a kid to see a rainbow, so the frist thing Brielle and Dakota did was run down to have grandma and grandpa come out and see it!

Dakota's First Horn

This was a big moment at our house, Dakota found his first horn!!!! He was out hiking with Mike when he found it, it was so funny listening to him tell the story about it. He has obviously been listening to his dad come home after he finds a horn and tell me every detail about how he found it, becuase that is what he did. He told me it was in a spot that used to be a creek but the water was gone, and at first he thought it was a stick, and then he realized it was a horn and on and on.......
