MY FIREMAN...

We got to go watch John and the other volunteer fire fighters burn this barn down .....
the kids loved watching their dad! He is AMAZING!

CINNAMON ROLLS

Before nap today Jason asked if we could make cinnamon rolls AND no bake cookies.

I told him I would think about it

(sorta hoping he would forget about it during nap) -

well, the first words out of his mouth when he got up from nap were

"can we make cinnamon rolls?"

Well, I said "yes," and the adventure began.

My kids LOVE cinnamon rolls SO much.

As we were enjoying eating them, it reminded me of one of my favorite pictures/memories.......

This picture was taken the end of 2004.......

Ryan was caught in "snitch mode"!

the crazy thing is, they weren't even cooked yet -

they just sort of unrolled as he was chewing! It really was funny!

APRIL SHOWERS BRING FLOWERS

This was a fun week -

all on different days,

each of my kids brought me flowers of some sort -

not even realizing that the others had!

I guess they enjoy spring as much as I do!

Flowers from JessicaFlowers from Eric& Nicole

Ryan's - arranged all by himself in a "vase" he found all by himself!

& fresh dandelions lovingly picked by Jason

SOOOOOOOOOOOO SWEET!!!!!!

RYAN HAD A BIRTHDAY - SHOUT HOORAY -

GROWING UP TOO FAST!!!!

A couple of days ago, Jason was trying to get on Ryan's bike, so Jessica asked him if he wanted to learn how to ride. He, of course, said "yes".

So, she helped him on, ran along side him for about 30 seconds, and then off he went...........Seriously? Does he not remember he's only THREE???one small problem,........he can not reach the ground.......

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!!
