Last Day of School!

Hannah had her last day of 1st grade today. She made all A's all year long and got a trophy for it. Her Daddy told her if she got all A's every year until she was 16 he would buy her a convertible. Talk about motivation. We think she can do it.

Watch Out Hannah & Morgan!

Baby brother Sam started taking steps last night. He has taken 3 steps several times and I am betting in a month he will be chasing his sisters everywhere. He also started waving bye-bye last week. It seems like he is learning something new everyday. Now if I could just get him to learn to eat without making a complete mess, I would be ecstatic.

Some Easter Pics

The kids with their baskets.

The girls with their eggs.

We managed to keep Tyler and Sam out of the kitchen

during the dying of the eggs, so the mess wasn't too bad.

We did end up with several dyed fingers.

Easter Bunny 2009

So, I convinced Wil to go to the mall with me to get the kids picture taken with the Easter Bunny. We waited in line for an hour and a half, and thankfully Morgan didn't balk when it was our turn.

Down we go!

Hannah and Morgan took Sam for his first time down the slide last weekend at the Ranch. He loved it. I can't wait until he is old enough to climb up the ladder and slide down all by himself.

Thanks HaHa, DeDe, Ryan, Jack, & Callie

The kids got their Easter Surprise in the mail today. They all loved it. Thanks.

A Turkey's Job

Yesterday after work Hailey and Tyler went for a drive with me to check Papa's cows and the grass. Here is part of our conversation:

Lizz: Guess what I saw this morning?
Hailey: What?
Lizz: A turkey, on the way to work.
Hailey: Where does the turkey work?

In retrospect, she was exactly right to ask. I should have said I saw the turkey when I was driving to work. After I explained this here is the rest of the conversation:

Hailey: I have never seen a turkey.
Lizz: Sure you have, it is a big bird. We eat them for Thanksgiving.
Hailey: I don't like us to eat turkeys. We should not kill them. They say cock-a-doodle-doo and wake us up in the morning. We shouldn't eat them, it's not nice.
