The Month of March

I did some consignment sale shopping and found lots more lincoln Logs for next to nothing.  The kids had fun making a ranch with dad.

Somehow, I missed getting pictures with our first visitors of the month--Uncle Justin and Aunt Emily came and spent a couple of nights and brought their dogs.  The kids LOVED having the dogs to play with, and now all Macy wants for her birthday is a dog.  We are so glad they came.

Our next visitors came and spent a couple of nights with us during Spring Sing weekend.  Case loved his friend Max, and enjoyed feeding him some of his breakfast.  As you can see, Max did not mind.  Case learned how to say, "Maa."

Case LOVES buttons ("buttees" as he calls them).  He likes to get the remote controls and push the buttons.  We try to keep them away from him, but he still finds them on occasion.

I love this picture of Mason.  He is dressed for church Sun morning (minus the glasses and gun, of course).  Jarett and Macy LOVED having Mason come visit.  We can't wait to take a trip and visit them this summer!

Macy has become quite the little reader.  Here she is entertaining Max and Case with some books.

Our next visitors came during Spring break, which was a week before ours.  I had fun taking the day off Sonshine School and going to the Science Museum till it was time to get Macy to school.  We hope Nana and Grandpa will come visit again soon.

Mon and Tues of Spring break, Macy and Jarett attended Safety Camp.  Here they are earning their certificates from the fireman.

Here are all the kids that went to Safety Camp.

Case did not go to safety camp, but he enjoyed getting to hang out on the fire truck.

Here they are hanging out on the fire truck

Here they just finished "driving the fire truck" to the scene of the fire.  They are answering a safety question from the firefighter.

Here is Jarett pulling the dummy to safety "out of the burning house."

I love Jarett's tongue, here--when he is really concentrating on something, he sticks out his tongue.

Case hanging out at the playground at the firestation.  The kids got to play for a little bit after they did safety challenge.

Our next visitor's during Spring break were Colby and Andrea.  It was nice enough outside that the kids played in the hot tub.  Sweet Case had fun standing next to the hot tub and getting splashed with the water.

March 19th, we got to take a trip to Cordell for the day and visit Paga (or "Paba" as Case calls him) and go to the farm.  When we got there, Case went straight to Paga and hugged him for about 10-15 minutes, solid.  It was so sweet, and Paga enjoyed every minute of it.

Aren't they a handsome pair?

Here is the farm.  The lake is nearly dried up--so sad.  Western Oklahoma sure needs rain.  

Case wanted to "Drive" the Kabota.  He is smiling big here, because he figured out how to beep the horn--he was really proud!

Macy was an excellent driver.  Jeremy worked the pedals, and she did everything else.  Macy LOVED the farm!  For news after Spring break she told her class about visiting the farm in Cordell.

Since it has been so dry, Grandad goes to the farm to water the pecan trees he planted.  Here Jarett is helping grandad

I love the look on Jarett's face as he tries to lift the bucket full of water.

Here is my smiley boy.  This was taken last Sun.  He had a fever and could not go to church, but after taking some Motrin, felt pretty good.  If I had to guess, I bet his fever was due to cutting his incisors.  That boy is really getting a mouth full of them.

Macy is listening to Jeremy's i-pod.  She really liked the band U-2.  Jeremy was listening to it while doing taxes, and let the kids take a turn hearing the music.

Jarett celebrating St. Patrick's Day--he made this Leprechaun face at school.
