happy birthday alysha

Can't believe my "little" girl is 14 years old, sniff. We had a small party for her on Sat. eve Dale, Amy and kids and Doug & Mattie and their family came down for burgers on the grill and Amy made the b-day cake (thanks). Tonite I cooked her favorite dinner: poormans steak, mashed potatoes and green beans, yum!

boy scouts

The boys spent most of the day out in the woods. It was a beautiful spring day. They were having so much fun exploring and starting a fire, yikes!

safety first, they filled a bucket with water in the event the fire got out of hand.

lego magazine

Every day when we stop to get the mail, I hear "did we get a lego magazine?" Well, wait no more. They forget about everything else and pour over the magazine for hours. It's like Christmas comes every 2 months. However, I love legos they are good for the kids to be creative and use their imagination. I think they will be engineers when they grow up.
