Family Fun

A few photos that ought to make you chuckle...they did me. Up first is our silly kids...aka bag lady, don't know...these are reusable lunch bags and she hauled them everywhere for a few days and as you can see got quite creative with what to do with them.

Next up is headband boy aka wyatt...again where did we find these children...they were giggling hysterically, these were all Hadley's baby headbands that had been tucked away somewhere. And yes the icing on the cake is he was naked as a blue jay...ahhh, if they were only so silly more often.

Since my birthday fell on Easter this year we all got together for dinner...and for entertainment we had a mini Blossom family track meet. Colton thinks he might want to throw the javelin...so of course we had to dig it out and give him a lesson or two. We were lots of talk and .... mmm not so much go. Good reminder of why I had to quit in the first place. We even measured all the throws with a few sticks and an abandoned pop bottle. Oh this was serious Dad made rules, we each got 3 throws, and we had to stay on the cement slab...so as many steps as you could fit. Of course it was killing me to know just HOW far we'd thrown, so we measured our marks off by lengths of the javelin and here were the very precise results: Don ~135 feet, Me ~98 feet, Colton & Dad both ~90 feet. I'm pretty sure I about died right there, not even 100 feet. I swore on the way over if I couldn't at least throw 100 feet I'd be out there practicing next week. I guess at least I threw farther than Dad & Colton :) Guess it's just more proof that there are definite seasons we go through in our lives and sadly this one has clearly passed in mine. Maybe I'll get to coach someday!

And look at the form on Wyatt - By the looks of it you'd think he launched that thing farther than all of us. I think he may be the next natural...isn't that why you're a parent anyways, to live vicariously through your children.

Some really cute ones of the kids dying eggs, they had fun this year. Wyatt was especially tickled that we had spelled his name with the magic crayon!! Oh the small things in life!

And lastly a couple of pictures on Easter Sunday...yes my children are eating their chocolate bunnies in their nice new outfits...not so smart, but it was all good and I just kept taking deep breaths :)

Sorry to make up for lost time, lots of pics, but apparently I'm not going to be super good at keeping this up real regularly...so when it rains it pours (or in MT, when it rains....it snows lots too).

Love to all, A
