Birthday time

Lane hit double digits this year and is officially 10. In Idaho that is the legal hunting age which has him very excited.


Grandma & Grandpa came over to help mark the occasion as well as several other freinds and family.  Grandma made a great lemon minion cake that was a real hit.


Of course the main event for any kid is the presents!  They did not disappoint.


The other kids got some goodies as well....grandma's are good at that sort of thing! 


Grandpa made Lane a really nice desk that he has been enjoying.  He says it is much easier to do his homework on the desk Than the kitchen table. 


Lane got a new fly rod for his birthday and wasted no time trying it out.  Thankfully we have gotten some warmer weather and we now have snow melting.  The creek in our back pasture made a good practice spot.


Morgan and Logan chose to stick to more indoor activities.  It has been slowly warming but the air still has a bite to it and it seems like there has been an awful lot of rain still.   

So we are ready for a break....Saturday we fly to Hawaii to enjoy a week of warmth and sun.  This has been a trip that has been in the works since fall but I didn't let the kids know until a month ago.

A "pick me up"


This was a "nice" lift that I found going through some of Logans work this evening.   Sometimes I don't really feel like a "nise" dad but it was very sweet of him to see me that way even after not being very patient with him sometimes.

Refrigerator Material

Morgan brought this home a couple weeks ago and it makes me smile every time I read it.


                       And this one as well!
