Easter weekend

First of all I would like to say Happy Spring to all the warm areas of the country.  I wish I was there with you.  Why, you ask?  Can you guess?
If you have read my blog for long you know my problem... snow.  Yes, it snowed this weekend.  It started Friday morning, but that melted off by afternoon.  Saturday morning, however, huge wet flakes were falling fast.  They didn't stop until late Saturday night.  Reports are that we had around 6 inches which took our season snowfall above the previous record.  Yippee (did you hear my sarcasm?).  Easter morning brought blue sky and sunshine!  Thank goodness!  On to the more important events of the weekend...wrestling.


 Can you tell that E is listening to coach?

 This is one tough wrestler...he had a really tough match. 

 Words of encouragement.
Tournament results:
E took 2nd
Av took nothing (young for his weight class, rough group)
Ike took first (better than his club season last year- looked alot like Av's season this year)

 Happy Easter!

I tried to get a good family picture.  But as you can see, they don't all cooperate at the same time.  When I got into the picture...I looked like a giant Amazon woman.  Weird camera angle.  I won't include that one. 

This week I hope to get you some pictures of actual ground at our house.  The weather woman reports lots of sun this week.  With over 12 hours of daylight now, this snow had better melt!
Think warm thoughts.

Eagles and Hollywood Monkey Girl

I know I put a picture of E's eagle habitat on the last post. But here is the finished product.  Fun!


 So, baby O has declared that her new name is Hollywood Monkey Girl.  She was actually going by her full name followed by Monkey Girl Player Outsider.  Now revised to full name followed by Hollywood Monkey Girl Player Outsider Jumper in Puddles.  Please note the change and remember it.  I have experienced the exasperated sighs when I have forgotten.  It is not pleasant. 

Yes she is wearing black cowgirl boots.  They were given to us and are two sizes too big.  Apparently it doesn't matter.  Also, we started getting some of our spring and summer clothes out.  She insists on wearing all summer dresses around the house.  I can't complain there.  I want to wear my summer dresses too.

Jump over to my craft page and see what fun things I have been whipping up lately!
Happy Easter!
