March 2011 - Yes, I said March

Since I'm almost 6 months behind, I'm going to catch up in a major way...each day....a new month, until I'm caught up. You might want to delete me from your reader. :) So...in March...we......


Drew on the sidewalk. Caden is in the process of making some quite artistic whales and owls. Mine weren't much better.

Below: close-up of a. owls or b. whales

Answer: a. owls

Caden took a nap with bears

So did Tate, but he was rudely awoken by a jumping bear.

Tate screamed. a lot.

Caden made a monster fort.

Um....not sure what happened here...but it happened in March.

Kids longingly looked outside

Avery wondered why Caden didn't use a spoon

And why he was so happy about having blueberry juice all over his face

made a fort out of bamboo sticks

aforementioned bamboo sticks

went on a nature walk and smelled some flowers

picked a tulip flower from a tree that is no longer in existence due to a large family of beavers... a family who picked the wrong house to vandalize...a family who cut down their last tree

avery lamenting the loss of the tree

Tate: pretending not to notice Mallory

Tate: offering Mallory a treasure

Tate: making sure Mallory had tickets to the gun show

remember those colors? :)

In March, we also went skiing.

and made Caden work for his room and board

Tate got his first guitar lesson

He meditated on the finer points of picking

and decided to give it a try

He also worked VERY hard on his mad scientist face. I think you'd all agree that his practice has paid off

In March, Caden also grew some spidey senses and can now climb up walls

Today March, tomorrow April

Cookie's Honduras Visit

Back in January, Ty and Adam went to Honduras with a medical mission's team from Pine Tree, and Cookie came to fill the husband void. She did a FABULOUS job.


We think this look is coming back in style.

Deep conversations over snacks...probably about world peace

Cookie made some good costumes. This is David. Guess who was Goliath....

David slayed (slew?) the mighty Goliath and then took his staff to cut off his head

David was very gentle....

Hooray! Hooray! The Lord has won the battle!

Drayton and Tate got a lot of good cousin time

The infamous Cookie nose wipe...feared by all

This equals complete happiness in Tate land. 2 remotes. What could be better?
