Spring Break

Spring Break was filled with family!  We spent three days at G&G Ravsten's and Uncle Reggie, spent a day with Great Grandma Wood and spent three days with Grandma Mary and Uncle Karen.  It was great.  We played and made messes and enjoyed the snow, lost a tooth, went bowling, and saw almost all of my aunt's.  I love family and we look forward to seeing them all in June.  I'd also like to get with some friends that I haven't seen in forever.  You know who you are! So, here are some photos to go with our Spring Break vacation. 

Kedzie lost her first tooth!  Thanks mostly to Grandma Kathy who gave it a big yank after I tied some floss around the tooth!  It took about 24 hours of being a snaggle tooth, but one swoop of the tooth brush and it was out.  Mom and daughter couldn't be prouder!  

"Tooth Fairey. Plesu can I keep my tooth foor evr? Thank you! Kedzie" 

 

The tooth fairy let her keep the tooth and gave her a golden dollar as well.  That didn't beat out the $5 she got from Uncle Reggie and the $5 she got from Grandma Kathy, that was one expensive tooth!  She got loaded!  

Here's Grandma Mary...update on the cancer...she is doing well.  Going into her third treatment tomorrow.  She hasn't lost her hair or her vive for life.  Now, she has having back problems.  A slipped disc that she's seeing a chiropractor for.  But, she was great at keeping up with my three busy children.  Glad we could visit.   

One of the highlights of Grandma Mary's are the motorized vehicles.  Alex was even able to drive the jeep.  He can't steer, but he could put that pedal to the metal!   

My future, or not, astronaut children at the Hill AFB Museum.  

This costume used to be mine.  So, I was small when I was small.  What a relief!  Anyway, she looks like a Maori Indian from New Zealand doesn't she?!  Okay, maybe not the hair, eyes or skin tone, but other than that....never mind!

Alex went bowling for the first time and took it very seriously!  He actually beat Kedzie and Ethan!  Kedzie wasn't too happy about that.  But, he was great and loved it!  

Just had to throw this picture in for fun.  My crazy boys!

Things are going well for our family.  I'm still struggling a little bit with my depression, but after some comments by a friend yesterday, I'm leaving it at the door.  My grief period is over!  It's time to move on.  So, we are doing just that.  I'm soooo looking forward to spring and to summer activities.  Checking out what to get my kids involved in for the summer. It's going to be great.  Can't wait.  So, that's our update for now.  

Thanks to our families for a wonderful Spring break!  Love to all!
