Griff's New Bike!

The Old Bike
The new bike!
Griff is so proud of his new bike. Below is the chart we made so he could "earn" a new bike. Notice the picture at the bottom of the chart. I drew a picture of a bike and helmet. Griff added a picture of himself on the bike. It took about a month to complete. If he would have cooperated he could have earned it in just 1 week.

Steph's Birthday-37-oh my!


That is one huge cake! Thank you my sweet Greg for making my Birthday awesome!

Thank you my Mason who bought me the best card EVER!!! It played the song "My Wish" from Rascal Flatts. One of my most favorite songs that I have dedicated to my kids years ago. That card was special Mason!

Easter 2010

Grouse Ct. 6th Annual Easter Egg Hunt!
Every year since we have lived here we have organized a Egg Hunt for the kids who live on our Cul-de-Sac. We bring tons and tons of eggs, all the neighbors bring eggs and we have a huge egg hunt! We always have the kids come into our home and hide their eyes and the adults hide the eggs outside! This is a picture of all the kids at the end of our cul-de-sac! From left to right: Mason Justice, Kirstie June, Kendra June, Avery Burton, Peyton Leak, Caleb Sanders, Samuel MacCallaster, Mason Leak, Aaron Sanders, Griffin Justice, Jake Burton.

We played freeze dance and Hot Egg while we waited.


Griffin ran around like a crazy man finding tons and tons of eggs.

This might be Mason's last year. No pressure Mason, if you want to hunt them next year you may :)

Sweet Peyton! I love this girl. She has it rough around here with all these boys.


Easter morning traditional egg baskets. Every year since 2000 we've had a fun tradition to hide the boys baskets. They wake up Easter morning and go from one clue to the next to find the baskets of treats.
For the record, Greg makes these up. He is really good at it. Here is this years clues:

1. Good morning grumpy-heads, how did you sleep? Well, it's that time of year again so let's find your treats!!! This is your first clue, in case you couldn't tell...you'll find your next one where Joe's dinner dwells.
(kids run down to basement where the lizard's crickets are kept)

2. Well now aren't those critters neat. Look for your next clue where Dad keeps his treats.
(kids run to basket on top of fridge)

3.How far this will go, nobody knows...Look for your next clue where Mom washes clothes.
(kids run to basement to washer)

4. Well, well, well, now don't look so sour...You'll find your Easter baskets where Mom and Dad shower...
(kids run to our shower and find the treats)

They will never get to old for this tradition! It's fun!

AV's GAME!!!

I love these boys!
Face Off! Funny story...Griff and Mason were having a conversation and Mason asked Griff if he was going to "take a face-off in his hockey game?" Griff grabbed his face and said "But, I want my face-on!" Clearly, Griff has some things to learn about the game still!








We had a fun family night and went to the Av's Game. Griff wanted so bad to see a hockey fight and there was not ONE fight. It was SO sad! We had a fun time, even though they lost.
