Grandpa Denny: You've Been Replaced!!

Yesterday at 7:30 am Landon came running into my room "Mom, get up, there's a grandpa here!" Tommy, another wrestling coach, had come to help w/ the deck...Landon hung out w/him all morning, calling him Grandpa about every 30 seconds...

Happy Easter!!!

The Best Gift? A huge chocolate Bunny.

We had a great Easter. I think the best part was that when it was all over we didn't have to drive 3 1/2 hours home for once. We had the Wells family over today to celebrate. It was a great day. We grilled burgers, had an easter egg hunt outside, and played a little Wii. Yesterday we went to St. Cloud to celebrate w/ my side of the family. We grilled steaks, played cards, and went swimming at Uncle Jake's place. We had a great weekend w/ great family!

Easter Eggs

Thursday night we colored Easter eggs. This year's theme: Star Wars. Landon did well coloring the eggs, however, as you can see from the picture of his hand, he still managed to make a mess. We thought he was maybe turning into Shrek for awhile there. We had the Wells family over for Easter, so Landon made a Star Wars egg for Grandpa Don, Grandma Karen, Auntie Em, Cousin Chloe, and Mom and Dad.

Master of the Diving Board

Landon had been eying the diving board at swimming lessons for four weeks, and he finally got his chance to master it! He was SO proud to show me that he could jump off w/o any help. Now its hard to get him to do anything besides jump off the diving board. Does Swimming season conflict w/ wrestling season? If so we may have a problem!

Let's Go Fly A Kite!!!

Today was a litte chilly outside, but a great day to fly a kite. Landon and Cody (neighbor kid) had a blast flying the kite for about an hour. Isn't it weird that this morning we woke up to a couple inches of snow, and this afternoon we were outside flying a kite?

Spring Fever!!!

Today was gorgeous outside and we took full advantage by riding bike, going to the park, and grilling super. It gave us all Spring Fever. I think I'll die if we have another snowstorm this year, I'm so ready to spend time outside. I even opened the windows for awhile today, it felt great. As you can tell above, Landon would live outside if we let him. Maybe we could just get a dog house for him? I'm already going through the depression I get every summer when my family stays home and I go to work. Today was a horrible reminder of what I'll be missing. I guess I'll have to come down with a couple illnesses this summer and use all my vacation days before the nasty winter returns. Today was a great! I don't know why I live in MN. Mom and Dad, why didn't you move us to AZ or FL when we were younger? I blame you both.

Landon the Fish

Landon started swimming lessons again, and of course loves every second he's in the water. Each week he gets a little more daring. One kid in the class likes to get out run to the deep end and jump in to get his parent's attention. It makes feel like Landon is maybe normal afterall! At least

he's not psycho anyways! I'm sure he'll spend a lot of his summer in the water.
