One evening while brushing Jaron's teeth I realized that he had two permanent teeth coming up behind his baby teeth. The next day I called the dentist and they fit us in. They had to extract the two baby teeth. Jaron was such an awesome kid. The numbing feeling of his mouth worried him a little but he didn't cry or panic like I expected.
We are so glad we have a zoo pass again. We went to the zoo on the 13th of March and had a blast. It was the perfect zoo weather. The boys were so excited to see the polar bear. We were able to see the seals training, the bears playing, and the otters swimming right up close to the glass.
Then it was off to Gram's for a visit while Mom and Dad had a few days alone. Erick got some really good pictures while they were there.
A word or two about Landon. At the beginning of March Landon completed his masterpiece with Sharpie marker on his grandparents wall. He was so proud of his accomplishment. Sharpie is hard to get off, so there are a few spots where the paint is a little thin. Maybe my parents will think twice next time before letting 4 small children occupy their home. We have since located all the markers and put them on lock down.
For St. Patrick's Day I made green eggs and ham with green milk. any chance to color their food I take, the boys just love it!
Happy Easter all!! I really love to host events and so offered to host Easter with Don's family. We celebrated Gram and Cathy's birthdays too. This was the only Easter egg hunt the boys did this year and I didn't feel one bit bad about that fact. I think holiday's are getting blow up way too much with gifts and candy. As I walked through the store the day before Easter and saw all the people I just thought, this is way out of control! So as long as the kids don't mind then we keep things simple.
On Easter our family also started a fun adventure. The Eater bunny brought baby chicks. We have 6 total. The Golden Sex Links are named Riley (Jaron's) & Kaylee (Bryson's). The Black Autra Lorps are named Tiny (Eldon's) and Gina (Don's). The White Leghorns are named Shinny (Landon's) and Sally (Mine). It has been fun to watch them grow the past few weeks. Bryson's responsibility is to take care of the pets around the house. I help him a lot but he takes his responsibility very seriously.
