Spring Fun!

Spring's here! The weather has been warming up, and we've been cleaning up the yard and having fun outdoors!

Cameron went fishing at Shady Lakes where he caught the first AND the biggest fish of the day! We cooked them up and they were delicious!




A few weeks ago, Cody "found" a special treasure map. Cameron determined that it was a map of Old Town, and so we went on a treasure hunt. Cameron discovered that when you folded the map, you found the clue as to where the treasure would be found - in the carved hallow of a special tree. Click here see more photos.




Cameron and Gordon's cousin Haric and Aunt Kjesle were in town a few weeks ago. Kjelse has posted several photos to their website. Here's the link. You'll see many photos of the boys together, along with photos of Cody's birthday celebration.

Cameron has been zooming around the cul-de-sac with no training wheels! He's doing a great job on his bike! He also also gotten to 13 jumps on his pogo stick!



And finally, Gordon has taken a couple recent trips to the urgent care. He fell off the hammock at his Gammie and Boppa's house, and a pyracantha thorn became jammed in his arm. It broke off, leaving about 3/8 of an inch of the thorn buried in his arm! He was a trooper as the doctor numbed him up and dug the thorn out. A week and a half later, he fell and hit his upper gum and lip, which bled profusely. This time, though, his mom was not such a trooper! I have a terrible time with blood, and fortunately Cody was able to be home within minutes to help. (I was feeling rather faint. . .) Gordon is healing up, and we're just hoping that his front two teeth don't turn dark as a result of the fall. Time will tell . . .
