And Baby Makes . . .

Five! Yes, it's true. In December we'll be adding another little Lee to the family. I am just a few days past 8 weeks, but am feeling sick enough that it's probably safe to share . . . :-)

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 . . .

Easter Sunday

We had a lovely Easter, starting with church, followed by a fabulous dinner at Cody's parents, and ending with long afternoon naps trying to digest all that food! Click here to see photos of the day.

Resurrection Eggs

The boys had fun learning about Easter with this neat thing called Resurrection Eggs. I heard about this idea, and put together my own version. The boys opened one egg each day leading up to Easter. Each egg contained something having to do with the week leading up to Christ's death and resurrection. There was a verse and written explanation to go along with each egg. The boys had a great time with it, and looked forward to it each day!

One More Photo of the Sweethearts . . .

Auntie K (the special, surprise guest at the Sweet Sixteen party!) just sent us this cute photo!

Spring Soccer Here We Come . . .

Saturday March 1st was the first game of the season. A beautiful, sunny day in the 70's. (We had snow flurries today!) The Lions are off to a great start. Cameron scored three goals. It's incredible how much they've improved since last spring.

Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen!

February 29th was Cody's dad's 16th "real" birthday, so Cody's mom planned a Sweet Sixteen party at the Route 66 Diner - complete with burgers, fries, malts, and hoola hoops. We all dressed up in our 50's threads and had a blast.

Three pretty cool cats.


Greaser Boy Gordon. Watch out or he'll give you a knuckle sandwich.


Is this one hip family, or what?
