Licking a Treadmill - Not Such a Hot Idea

 I caught Jordan putting his tongue on the treadmill belt, while it was going no less, and I ran to get my camera. That's right, I'm a great mom - I went for the camera. Unfortunately I missed the licking shot and instead got the after effects of such brilliance. Mind you he had done it for nearly a minute with no repercussions, so he thought he was good. Unfortunately it didn't teach him not to lick things. 

 'Hey, I can eat a strawberry and watch myself doing it! Cool.'

 'I wonder what it would look like if I shoved the whole thing in my mouth at once.'

 'There we go, it's all in now!'

 'Photographing the finger licking goodness - I don't want to forget this moment.'

'Oh, Mom found her phone! And me! Better get one more picture in before I lose it.'

Grandpa Rod's Wedding

 The cake was cute, but it really needed a little something so Kristin and I decided to add some flowers. I hope that was okay with the bride and groom - it did look much better when we were done!

 Chris Lenker is a photo bomber. 

 Grandpa and Lisa getting married. Uncle Rowe is officiating.

 There was some mad dancing going on. My phone died so I didn't get many pictures. Drew thought he could break dance - if you ask him he can. I blame it on his friend Alex Astle. It was fun to watch all the kids dancing and running around and having fun.

 Sibling picture. Everyone is married! Amanda and Stephanie are both pregnant in this picture!

 Family picture! Pretty sure I won't pull the girls' hair back like that again for pictures. The back was adorable - you'll have to trust me.

 His and Hers kids.

 The guys.

 All the kids and grandkids.

Hakes grand-babies.

End of March

 Jocelyn loves to eat chocolate. I found her under the table enjoying a little fix. 

I took this picture and the kids said: "Aww, we're so cute! You should post it to Facebook for your friends."

Jordan's Creativity

 While doing the girls' hair Jordan kept asking for a pony, so I put one in. He did NOT like it, at all. He kept whining and trying to get it out of his hair. I had to get a picture since I doubt he'll ever let me do that again!

If you don't keep your eye on Jordan at ALL times he will make a mess, or destroy something. We grind rice to make rice flour for gluten free flour making. Jordan loves to watch when we grind the rice. This particular morning he pulled out the grinder and the rice and was trying to get it to work. While he didn't necessarily put the rice in the right areas, he was trying, valiantly.

School Time Fun

 I was in charge of decorating Drew's teachers door for Teacher Appreciation Week. And I forgot about it until the last minute. But, I think it turned out fairly nicely - the kids though it was great fun.

 For Madison's Beary Special Me day she got to bring in a treat of her choosing. She decided that fruit kabobs would be the best! Because you can't really make fruit kabobs early we had to get them done day of before school. Alexis, Drew and Madison helped. Alexis washed and peeled. Drew cut and separated and Madison stuck them. They were all such good helpers and we got them done with plenty of time to spare!

St. Patricks Day

The kids were so excited that the leprechauns came and let them goodies. Mom and Dad thought that they should've left better stuff than they did since the kids ate it for breakfast!

Car Energy

 Sometime my 'new' car doesn't want to turn over very nicely. John said the spark plugs might need to be replaced. Based on the old vs new picture I'd say they did! (And it hasn't had issues anymore either!)

Jordan LOVES to eat cream cheese - plain. Nauseating, I know. Whenever he can sneak into it he does. He also loves butter - plain, and lotion. He's such a funny little man.
