I have had the opportunity to have the kids cousins for a couple of days this summer and here is what we have been up to.

Bailey, Paityn & Keihlin swimming in a cold pond yesterday just before our afternoon storm.

Ken's new lifted jeep has returned home.  The Rangely Rock Crawlers are having a women's' course Saturday morning at 9:00 that Ken is actually going to let me drive in so that we can test out the new tires and gears.  I will have to let you know how it turns out.

Easter 2009 with Bohan's

Hoppy Easter to everyone.  LOL  (here came peter cotton tail, hopping down the bunny trail,) IT WAS OVER BEFORE WE KNEW IT.

We had such a great Easter this year.  Brad, Patty & Emerson flew out for a short visit.  We had great friends over for a ham dinner and we found lots of eggs.  We are still eating on eggs and have another 2 dozen to go.  I am not a big fan of ham and beans, but I attempted to make it this weekend.  They actually turned out okay.  Ken loved them, of course he is a huge fan anyway.  I spiced them up a little with green chilies, onion, etc. and served them with beer bread.  It was a pretty tasty dinner even if I have to say so myself.

Paityn's Second Grade Class takes a field trip to the dental hygiene facility at CNCC. Paityn had a great time and was so EXCITED to see Joyce. Paityn LIKED the first year student she was assigned.  Paityn also go a thumbs up on her home care.

This was my attempt to have the kids do paper mache'. I ended up doing all the mache' mess and they blew up the balloons which seemed to keep them more occupied than anything else. We were trying to make eggs for Easter. As they were drying, the wind came up and blew them all over. Needless to say, they ended up broken and we never painted or finished the eggs. OH WELL.

Keihlin had a fun day at school showing me around the class and demonstrating how to create a tornado. It was fun to watch him enjoying himself and interacting with his friends.

During Spring Break, the kids and I spent a day on a treasure hunt.  Our goal was to discover "Rock Art" around Rangely.  We found some very interesting treasures and learned a thing or two as well.  It was a great day.

HAPPY ST. PATRICKS DAY TO ALL

WE REALLY HAD A GREAT ST. PATRICKS DAY. I COOKED OUR TRADITIONAL CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE USING A BRAND NEW TECHNIQUE AND RECIPE. KEN ADMITTED IT WAS OUT STANDING.

1000 pieces finally come together
