Three musketeers

 Kaj had a special treat last week.  His cousins came to visit.  Kaj had school but was lucky enough to get to hang out with them after school for two days.  He was absolutely giddy waiting for them to come and pick him up at school.

 Here they are as Kaj is giving the tour of the school.

 Mostly they did a lot of skiing.  It seems that everyone had a great time and improved quite a bit in the two days.  Reese said she dreamed about it and got better.

The proud Gramma Becca and her ski team. 

It was great to see the cousins and we can't wait for them to come back again.

God and Robbers

Last week when Skinner, Bruce and Kaj were moving equipment out of the woods.  Bruce and Kaj were in the truck while Skinner was in the Hahn or something.  Kaj asks Bruce " Bruce why did God make robbers?"  Bruce said "That is a good question and I don't really know the answer to that."  Kaj said "I think God was mad when he made robbers"

Easter 2013

We had a wonderful Easter.  The Easter Bunny left jellybeans all over the house for the kids to find.  Which they did and then they ate them.  We got to Easter breakfast late at the church so there wasn't much there.  Brandi was an acolyte for the service.  Something that she has never done before and she did great.  She carried the cross and then helped serve communion by collecting the used wine glasses.  She seemed to have a really good time.  Afterward we went to Grandpa Jim and Gramma Becca's for Beer Butt Chicken, which was wonderful.  Skinner and I bailed and went home to set up a tent in the shop for painting my car in and the kids stayed behind to play a bit more with Grandpa and Gramma.  They played Monopoly, had an Easter Egg Hunt and who knows what else.  Fun was had by all.  Now Kaj is looking forward to cousins Reese and Will coming up to visit.  Brandi is not really looking forward to going back to school but the next time we pick her up we will be picking out our plugs at a greenhouse in Two Harbors.  Spring will be here sometime!
