Knotts Berry Day

Spring Fever is upon us and a trip to Knotts Berry Farm was in order. Now the girls have all been going a couple of months but today was my first trip. Knotts is such a great place for the kids to cut lose and have fun. I am amazed at how brave all the grand kids...they go on all the rides that make me dizzy to watch at ground level. The little ones that still don't measure up watch patiently hoping that they will grow before the next visit ( Noah your almost there !) I share this picture below because this was an example of one who is not brave yet. One of the only rides I will go on is the Mining Train. We were in the pitch dark and I notice Amery has her eyes covered, she was so afraid and her Big brother Billy kept an arm around her to keep her safe.

Happy Birthday Mr. Primadona

Okay all kidding aside this man is certainly NOT a Primadona, he just loves the word and perhaps secretly we all wish we could be Primadona's ! I thinks he's more like a Farmer Boy always working, dedicated and an awesome Daddy. While looking for pictures of Bill I realize how hard all the husbands in our family work outside of their homes.....it was hard to find pictures of the Birthday Boy because he is always working. ( note to self , take more pictures of husbands) Anyway these are some of my favorite pictures of Bill. This engagement popping, hot dog eating, cowboy kicking....Charlie Brown is Today's Birthday Boy and our family loves him.

Scrambled Eggs Never Looked So Good

James gets some special time with Grandpa and Grandma as he welcomed a new sister to the family this week. James calls his new sister, Rose and loves her very much. He came for a short visit and we packed in as much fun as possible. He was such a good little boy. He was happy the whole time. He reminds of Katie's boys when it comes to eating. A big appetite and a great eater. He enjoyed outside playtime, a mini drumstick, a visit to the Dairy and a special trip to see Great Grandpa Hicks. Its always such a wonderful miracle when a new baby arrives but its extra special when Grandparents get to spend a little extra time with grandchildren.
