Birthdays and Normal Life

Happy 87th Birthday to my Grandma Rach April 27th!  Super Oma as we call her here.  We love you and even though you don't get these updates, I know you do through family.  You are cherished.

Grandma Rach and all her babies (thats my momma in the gray, the firstborn).

Grace turned 3, yes 3 on April Fools Day.

A celebratory birthday cake, banana bread shaped into a Minnie Mouse.

Same day and a costume change.

Same day and yet another costume change to match her new doll Maria.

We celebrated Easter and Goodie's third birthday in St. Xavier at our Uncle Rodger and Auntie Darlene's home.

Recycled baby food jars.

Pic with the birthday girl.

Auntie Toni made a gorgeous and super delicious cake for Goodie.  Including fun toys on top!

We used more recycled baby food jars to make sand art.

Egg hunt on Easter of course.  Actually egg hunt one of two.  

Here's egg hunt two.

This is the face of a sick puppy.  She came to St Xavier for Easter too and decided to drink all the turkey grease from frying the turkey.

Liza learned to crawl April 15th and my friend Rosebud took the cutest video.

Tuff and I joined golf league at Peter Yegen,  Me 9 holes on Tuesdays and Tuff on Thursdays.  That is probably the only golf we will get in each week but I will take what I can get.

We have been giving the house a little face lift.  We replaced some lights, fixed some holes and gave the walls a fresh coat of paint, not to mention the main level fireplace.

Before.

After.

Old kitchen had brown and red paint and florescent lights.

 We took out florescent lights and replaced it with a track light and fresh ceiling paint as well as sea foam green walls.

One Heart Warriors is currently hosting Financial Peace University (daveramsey.com) on the Crow Indian Reservation.  The first week was a success.  The class lasts for 9 weeks long.

Tuff and I attended a DIY website design class and learned our OHW website is, well, how do I put it lightly, not what it could be!  Haha.  After the class, we realize we don't have the time to put in to designing our site for improvements (overall design theme, clarity of content, a better logo, etc.) but that we should probably hire someone to help us!  Taking application now and any constructive criticism.

Oh yeah one more thing to add to the load is that we started level 2 of the intensive discipleship training.  Again if you are looking for a program deepen your understanding and hunger for God's word this is it.  OSLonline.org.

Truly we've been sick most of April.  Living as a household of eight has its trials and sick people spreading sick is one of them.

Some bloopers and cuteness that will surely put a smile on your face.

This last picture is precious to me not because of the obvious, a sleeping baby, but because my mom made her that quilt and she loves it.

There is a possible change on the horizon...I'll keep you on your toes as nothing is official yet.  Ahhh!  Don't you love to be dangling with excitement for what's next, like the end of a really great tv episode; TO BE CONTINUED.
