Easter Sunday with the Family

After dinner we played the game CURSES - it was a hoot!Grandma Shaw and Keith joined us for dinner.Kyle and Liv - there aren't any eggs in the trees!The girls: Jessica, Kara and Sherstine.the grandkidsJessica made me an Easter basket.She also made these cute little decorations.

Sorry for so many pictures.  Kara and Kent are both gone and I don't know how to do the slideshow.

What Grandkids can get Grandpa to do.......

A little back ground on these pics:   During the holidays, Kent grows out his beard or goatee.  Little Gavin, 2 yrs. old didn't like Grandpa's whiskers.   So when he shaved off the goatee and left the mustach, Gavin still didn't like it.  It got so that Gavin was afraid of Grandpa and didn't like to see him.   So as a gift to Gavin, he went in and shaved off the mustach.   Gavin was so happy!  But when Livy finally realized that Grandpa had shaved off his mustach, she was taken by complete surprise and it scared her!   So funny!

April Fools

Okay, so did any of you have tricks played on you for April Fool's Day?
Kent and I tried to get Kara by turning on the smoke alarm and shouting "FIRE".   It didn't phase her in the least. (If there was a real fire, she would've burned.)

Well - she got us back big time.  While we were upstairs watching a movie with the grandkids, she proceeded to play tricks on us.  She did the following:
1- she got all of our toiletries and put them in our bed so when we pulled down the covers - surprise!
2- she put blue and yellow food coloring in our hand soaps
3- she cleaned out my white underwear drawer and hid them upstairs in her window seat, so the next moring when I went to get dressed - my drawer was empty!
4 - she put cotton balls in my shoes that I wear everyday, so when I went to put them on, my toe snagged on something and I thought my sock was wrinkled, so straightened it out 2x, before I looked down in my shoe and found the cottonballs.
5 - she hid the soap and shaving gel from our shower
6 - she changed all the cereal boxes by swapping the Life cereal into the Honey Bunches of Oats box.
7 - and lastly - she printed out a picture of Michael Jackson and taped it onto the picture of me on my Driver's License.

That girl - she got us good!  and next year if school is in session on April 1 - she better watch out!

(I wish I had pictures to post!   sorry)

Grandpa's Goatee

I had not grown a beard since my 20's when I was outside in the cold framing homes. I thought I would grow a Goatee this past winter since it seems to be a popular thing to have now days. I was going to shave it off on New Years day but Wendy said she kind of liked it so I kept it for another two months. I had Kara take a picture of me the last Sunday of February because we did not have any pictures of it. So any way here it is. Just enough grey to make me look Distinguished, Old or Both.

Government Flow Chart

This is how I feel with the current leadership.

A funny story

This morning Kent wanted to make some hot chocolate before he headed to McCall.  So he goes to the pantry and pulls out a #10 can that we got from the cannery.  (They make the best hot cocoa mix!)   He mixes it up and says it is really thick for some reason.   He got out another mug for me so he could share.  I looked at what he was mixing up and he had pulled the Chocolate Pudding can out instead of the hot cocoa mix - ha, ha, ha.   So this morning - he had Hot Pudding to drink instead of hot cocoa!   Pretty funny!

Yet another photo challenge

Any guesses where Kent took this photo?
