The Hair

So anyone who's been around our family the last 6 months will know that Brody's hair is a sore subject with all of us.  He insisted during hockey to have a mullet. Yep a full mullet.  We questioned why why why,  but we agreed (Brad forced me,  he said Kade..... this is one less thing to fight about) to let him go ahead and grow it as long as after hockey we could cut it... he kinda agreed.

So hockey came and went but the mullet stayed around... Anytime a haircut was brought up everyone ended up mad and storming off.  I tried to cut it once and trimmed it and it looked better for a day then it grew back...

We are not sure why Brody is so insistent on growing the mullet.  Last night was Brads final draw.  Everyday this week we've talked about cutting it and everyday this week ends in tears.... (pretty much from me)  cause he won't cut it.  Anyway last night we did it...... Brad forced him to cut the Sampson Hair....

Don't tell him i posted these pictures...

This was the before....

During

After

So much better... And Brad softened the blow by saying... B now you can start growing it out again!

He's forgivin' us this morning... But I'm not goin' lie it was touch and go there... I thought we would wake up to a miserable kid again this morning....  Our Sampson! 

Easter 2012

So this year Easter we spent at home... We got home from our Kelispell trip on Saturday night so the easter bunny was able to come on sunday.... After church.  The kids were all really excited.  I was excited cause I was able to get everything down in the states so it was pretty cheap and lot's of fun stuff. 

The Little boys were so excited about it.  Even more excited when they saw the note from the Easter bunny.  Blazer and Knox did'nt go to church... they both had a wicked cough...So they were hidding out in the bedroom while the easter bunny dropped of his goodies....  Blazer looked out the window and could hardly contain himself... The kids and I came home from chuch and the first thing we hear coming through the Door was " B...(brody) the easter bunny came and pooped out eggs all over the yard!!"  I think he got that from a easter movie they had watched.  Funny non the less.

So the kids checked out there baskets and then out they went for a easter egg hunt.  It was a great Easter sunday to spend together.

Ready for the bunny poop hunt

Yes Brody is wearing winter boots.... No there is no snow....

Easter Trip

So for Easter we had the plan to go to Utah...... But we decided to scale back and use half the money we saved to pay off a bill and we decided to go to Edmonton... We were so excited to go...but then Brad got sick. Now I'm not talking a cold sick...i don't think I've ever seen him so sick.  He's a bit of a baby when he's got the sniffles but he didn't even have time to be a boob about it, between running to the bathroom and the amount of time he spent in there.  Poor guy.  So by the time Thursday came he had quit running but still felt crappy.  I decided we better not go infect Family up in Edmonton so instead i dragged Brad to Kelispell. 

Our first stop was at the "The Vortex".  The kids enjoyed it.... It was kinda weird.  I remember going to something like that when we were kids.  Anyway after that... I forgot i had the camera.  We went to the show.  We did a bit of shopping, ate, and went to the family fun center.  And that was about it.  It's such a beautiful drive out there... it was well worth the trip.
