Opa's truck


Owen was given a very special gift this weekend - a handmade truck and trailor made by Opa.  A few weeks ago we celebrated Opa's 80th birthday.  Everyone was asked to take things to share that Opa had made for them.  A few of the grandsons took their trucks that Opa had made for them when they were little boys (most of the grandsons are not so little anymore!)  I'm not sure who mentioned it, but it was 'suggested' that it might be nice for Owen to have a special truck made by Opa too!  So, this Sunday, Opa presented Owen with his very own truck and trailor!  Needless to say, Owen was thrilled.  He has already spent hours filling up the back with the blocks that came with the truck, with his others cars or whatever else he can find to haul around!  What a treasure!  Thanks Opa!

Spring flowers

 My mom and I and the kids went to the Bradner Flower show this weekend.  It was a little chilly but we enjoyed all the flowers.  Kendra was thrilled to have a chance to try out her new camera that she bought with her birthday money. 
Owen thought it was fun to smell all the flowers!

And, of course, I now have some beautiful flowers to brighten up my kitchen!!
