Time with Grandpa and Grandma Dixon

On June 30-July 5 Grandpa and Grandma Dixon flew up to visit us. While they were here Grandpa build a chicken run on our chicken coop. Todd was a great helper and he thinks grandpa is great. We had a great time and were sad when they had to go home.

My little paniolos (Hawaiian cowboys)

Todd begged to wear these shirts, so we have now been to hawaii through hand me downs. We went to open a gate for Justin and I got lost so we didn't get it open. It was a waste, but the kids got to ride the horse and were very happy about that.

Happy Birthday Justin

On June 26th Justin turned the big 30 and that is what his cake was suppost to be too. Todd put all the sprinkles on the cookies. Luke was in bed by the time we blew out the candles so he isn't in any of the pictures. I think Justin had a good day.

Haying Time

Tooth Trouble

It happened last wednesday. The boys were playing in the family room when all of the sudden Todd started to cry. It wasn't the poor me cry, it was the I'm hurt cry. I ran in there and there stood Todd with blood coming out of his mouth and his lip bulging. His tooth was sticking strait out. Luckily Justin was outside and was able to haul him in with me to the dentist. We ended up having the tooth pulled so we now have two little boys with missing baby teeth. (Lukes is a front tooth, he fell.) Anyway, that is the drama of last week.

Happy 4th Birthday Todd!!

Todd's birthday was on May 27th. That day we went branding and got home late. I always make a fun cake, but I didn't have time that day. We ate leftovers, opened gifts and went to bed. I felt bad but I took lots of pictures. Well meanwhile I lost my camera and the pictures that were on it. So this last week while my mom and grandparents were here we celebrated his birthday again. I made him a lightning mccqueen cake and grandma gave her his present. Here is our fun evening.
