Spring Weather!!!

Oh we are so thankful for SPRING!!! We have been having fun in the sun this week!! If you don't know us very well, we are an outdoor family and winter about did us all in!! We have been playing baseball outside and running and drawing chalk people and running and going to the park and running!

We even had our first grill out of the season!!! I love it when it is grill weather because Todd cooks!!

Reed had a tragic week however with the loss of Brown Blanky. Reed got to spend the weekend at 'Ma's house because I was on call and Todd needed a yard day pre-spring/summer sports weekends. So Reed went to 'Ma's on Saturday and got to go to the carnival at her school and the 'Ma's park. BUT we did not get home with Brown Blanky!!! If you have a child with a lovey or security blanket or object...you understand. I thought we were going to be driving back to Kiowa, but through the tears and after the tantrum of kicking the door out to the garage amist screams of "Maamaa, Reed -- Car --- Ma's --- Brown Blank --- NOWWW!!" Reed decided that he was big and after a convincing phone call that 'Ma did indeed have the blanket and it was safe. He decided that the Lightning McQueen blanket would work for a day or two. At his every chance he did tell me that the Lightning blanket was NOT brown blanky and was brown blanky still at 'Ma's!?!

Much to his delight, Brown Blanky came in the mail yesterday! Reed was beside himself with excitement!!! He was soo funny, he was really shaking trying to get the envelope open!

All is well in the Hackleman House, now that brown blanky can rest with Reed!
