Mug Shots?!?




No, they are Passport Pictures, but they sure look like mug shots!---We are planning to take the whole family to Honduras in mid May. Our goal is to teach our children, while they are still young, the importance of sharing the Gospel of Jesus with the whole WORLD.....in the next few months we will be teaching them songs in Spanish so that they can share Jesus in their own special way!---Our good friends the Williams family (of 5), will be joining us. Please keep us in your prayers as we work out the details of this trip.

Our 1st Tooth-Loosing

The other day we noticed that Harry had a new tooth growing behind one of his front bottom teeth. We knew it was loose, but didn't realize that it was being "pushed" out; Harry said he had thought the new tooth was a piece of popcorn stuck in there.

After hearing about the "tooth-fairy", Harry REALLY wanted his tooth to come out! I suggested that he bite REALLY hard into an apple; which I have to mention that Rich REALLY did not think this would work. The video at the bottom of this post documents the experience.

Harry put his tooth in an envelope, addressed it to "Tooth Fairy", and put it under his pillow. He was SOOO excited the next day when he discovered $3 in the envelope. He started asking lots of questions about the tooth fairy, so I had to explain to him that I was his tooth fairy; and that every little kid has their OWN special tooth fairy...their mommy! I think he was relieved by this news, the thought of some strange woman in his room, reaching under his pillow kinda weirded him out!---This was an exciting event in "theBLUNTtribe", our first tooth loosing. I must admit it was kinda emotional for me...they are growing up SO fast now!

At first we couldn't find the tooth. . .Rich ended up finding it INSIDE the apple!

JJ's 4th Birthday!

Saturday was JJ's 4th birthday! He wanted chocolate
cupcakes with GREEN frosting (his favorite color).

He recieved a few Transformers, which he was SO excited about! Harry made sure to give him all the 'Stats' on each character.


Here is a hilarious video of JJ freaking-out because one of his 3 balloons, that daddy got him, floated away.

Bird Watching in Our Backyard

The other evening while in the backyard and the boys kept hearing a "noise", they asked Rich what it was & he spotted a woodpecker on our telephone pole. It was AMAZING to see him so close & to get to explain to the boys what he was up to. As you can hear in the video, we have a variety of birds that visit our backyard, needless to say, we LOVE our house!

Party Time!

On Saturday we headed over to the other coast
for my nephew Isaiah's 4th birthday party.He did not know we were coming, so he was surprised & excited to see Harrison.

Before the party started I got to give the twins (Marcus & Jason) each a bath. They are 3 months old now & cute as can be!


Let's get this PARTY started!
Needless to say, JJ was ALL about the "blowers".


Superman never had a chance. . .



Isaiah is a THOMAS enthusiast (to say the least), all his train sets were set up on the back porch. JJ spent most his time in there, he LOVES trains.


My grandparents (my mom's parents) were at the party too! The twins were VERY interested in Great Grandpa's 'Donald Duck' noises.

My Great Aunt Jeanine (Grandma's Sister, far right) & Uncle Fred joined us as well. It is always a blessing to get to spend time with relatives that aren't a regular part of our lives.
(My brother Joel & Kendall are in the center)

I just had to share this photo. . .I came across this character on my LONG trip over (2.5 hours). He made part of the trip a little less boring. . .YES, that is a DOG cage, with a LARGE dog I might add, on the back of his motorcycle!
