We had to really watch the kids because they not only wanted to find eggs, they wanted to pick the tulips. There aren't many flowers yet because it has been so cold and rainy. Now they say it will snow Friday! I guess we'll enjoy them while we can.

Easter 2011

Five of the grandkids came to our house Sunday afternoon for a short Easter egg hunt. The little ones (Madeline and Grady) didn't care so much about finding eggs--they just wanted to run around outside.

We think they found all the eggs that were hidden. If not I guess we'll find them by smell later on. After the hunt, we all went inside and had our traditional ham and potato salad lunch. I though we made enough salad for an army, but since everyone like it so much there wasn't a lot left. I told them they could eat all they wanted, but cou8ldn't take any home. So of course Kami came the next day to get some of "her" potato salad.

Our Trip to Disney World

We spent the last week of March at Disney World in Orlando, Florida with Chris, Kami, Hannah, Maddie, Kelly and Malia. We had a wonderful time, but now I have to teach another year to pay for the vacation. You'll also notice I have posted a couple of pictures of the Spring Training game we went to at ESPN's Wide World of Sports

Roy Halladay was pitching for the Phillies and it looks like Chipper Jones is back for the Braves. Deb and I had no idea that everything was so spread out. The park is about 50 square miles and some days it felt like we walked every mile. Deb had an electric scooter, so sometimes she let me borrow it--BUT NOT MUCH. Some day it would be great to take our whole family on a vacation together. Don't know when, though.

Miss Me??

I was looking at my children's blogs and noticed that I hadn't blogged anything for over a year.

Shame on me! I'm not guaranteeing anything, but I'll try to do better.

Last time I bragged about two new grandchildren, Maddy Belle and Grady. They are now almost fully grown. (Maybe not quite, but close.)

Here's a picture of the whole Larson clan last Christmas when JC and Carin brought their family home to Utah from Alabama. Note that there's another baby. Kamden was born in October of 2010. We're now up to seven grandbabies and holding. (As far as I know--I'm usually the last to know.)

Now I have remembered my password, the is more to come.

Here we have our two newest grandchildren. Brady Robert Munns is on the left. He was born August 28. The little cutie in the bow is Madeline Belle Jeppsen, born July 13. They are both growing like crazy and getting better looking every day (Just like their grandpa!!).

Getting Ready for School 2009-2010

Upper left: Looking down the main hall south at the new BEHS.

Above: looking north down the same hall.

Left: Looking down Washington Hall, the south wing, as furnitureis being unpacked and loaded into the rooms.

Well, we're in the new classroom wings, just in time for the first day of school. The week before school started, things looked pretty bleak, but due to lots of hard work from construction workers, and staff members, plus students and folks from the community, we're in. The new hallway is the most impressive visually, and Iwill update with more pictures soon (at least sooner than three months).

The steel workers started putting up roof trusses yesterday (May 14, 2009) and by the end of the day had put up the three main joists. Today they are supposed to be putting up the large truss that connects the two classroom buildings together on the second floor.

There's only three weeks of school left so I hope they continue their breakneck speed. I won't be around much after June 3.
