Paint Mines

After dropping Olivia off at school mum and I went for a new adventure to the Paint Mines. 

 It was amazing 4 mile walk and climb through some wonderful color rocks.

Mum being a kid at heart, I think she jumped 6 inch's, LOL

Then on the way home she spotted a nest with somthing in it and we needed to go back and investigate what she saw.  Can you make out what is in the nest?  Yes Mother Owl with three baby Owlets, this was pretty cool thing to see since it was my first time.

Easter Day I had to work.  Mom and Olivia went to church and then came to the FIre house for a Easter dinner.  What a great day to celibrate with family.

Betsy Ross

Betsy Ross maker of our flag made great contributions to our country.  She doubted her gift of sewing, even though she was the most amazing sewer in Philadelphia.  She clearly preformed her best and it paid off.                          

Betsy Ross had an amazing and wonderful life story.  She was born in 1752. She had 1 brother and 7 sisters that intensely loved her. She loved school because she good at all the stuff involved with it.  She got married twice and had three children.  She past away in 1898, when she died she didn’t die poor she died proud.                                                Betsy Ross, who is the maker of our flag, was a very strong person.   Her loving mother taught her to sew at the age of 5 years old, and she loved it automatically.  There was a sewing contest at the fair, in Philadelphia.  In her project she had stars but the six pointed stars never looked right.  Her mother taught her how to make 5 pointed stars.   When she grew up, she started a sewing shop sense she loved to sew.  George Washington came to her shop and kindly requested her to make the American flag.  On the picture they had 6 pointed stars then she showed him the 5 pointed stars.  He liked her idea so he decided to change it.  She made the American flag and became famous.

Jon's Birthday celebration

 Jon's birthday os over spring break so I decided to celebrate it before our trip out of the country and after.  He opened his presents the night before leaving and took him out to his favorite dinner, Sushi.
Olivia gave him trekking poles for hiking and I got him a football jersey.

 While in Cabo, my parents got a sunset dinner cruise for all 5 of us.  We ate, drank and danced the night away.  We sang him happy birthday and he got birthday spanks from most.

 When we got home I bought red velvet cupcakes with trick candles.  We sang again and he blow out the candles.  He has had two weeks of birthday fun.  Happy 48th Birthday.

St. Patrick's Day

 I had to work this year on St. Patrick's day so green cookies were made at the fire house and then delivered while no body was home.  Make the house look like a leaparcon came in and made cookies but he was too small to clean up all the mess.  He even kissed the milk green in the frig. 

Olivia thought it was cute, I think she is starting to catch on there is no fairy tale people.  lol
