Our big Cottonwood Tree in our front yard was struck by lightning! The day it happened it had been Raining, all of us were in the kitchen and all of a sudden we heard this big thunder and a bright flash of lightning. The ceiling fan sparked and the electricity blinked on and off, we thought that the house had been struck. Erick went out the next day and was saw the tree and thought, that we had more Elk visitors or that the kids had done something to the tree. But then he saw all the bark blown all over. It was all the way out in the street! I hope the tree survives!

Grandma and Grandpa Wright were able to come and visit us for a few days. I think this was their first trip out of town since Curtis had his Stroke. It was so nice to see how much Curtis had progresed. He was able to walk around the kitchen. Payson was in heaven, being able to have Grandma to himself ( all the other kids were at school). He really enjoyed doing puzzles and reading books, and listening to grandma Sing. All my kids love Grandmas songs. Thank you guys for coming to stay with us we really enjoyed it!

This is sad, now everyone knows how long it has been since the last post. Alot has gone on in our family since then, but I want to catch up, so bear with me.

Kassidy came running in to tell me that dad (Erick) needed my help, she had this sick look on her face, She said Mom I think dad is hurt. I was just sick and didn't know if I wanted to go see. Now remember Erick cut his finger really bad a few months back so I am remembering all of that. I went outside and Erick was holding his arm and was white as a ghost, he said I think I broke my arm! So I call my dad to come and stay with the kids while I took Erick to the E.R. Sure enough he broke his arm, just above the wrist.
Ericfk was moving his little fishing boat and tripped and the boat fell on him.

So while Erick was laid up for 8 weeks, we decide to do a few things. We learned to can meat,Beef and Chicken. It is so nice to have it on hand, we also did a beautiful back splash in our kitchen. Erick cut the tiles and I laid them. It was alot of fun to have my Husband home for awhile!

Easter 2009

I think Easter is my most exciting time of the year. It means that summer is just around the bend. I love Tulips because they are the first ones to pop their heads up. I made the kids wait at the top of the stairs until I could take a picture, they were so excited to see what the Easter Bunny brought them.
