Tuesday

Grandpa Hyde comes to school! (May 6th)

I remember as a child, on very rare occasions, my Dad used to tell about when his dad used to trade deer skins with the Indians. They would make him Indian clothes in exchange. My favorite story was about a pair of moccasins my dad had when he was little. One was hard and the other wasn't. He said one night he had to go out to the farm when it was dark, and he was so nervous. A think an owl hooted and it scared him so badly that he went peed his pants. It only ran down one leg, but that moccasin will forever he changed because of it.

I loved his stories as a child, especially the special occasions when I heard about the Indians. So when Noah told me that they were studying Indians, I told him about the neat clothes grandpa had. He immediately called my dad and asked him to come and talk to his class and show them the clothes.

It was such a neat thing for my dad to do. He really enjoyed being with the kids and telling them about the clothes. He left out the story about HIS moccasins, can you blame him? Noah loved it too. He loved showing off his grandpa, and helping show things to the kids in the class.

What a great memory for Noah to have of his Grandpa!

Micah came and joined the class so she could hear her Grandpa.

This is the BIG ONE! April 11-14

She giggled and got excited at every character she saw. She was the best part of Disneyland for me!
Well, for those who follow my photo life, you know that i have been saving all the money I make from my photo shoots towards taking my family to Disneyland. We did it! Thanks to John winning a trip to California for four which was worth about $1,000, we were able to make it happen without TOO much damage to our savings.

We had such a great time! The best day was definitely the day our California cousins were with us. That was the only bad part about winning the money, it locked us into days to early to know my brother would be moving to California and we could have spent more time with him and his family. Oh well, that just gives us more incentive to go back! We love them so much! Glad they live closer now!
