Bangin' Easter Traditions

I'm sure some families have traditions that are solemn, special and well....traditional. We don't roll like that here in the Peck house. We go shoot guns. Dan has quiet the collection of guns. He likes to bring them out every so often to keep them "fresh." We like to take advantage of that time.

He's instilled the fire of hunting and all things manly in Koen. Koen's proof of hitting his target.

Daradie even got on in the action. She was a little hesitant at first but that Annie Oakley quickly came out.

I even had to give it a whirl. (It might help if I keep my eyes open.)

Terrific Tree House

If you have been hiding under a rock then come out! Go visit the fabulous Tree House Museum in Ogden, Utah. My kids love it! They just can't get enough of all the magic storytelling and imagination going on in there.

Ohhhh, the Joys of a Mom

Message typed on the computer from Daradie: Dear Mom, I want my ears pierced, but Dad said no. Breakfast conversation:

Daradie: Can you make me home lunch tomorrow for school?

Me: Are you sure? This week you're having all the food you like if I remember right.

Koen: Maybe they'll fill your tray with sugar. You LOVE sugar.
