Spring Break Fun

Loan's House
Nixa, Missouri
(I have a Vietnamese Grandma!  My dad's Dad married her in Vietnam before I was born.)

Josh and Tanner love being out on her farm "helping".

She's always getting things done.  This trip Eric helped her cut down a tree!

She's 73 yrs. old and is in better shape than me!


Emma and I stayed inside where it was warm and safe!

Grandma Loan shows the kids how to roll egg rolls!

She ALWAYS takes a picture with the peace sign:)

The kids did a great job!  After this we fried them and ate them so quick I didn't get a picture of the finished products!  But, trust me, they were YUMMY!

Mom and I went to Arkansas Children's hospital on Thursday and got another laser treatment for Emma.  It's been over a year since she's had one.  (This is a picture of her after we put her numbing cream on her face.)  We have to cover it with plastic wrap so it doesn't rub off for an hour before the treatment starts.

Here we are outside the hospital just minutes after they did the treatment.  All done!  This will be the last treatment for a long time. Her doctor said we will need to come back for more, but if this treatment does a good job then we are going to take a long break.  We might not go back until she's 9 or 10yrs. old even!

Emma and I dive into the chocolate!

Spring Break was a MUCH needed break for our family!  We had a lot of fun time together!  Josh wants to go to another movie tomorrow, so if the predicted 14 inches of snow doesn't fall tonight, maybe we can keep the FUN going a little longer!!!

The Pumkin Patch

I took way too many pics, sorry! We really had a great time though!

































These puzzles were spread throughout the next maze.







We had fun racing each other in these wheelbarrows!

It's harder than it looks!





























This was Emma's first Pony Ride. It was her favorite part of the whole day! Can you believe they let her ride by herself?! I have to admit, my heart was racing a little when he stuck her up there and walked away! But I could tell she loved being a "big girl" and doing something "by self" as she would say.


They didn't even say anything when Tanner rode with no hands! He thought he was big stuff.


And they were generous with the time they got to spend on the ride. The kids went around...



and around...

and around...


Before we left, we got to pick a pumkin!

Perfect!


The boys decided to give Emma every tiny little pumkin they could find!


She thought that was great!


I can hold them, Mom!


Ohhh, another one!

How about this one, Honey?

Kamron is so stinkin' cute with his pumkin!



Tanner couldn't decide on just one.

We had so much fun, Emma didn't want to leave!



We'll have to come again next year!
