SPRING,SPRING,SPRING

ADDY was wrestling with Gage when we were watching him and Tippy... she actually wins more often then naught when in a wrestling match with Gage or Lincoln.
Addy's cousin Lizzy turned 8 and was baptized... the kids loved the donuts outside afterwards.
Adelaide actually sat through a talk during conference... she's smiling in this picture because she likes the music.
The grandkids favorite thing to do at grandma's emptying the canning drawer, and Liam is no exception.
Liam's so stinkin cute in this photo... I love his tongue hanging out.

I love this series of photo's Addy sure grew up compared to last year's hunt. She loved it and so did all the kiddos. It was a great Easter and a fun time with family.

Finally the story of LARRY: see previous post for picture.

I took that pic to show you the size of Daniel's family dog, he's huge. Larry showed up one day and Phyllis already had a dog (this was years ago) she piled some grandkids in the car and because Larry wouldn't get in without their other dog she took both dogs. On the way to the animal shelter Larry was an angel, quiet and nice. The other dog yapped the whole way and nipped the kids making them scream. When Phyllis arrived and the people came out they said "Which dog is it"? She turned and looked at the crying kids and hyper dog and said "THAT one" So a home she went with LARRY. There are lots of stories about Larry and his "scaredy cat" personality. For all his size he's scared of everything and just a sweetie and beloved member of the family. So when Daniel was out playing video games with some friends and family and he heard his Mom yelling "their killing Larry" Daniel ran up the stairs and outside to find two huge Huskies attacking Larry. One was on his neck and the other from behind. Daniel was bare foot but he kicked the dog at the front (and we think he broke his toe) the dog at the rear ran away but the one at the front didn't loosen it's grip, Daniel realizing that, grabbed the dog by his scruff and lifted him off Larry. Holding him and the dog turning to snap at Daniel, Daniel told a family friend Tim to kick the dog. Tim unfortunately missed the first time and kicked Daniel in the same toe (it's really black and blue) Tim did kick the dog a lot until Phyllis said to let it go. The dog ran off and everyone went to look for Larry who had somehow slipped behind the bystanders and went inside under the kitchen table to lick his wounds. The whole family was upset and Daniel grabbed his gun and the boys went a hunting. They found the dog Tim wounded down by the pond. Daniel aimed but just couldn't do it the dog was pretty and just sitting there staring and actually let them pet it. Don't think that he got away with this unjust attack (it had to be unjust because Larry is a lover not a fighter) Daniel held it at gunpoint while Animal control was called. The dogs I hope were severely reprimanded. Meanwhile I think Daniel's wounds are more severe than LARRY"s (I hope he knows how much Daniel loves him).

More to come from this photo shoot in the orchard with little addy
