Who Doesn't Love The Avengers?

Certainly not this guy who made his own Thanos Gauntlet Gloves in his spare time.

Suki Girl

We woke up Easter morning and Suki had lost the use of her hind legs.  He legs grew more and more limp as the day went on and she seemed to be in a lot of pain.  We were all concerned and worried.  I took her to the vet the next day.  All the kids were crying as they left for school before we found out what was wrong with her.  We weren't sure what was causing her legs to not work.  The vet assumed that she had a compressed spine and she required an MRI to discover where and then surgery to fix it.  They sent us home with some meds to await her MRI and surgery.

As you can see she wanted nothing to do with her pills unless they were wrapped in bacon.  She really stuck her nose up at me!

The surgery was a success and she is about 85%-90% better.  Mostly just a little slow to go up the stairs and she still can't jump up on the couch.  She sure gave us a scare.  We love our Suki girl!

Kayden's Scout Ranks

Kayden was pretty excited when he learned that he was going to be able to join his dad in the deacons quorum and scouting while he was 11.  He recently had his first Court of Honor where he received his Scout and Tenderfoot ranks.

We are super proud of Kayden!

Easter 2019

We enjoyed celebrating Easter with the boys and with family today. 

We started out the weekend by dying some Easter Eggs.  Makes for great deviled eggs and egg salad sandwiches!

Easter morning the boys were reading to go hunt eggs.  But getting them to take a normal Easter morning picture was a chore!

The boys took over 30 minutes to find their Easter baskets.  The Easter Bunny sure knows some good hiding spots in our house!

 Josh was the first to find his basket.  But it still took him a long time!

 

Just as Kayden was holding up his Easter basket, the bottom broke loose and all the contents fell out.  He was still happy with all his loot though.

Jaxon's basket was in a place he didn't even know existed in our house.  The drawer of the laundry machines!

A couple of weeks before Easter, we were able to have an Easter hunt with Grandma and Grandpa Haacke and Becca.  It took them a while to each find their eggs.  My boys aren't too good at Easter hunts apparently!

It was a great Easter and we loved celebrating.  We also love our Savior Jesus Christ and are grateful everyday for his atoning sacrifice.

Spring Tennis

Josh had a great spring tennis season. He started out by playing JV Doubles and then quickly moved on to JV Singles.  He had his ups and downs through out the season and improved a lot.
 

The season tournament came and he ended up winning 3rd place in his JV division!

Spanish Fair 2019

Jaxon and the rest of his Spanish class worked their buns off to get ready for the Spanish Fair down at BYU.  They really wanted to win this year and dedicate their win to Señorita.  They were all pretty excited when they announced that Lone Peak had won.  Señorita's family was there to witness their win and to celebrate with them.

Happy Birthday Jeremy!

We had fun celebrating Jeremy's birthday over the course of the last week.

It started at Grandma Haacke's house the week before his birthday.  We hadn't had a chance to celebrate Grandpa's birthday so we celebrated two birthdays.  They both love the traditional Haacke Strawberry Shortcake.

We went to lunch at The Cheesecake Factory the day before his birthday as a family.  Then we celebrated his birthday after church on his actual birthday:

46 and still handsome.

 The traditional Heavy, heavy hangover thy poor head....

 When I asked Jeremy what it was that he wanted for his birthday he said, "A dog to replace Oakley when we have to give him back."  Jeremy has become quite attached to Oakley and they have become good friends.  So I had another moment of weakness and gave Jeremy a stuffed dog to let him know that once we give Oakley back he could have another puppy.  From the looks of this picture, Suki knows whats coming!

 

Josh took a turn bonking on the head.  Jeremy also loves back scratches and anything he can use to scratch his back.  So I gave him a back scratching kit.

 

Jeremy ended his birthday celebrations by having dinner at Grandma White's house.  He shared his celebration with Landon.  Happy birthday Jeremy!  Your family sure loves you!
