Baking Brownies

Emma and I enjoyed making brownies!  Anything chocolate is always a winner in our home!

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!!!
