Thank you Foster for the delicious eggs :)

I would like to thank Foster Wade for raising excellent chickens that lay delicious eggs, so far those eggs have made a bacon & cheese omelete, a couple breakfast burritos. That's the only good news over here at EWU. bad news, it snowed yesterday. EWW!! Hope all is good? Bloomsday is comin!!!! Jess

Easter with the Bridgman's

Usual crowd at the Smiths. We will inclue Tyler's chip (not a tooth) with pictures too. Oliver is cutting teeth but is keeping a smile on his face and we are all competing for him on our laps. Gramps and Granny are here! A mystery guest is also here, Lawrence Hansen and his son Marvin Walgren also made to check if Grandpa is still kicking. Lawrence is Gramps' childhood friend and fishing buddy. Ate a lot and the egg dying is still in existance. The hunt is going to be challenging as the weather is not cooperating. Spring really is on it's way!

2009 Rodeo Queen Mallory Bridgman rides Saturday in the La Conner Tulip parade!

Hope everyone's Easter is filled with meaning and fun.

What a treat to have Eric and Andrew visit for the week-end!! Here Foster shares his tactics for taking down his opponent before his wrestling match. Andrew prepares to record the event.

Aunt Melinda shares some wrestling tips with Andrew and Eric while Aunt Donna looks on.

Uncle Glen and Eric give Andrew a bull riding lesson.

Andrew is a natural at steer roping and riding.

Andrew checks out the "country chicks" at the feed store.

They almost got loose!

Spring brings quite a bit of tractor work.

Andrew checks out this year's ski boat. (It is green sparkle instead of blue :-) You are going to love it Jessie! A new to us " Charlie's Angels" boat!)

Andrew also inspects the crabbing and fishing boat to make sure it is seaworthy before he comes back to visit in the summer? Or sooner? We hope.

Then, of course there is spring planting. Andrew uses a "dibble stick" to plant some of Great Grandpa Bridgman's Atlantic Giant Pumpkin Seeds.

Andrew also built a "ding" about which you will need to speak to him regarding the technical details.

The whole extended Bridgman family can't wait until they return and bring the rest of the family, Owen, Leslie, baby sister, cousins aunts and uncles. What great fun for us! Jenny, thank you for sharing your grandson! I apologize about how long it took me to get these photos posted. I was temporarily separated from my camera :-(
