I know this isn't the perfect picture ever, but if it would have been clear it may have been!!


It was such a treat to see family...if even for just a little while. Thank you Aunt Gloria for coming.

Here we go...finally the wedding!!

He is risen indeed!!!

News news...

Just a quick note...we got an e-mail from a church who committed to $100 a month. We are thanking God right now!!

"what, what did I do?". Folks, this only takes a few seconds...I do watch my kids.

He has to do it himself.

I think I have a sudden urge of missing Doug.

Off he goes

Last moments with daddy at the airport...a few more words of wisdom.

Hmmm

I was enjoying my little window and washing lunch dishes...la ti da...when I looked out the window at this:






Airsoft guns. Who says they are soft??? I've got the little ones napping, don't worry.

Testing today!!

Yes, I am a blind and prejudice mom who thinks my kids are the smartest, fastest, and cutest ever!!! We are taking a few days to do big tests!

In sickness and in health....

A little collage from the trip. We survived!

Cali cousins...so cute! We love you!!! ...and, um, so sorry we got you sick.

Disney....thanks Dan and Christina...we will never forget!

Yes, this is one of the only pics. Mom stayed out of puking radius for this ride...it was too fresh on our minds after hours of traveling with sick kids.


Roman did "Disney" strong....then collapsed at 8:30....big brother to the rescue.





Smiles all around. Their dreams did come true.

Santa Rosa

Roman was pretty scared to be in lock down with a dog in view. It took a while, and then it was love from then on.








We had a sweet visit with true friends. Thanks guys, u really showed us a great weekend!! It's always been my dream to see these Redwoods!! And, Kim, you put Martha Stewart to shame!!








Can we put our feet in? Ok...our ankles, can we go up to our knees.....whatever, we can figure it out later.

Our dishwasher is broken.

Happy birthday, dear Lukas!

The "pupcakes".





Everybody wanted a birthday candle...why not?






The big day was pretty busy. After cupcakes we whisked them up for our last basketball game. Lukas was a little sick, but so sweet. He kept saying happy birthday to everyone else. We ended up at IKEA...sadly, some 3 year olds are not tall enough for the play area. Grandma kept him happy though with a little treat!

This is mr stinky pants who says he was frozen in the snow...and after some lovin decided to make a snow angel.








It was beautiful and a glimpse of our Mighty God! What a fun week! We did wimp out after a few days without power though and go to auntie's house.

I think I mentioned It this weekend already, but I sure love boys!

Dugouts!

Zayin asked for a hatchet for Christmas...he got the "The Hatchet" the book instead. I guess it's still on his list!


We have had a lot of schoolwork and basketball this week, so the boys were so happy to get out...for hours today. Can't say I minded. Can you believe this? Doug came to get me and the camera.














And even a ghilley suit. I always like cleaning out..so when Darius asked if we could just get rid of these clothes I said "sure". Hmmm, was that manipulation? A needle and thread, glue, and a great imagination and voila. Boys, I sure love mine!!!
