Birthday's, Birthday's, Birthday's!

This past weekend T turned 9! I can't believe that 9 years has already past. It seems like yesterday I had this miracle! We had a complete party with 7 of her friends that spent the night, and boy that was FUN!

Here they are all SITTING - that didn't happen too often! They decided to watch Hannah Montanna while they ate their cake - YUM YUM!

After going to bed at midnight - they ALL woke up bright and early and started in on their stunts!

And today is Mr. Pops birthday. Thanks to M I have this wonderful photo to share of my loving husband.

Hat's off to you Mr Pops - your a wonderful husband and dad and we love you very much!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! XOXOXOXOXO

Fun in the snow!

We decided before ALL the snow would melt away, and since there has been so MUCH of it for such a LONG time, we would have a little fun. It wasn't bitter cold, and it was actually melting as we were making our snowmen!
First you start with a small snowball and start rolling and rolling, and then eventually it will turn into this.



It's really great if you can convince your sister to help you!

But then she actually makes a bigger snowball than you? That's not right!! Oh well! Now we have two snowballs.
Now that we have two snowballs, we need to stack them. Hmmm - I don't think my sister and I can do this by ourselves, we're going to have to call in reinforcements!
Yeah! It's super dad to the rescue. This is great! M decorates the first snowman. OH how cute!

And then before you know it, we're having so much fun that we now have an entire Snowfamily!!
Ahh - this snowman making is too much hard work - let's go have fun! I know, let's go sledding!
Watch out mom, I can go fast! Here I come!
Weeeeee! This is so much fun!
We had a great day!
Just an update on how fast the snow was melting, last night we came home from church and a couple of the snowmen had lost their heads. Yipee - maybe spring really is around the corner!!

He's 21!!! (Finally)

Happy Birthday Alex!!!
WOW! Can't believe your finally 21! But that just makes me that much older :>( We celebrated Saturday night and at 21 and towering at 6ft something - he's still my little brother! The purse thing is starting to worry me though!
Who's birthday is it? Looks like everyone but the birthday boy is blowing out the candles! Sorry uncle Alex - gotta love the nieces and nephew.

In other new this week - Ozzi got caught up in the chaos... Too many shoes to pick from...all these people make me tired!!! Notice the new do!! Shaven and clean with a sporty new T-shirt!
M has not been well for a while, but she was feeling good enough to give us a pose! She loves the camera!

Have you heard the lastest buzz?

Yep - that's right - it's time to start preparing for Vacation Bible School 2008! The official dates for VBS this year at FBC will be July 7th - 11th. This year is going to be so much fun! This year the kids will be learning to know, speak, and live God's truth. Our key verse is Psalms 86:11 "Teach me Your way, Lord, and I will live by Your truth." Join us this year as we take this tropical trip to study God's word! The Holy Spirit has really been working through me this year to make sure this year is better than ever, and that we would be able to share God's Word with children from the ENTIRE community. I ask that each of you start to pray for VBS this year that God will be working in the hearts of everyone to make this event glorifying to Him.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

So many birthday's today I know, but I have a special one too! Today is G's Birthday and we celebrated last night with an ICE CREAM cake - our favorite!! He enjoyed opening a present from grandma and today we are hoping P makes it home to celebrate. Having a son has been an experience, but I have to say it's been an easy one. G is such a blessing, he has maturity, courage, and sencerity beyond his years. We love you so much G!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY G!!!!!
Also happy birthday to the Henry girls!!!!

MOVIE NIGHT

My kids have been begging to see the new Chipmunks movie, and I have to admit that I was curious as well. I remember the Chipmunks when I was a kid - as a cartoon - now CRAZY things have evolved with animation these days, the movie was so life like. Does anyone remember the girl chipmunks? Anyways, the movie was great. Laugh out loud funny! But it had an even better point and we got to talking about the movie after we left and it really stressed to my kids that having fun is good, but having a family is more important!

What a Christmas Present!

Here he is. Couldn't wait a year for his first Christmas, he had to come on Christmas Day! Here are a few photos thanks to Grams!
