Easter 2008

Better late than never! T was on a business trip and did not home until Easter afternoon so my mom and I had fun taking these photos of the kids....read on!

L with her Easter Bucket in the backyard..love those braids and that smile!
L with her new webkins duck!

Hambone A dishing it out!
How sweet! These two really do love one another.
Let me call you sweetheart. :)
Say cheese!
L's tooth was super loose and she had a great time playing with it...check her out! My mom and I were busting up with laughter because of her silliness...A was totally oblivious to it!
"Let me go"...I LOVE this photo..my little guy at his finest.


Happy Easter!

A Birthday Party for Teddy

On Saturday L dumped out her toy basket filled with stuffed toys and found the teddy bear that my mom bought and made with her when we visited the Boyd's Bear Headquarters in Gettysburg, PA over 2 years ago. She played with it all day on Saturday and made a bed for it in a plastic shoe box with blankets and put it in her bed and slept with it all night. On Sunday morning she woke up and announced that today was Teddy's birthday. So...what are we going to do? Have a birthday party of course. We made a cake, A got his special teddy and we sang to him too. We did not get many photos and this is the only one that is worthy of posting. Happy Birthday Teddies!

A New Family Portrait

WOW! I am speechless. We have a budding artist in our house and he drew a brand new family portrait finely created in black Sharpie marker. Oh, his artwork also made it to his hands. Guess that I should be upset but I am still giggling. Nothing that a little paint can't remedy and that room is one that is on the agenda for this year anyway...

From left: Mommy (the circle in the circle), Daddy, A and L
I don't know what that is on my hand
Hmmmm?
HMMMMMM....
By, the way I went under the dining room table and did this too!
How do you like it?

In other news, we have been sick for quite awhile and need prayer. Specifically for me this time. I have developed asthma and had a horrible attack that I am still recovering from. All of the medications have left my body a mess. Please pray for a full recovery.
Thanks! K

Wishing you a Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year!

We had a wonderful Christmas and are so thankful that we can celebrate our Savior's birth today!

Thank you Jesus for coming for us.

An Unconventional Thanksgiving

My parents and the four of us decided to forego a quiet turkey day at home for 2 days at Disneyland and one at LegoLand. It was crowded but we all managed to have a good time. L was quite the little lady the entire time and there was not a moment that her eyes were not looking in amazement at all of the sites and that she did not have a huge smile on her face. A loved it too but he was a bit overwhelmed with all of the sites. All said, a great time...would do it again! Enjoy the photos!

Us!

Our Minnie on Minnie's sofa

Minnie and Minnie? Awe and smiles :) A and Papa!
Waiting for Muppets in 3D...8 p.m. and we got up at 5 a.m...tired kids!

One of my favorite photos from our trip!

Our sweet boy.

That smile again!
"I loved LegoLand...really I did" Can't you tell?

Cards for a Cause - 1st Group Meeting

Earlier this summer the call for Connections Groups (cell groups) went out at our church and God really impressed on my heart that I was to start one. Anyway, the deadline came and went and I decided that I was too busy anyway...well, you know how that goes...too busy? They extended the deadline and I knew that it meant that I was to be obedient. So...tonight was the first night. I provide all of the supplies and cut all of the cardstock. 3 wonderful ladies came over and we made 24 cards - 12 each of two different styles - see below. It was a wonderful time and we decided to stamp for a couple of months, compile card sampler packages and mail them to missionaries. We will be working with the missions pastor to determine where they will eventually go.

Card 1
Card 2
All cards were stamped with a Hand Stamped by stamp and "Cards for a Cause Harbor Light A/G" was written on them by a group member. Really cool!

Bedtime (my sleeping beauties...well not quite sleeping!)

My sweeties - in bed and ready to go to sleep!

Aaron was given these sunglasses from his friend C and he calls them his sleeping glasses. It is so funny to see him wearing them - everywhere!
He is particularly impressed by the fact that the lenses open out! What do you think??
They are both having trouble with their asthma right now. Please pray for them! It is so hard to see these little ones having breathing troubles and yet they are so brave and never complain!
