Who Needs Cable?

G1 came up with a new game a couple nights ago. It was very entertaining to watch! G1 likes bumping down the hill and G2 likes crashing into the woods at the edge of our backyard. Good times!

G1's Recital Video Part Two

G1's Recital Video Part One

Here's a video of G1's dance to the song "Come to Jesus." It was very sweet - many of the ladies around me were wiping tears (including this lady). It's not the best quality video. We actually taped the dress rehearsal with our video camera but G1 had a bit of meltdown before it was her turn to go on stage so needless to say, her heart wasn't really in it. And we weren't supposed to video during the actual performance but I was able to obtain this bootleg copy :o)

G1's Dance Recital

These are a few of my favorite pics from G1's dance recital last weekend. She took ballet this year with a dance company called Leap of Faith. They not only teach the kids to dance, but more importantly they teach them how to worship Jesus through their dancing. Very awesome! G1 sings and dances to worship music around our living room on a daily basis so it has been great for her (and me because I love to watch her - when she doesn't know it or she'll stop!) I will try to post a video of her dancing. So far I haven't been able to get it to upload.


Dad brought her flowers after the performance - very sweet!



Gotta love the twirly skirt!

Mother's Day

Can anyone help me get my kids to just smile normally for a photo? There dad has definitely influenced them in that department! Notice the snazzy red porch swing Curt made me for my birthday (and the funky pillows were a gift from Stacy). I've wanted a porch swing for a long time so I was very excited!

April Showers Bring Birthday Flowers

Rainy days are definitely more fun with these umbrellas! And the beautiful flowers were a birthday gift from Erin - which brightened up my rainy birthday. Thanks, Erin!

Car Wash Mania

G2 is very into car washes these days. He asks me to pull into gas stations that have car washes so we can sit and watch the cars go through. It was quite a find when we spotted this toy for all his little cars. He kept saying "thank you" to me over and over after we bought it. He also finds creative ways to make them - like the fringe from Beppe's throw.

MEGA Blog

Well, it is time again for our bi-monthly blog update. Here are a few of the highlights from the past couple months. The first photo was taken on a trip to Pake and Beppe's house for G1's spring break from school. They couldn't wait to mess up Pake's hair!

Beppe made a visit to our house for Grandparent's Day at G1's school. G1 is a VERY competitive Sorry player and she even got Beppe (who normally wants nothing to do with games) to play with her!
