Madison's 5th Birthday











Madison is now physically 5 years old, however, in spirit she is a teenager! She had a "princess" party and we had about 10 lovely princesses here to celebrate. We made crowns and other crafts, pinned the princess on the castle and other games, and had a great time. She is an amazing little girl!

Science Fair 2010







We love the school science fair! There were some great presentations this year and interesting experiments. We always love the Mad Science presentation and Nature's Critters but it is fun to walk around and see what other students come up with. Alexia did her presentation on monkeys. Lauren did her presentation on lions and Devon could not help but do the infamous "volcano" presentation. He and Lance came up with a great volcano replica. And, if you look closely you will see many plastic army guys around the volcano about to perish from the hot lava. There was a poor guy in the crater. Devon loves his drama!

Uncle Ren


We have proof that Ren was here and not a figment of our imagination. It was so great to see him after returning from the middle east and to have him be in our home! We are so grateful for your service, Ren, and only wish you would move your family closer to us instead of further away!

Birthdays











I have so much to catch up on that it will be impossible to even scratch the surface so I will do the highlights starting with Alexia's and Devon's birthdays. I am sure they good birthdays but I don't remember what we did! We are so blessed to have Alexia and Devon and the bonus blessing is that they are such good friends!
