The Mustang

There were 2 videos I wanted to post from the kids outing this afternoon - but the 2nd one just won't seem to take. So we'll have to do with 1 for now....

Christine bopping her head to the music

Sad to see the SPARKLES go???

I, Jessica, am probably the least sad to see these darn things go. The sparkles (also known as glitter or small square shiny pieces) fall daily onto the carpet, giving the disco ball effect all around. Many times have the kids been reprimanded for throwing balls or balloons up at the ceiling and then laughing as the sparkles fell down all around them, covering our couches, walls and their hair! I've vacuumed up far too many sparkles, but yet I still see millions when I look up.

While on our upcoming vacation, new ceilings are being put in and the sparkles will be no more... Bye Bye SPARKLES!!! So sad to see you go...

Back at gymnastics - Josh's first time

The video is a bit blurry - but if you could just suffer through 11 seconds of it - the hopeful laugh will be worth your while!

Ryan's smell test

In school, Ryan's been learning about his 5 senses. The other day, we had a "smell test". Do these things smell good or bad? and Can you determine what the smell is??? He kept trying to peek!

A pirate's life for me

Is it just me, or is Josh too pretty to be a pirate???

Josh's other birthday party

We celebrated Josh's birthday again - on the actual day - by singing happy birthday and eating a specially made Batman cake!

Just another day

I had promised more VBS pictures, but regret to inform you that I only have 1. Not many photo ops during the closing program. Ryan stepped out of his shell that week and volunteered to hold the American Flag during the opening program one morning. The kids had a great VBS week! Thanks to the teachers for all their hard work!
We made another day trip to the beach - it was a wonderful day! Below Josh is "making meatballs".
Ryan is on the boogie board with Rebekah gripping tightly - waiting patiently for the next wave. It was a calm day in the water - perfect for a 4 year olds first time in the "deep end", as he put it.
This video cracked me up! Can you tell what happened? Poor Christine...

I told Ryan to pose for a few pictures and this is what I got!
