Beautiful day for a soccer game

Happy Easter!!!!

Playing again

Pulled out the fiddle, tuned it up, dusted it off.... Got David to do the same.... taught Kenneth the guitar, even drug out dad's bass.....  So. Much. Fun!

Quote of the day

Caitlin said yesterday after trying on Daniel's glasses, "Mom - the world without glasses looks like a painting, and with glasses, it looks like a picture." Sweet girl....

Smart kids

Daniel and Caitlin tested in january and were both invited to participate in the advanced classes st school next year.

Glasses for Caitlin

Caitlin has been complaining for a long time that she can't see very well.  After taking her in twice, we finally switched eye doctors.  Sure enough, she needs glasses.  She chose some darling purple frames...they should arrive in 2 weeks.

Who says they won't be friends?....

So sweet.......best friends.

Someone asked me once if kids were more than 2 years apart, would they ever be friends? Well, these 2 are 4 years and 3 months apart and are inseparable these days. I love it.

Christmas play

Front Sight

Steve & I spent 4 days in the Nevada Desert learning to use a handgun. We had a great time and we learned a lot. We were exhausted at the end of each day from standing outside and learning so much information, but we are glad we went.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

Everyone at our house was excited about St. Patrick's Day this morning! It started with a green breakfast of eggs, pancakes and milk. Each child carefully planned their outfit (except Patrick - his PJ's just happened to have green on them). All of my life St. Patrick's Day has been especially fun because it's also my sister, Angela's birthday. This morning the kids pointed out that now it's extra fun because we have a PATRICK!!! Cool! Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

Is this not the coolest tree ever? This tree is near Crescent Lake on the Washington Peninsula. We played on it when we visited last August. So fun! Look at all that moss!!!
