So Stoked

Brendon recently got the opportunity to go with Dad to Colorado and learn how to snowboard. Overall he did really well and picked it up by the last day, but he did take one trip on the sled behind the snowmobile to the first aid station, and he did puke in a parking lot (at least it was in Boulder).

Dance Model

Morgan recently finished her first year on the high school dance team. She really made a lot of improvement throughout the year. At the recent dance banquet she was awarded the "Next Top Model" award for her good looks and the detailed attention she pays to them. Way to go Morgan!

Morgan Update

CONGRATULATIONS to Morgan for getting straight A's in her first term as a 7th grader! She's also recently turned 13 (yikes), made the dance team again at middle school, is taking piano and is serving as the beehive class president at church. You can also find her on facebook. She's a top notch girl!

Brendon Update

Brendon continues to do well in school, is having lots of fun in cub scouts especially on recent campout and raingutter regala (pic above). He is taking tennis lessons twice a week and recently played in his first tournament, he's also taking piano. Next lesson: how to keep his room clean!

Marlee Update

Marlee brings a lot of things into our life :), luckily one of those things is joy. She's got a lot of new things happening:

-lost one of her front teeth, the other one is now loose

-loves riding bikes and scooters

-doing well in 1st grade

-taking a dance class and piano

-Recently found on a graded homework assignement from school: Question "what would you do if a bat flew into your house?", Answer "I would scream and give my brother a wedgie" --Nice parenting =:-0

Kiki Update

Just like the picture, Kiki can be really cute and can also be a pretty scary monster. Guess it comes with the territory when you're two. New things include:

-she is in the process of having some major dental work done (ouch!)

-she is the biggest pack rat we know, she constantly gathers, carries, and stacks toys and calls it "My stuff"

-she is almost 100% potty trained, YEAH! Porsha is next...

-she loves watching Icarly (esp the scary Icarly)

Story Hour

My Dad is such an ATHLETE!
Brendon was given an assignment in school to write a sentence about a few different people, one of those being his dear old Dad. The sentence he wrote is, "My dad is such an athlete he could beat Shaquille O'neal at basketball" :) It's going to be a bummer when that sweet little guy realizes the bounds of my abilities.

Today's Inspiration

Isaiah 40:31
31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
