Here is Ella in her Momma And Me dance class. She is enjoying dancing with streemers. She loves to dance and be active in her pretty ballet outfit!
Here We had a little Vallentines party at our house and the girls are making cupcakes with their friend Meghan. They love to help make food, and love to help eat it.
In these pictures Hannah is enjoying her nacne class where she learns jazz and ballet moves. As you can tell she definately has the berry-love-attention genes!
Have you heard the most extremely strange, awesome total Blessing from the Majestic Lord of All that has happened most receintly in our meager little lives? A week ago today (Friday) as I was headed out the door for work, I got a call and this random woman wanted to speak with Erin. I told her she was busy (thinking she was a telemarketer) and asked if I could take a message. She proceeded to tell me that she was calling in regard to a drawing we had entered at the Puyallup Fair (in September!) and that we had won either $1,500 cash or a $10,000 kitchen makeover! I was so stunned that I took her name and number and said I would have Erin call her back, still not believing what I had just heard. Would you? So, I took the phone and number to Erin and relayed to her my doubt as to the authenticity of this call but, hey, may as well call her back and see what the catch is. She called her back. No catch. We win! The people are coming out this next Tuesday to look at our kitchen and tell us what they can do for that amount of money. I posted these pictures of our kitchen so you can see what it looks like before then we will do it again for an what it looks like after. Whoooeee, I'm Excited! Praise the Lord!
We had snow, sleet, hail and big hail, rain and fog this week. Crazy. Here is Ella enjoying some of it in our back yard. See the hose in the back ground? Our dog loves to chey, eat, drag it around the yard as if it was a python that wanted to attack the children and it is her responsibility to protect them by destroying it and every other piece of landscaping we have done to the yard over the past 3 years.
Here are a few pics of me, before all the pregnancy weight started to show, now we don't take so many pics! I'm jokin, I will take some more recent ones, so you can see how big this boy inside me is! Here is a pic of our thanksgiving! LaShae fixed an incredible feast! It was a great time, the one of me on the couch is at Thanksgiving too, with Shi and Matt, Matt's parents are missionaries in Japan, too, Ben, he says that he has met you! Well, gld we finally made it on! Love you guys!
By the way, what do snowboarders and deer have in common? They both have white tails! That's what happens when you fall down, anyway!
This is the girls after taking Mommy, Daddy and Sophie out for a long walk in the snow.
The local library has an Art pass that allows us to go to the local art museum and paint. The girls had an absolute ball, and drew some great pictures too. I think we will frame a couple of them and hang them in the bathroom to contemplate during my down time.
This weekend Jerry, Erin's daddy, is being flown up to Portland to inquire about a job for Cascade Christian College as the head of their financial department. Erin and the girls are driving down to see him. Please pray that this will work out, it would be great to have Erin's parents only 3 hours away (not to mention save tons on plane tickets and driving miles).
