Adventures at Camp!


Here we are at Featherstone Christian Camp, where Dad is the Dean!

Look how strong I am!

Sister snuggles on a lazy camp morning. (Pretty soon the bell will ring and we'll do the salute to the flag and exercises!)

What a neat view from our Dean's cabin!

Here I am trying to get a shot of our cabin in the background. I dont' think my arms were long enough!

Happy Fourth!


Putting the finishing touches on my birthday cupcakes. It's a Hello Kitty party! Lots of pink!

That morning I opened family gifts.

Here's my friend Daisie and my pull-string pinata!

Straws with umbrellas too! It was fun!

Here I am blowing out the candles! We had such a lovely party at the park down the street.

The Giggling Graduate!


Here I am at my Graduation Performance. My crown keeps falling in my eyes!! But don't I look lovely?

We're waiting to get our names called for our "diploma". Next year I'm moving up to the 4 year old class!

This is our dance. It was called "The Attitude" about having the attitude of Christ. It had a great beat and you could really dance to it!

Afterwards, we had 3 bouncehouses to play in!

sister enjoyed them too!

Say Good-Bye to School


Emma, London, Makayla, & Syd at the park the last week of school.
Tuesday was Field Trip Day and we spent the whole day at Lindo Lake Park.

We found a billion ladybugs in the bushes and held some before letting them go.

Field Day on Thursday, where the kids all got to do fun activities, have fruit and popcicles, and just hang out with their friends!

The class presented Mrs. F with a gift certificate for a spa! She earned it!

There's Syd in the middle. She and Taylor (yellow shirt) both won GOLD medals for reading the most in their class during the Reading Olympics.

SuperStar for Jesus!


We always knew she'd be a star somehow! She's always making faces and making everyone giggle.......

So, this was her day to shine! At her preschool, this was her day to be a "Superstar for Jesus!" It is a day where she gets to wear this sticker, be the line leader, and during circle time she gets to share extra things with the class.

Here she is sharing her favorite Barbie, named Shelbie.

Oh man! I get to dress Weather Bear today! This is something I have waited all year to do!

I also got to have the special pointer and help the class during circle time. We learned it was March 28th! (ignore the fact that Mom has the blog all out of order........on second thought, just be thankful she has it done and actually might know what day it is currently!)

Father's Day Fun


Since we love suprises so much, and Daddy is hard to surprise, we worked hard this year! We got together with some other families, and we all kidnapped our daddies after church. We blindfolded them and led them to a "Destination Unknown." First, we drove them around all over in a suburban. Apparently, this made some of them carsick. Oops! At one point, the driver made them all get out and walk in circles on a dirt road, just to add to the confusion. Before this starts to sound like some sadistic torture, we'll move on.....

Here, Sydney is guiding Dad as we leave church. Our final destination is a swim party at somebody's house where we got huge steaks to grill for our guys.

Oops. Daddy still got stuck with inflation duty, even on his special day!

Thank you!


Thanks for coming to my party and celebrating with me!

Oh, what a super fun part!

I love Littlest Pet Shop things!

On my actual birthDAY, Mom and Dad let me open the family gifts at breakfast time. American Girl Paper Dolls are way cool! (can you tell I'm not awake yet?)

I got to wear the honored birthday hat in class at school. My fabulous teacher, Mrs. Flieschman, treated me extra special and all my friends sang to me. Also, Mom and Dad came and had lunch with me at school today!

Birthday Pinata Head Fashions


Well, I'm sure you've heard of this strange tradition....(not really). After our party-goers disembodied the pinata & removed all the candy, they all decided to save a leg, or head, or whatever they could find of the horse. What was it for? Head wear, of course!

Ah yes, this hat came with a strap.

I think the girls were pretending to be unicorns!

They all wanted to take one home.

I think she got the winning piece!


Getting the backyard set up for my Horse Themed party!


Oh, yeah. Homemade cake is my favorite! Mom and I worked on this one together. It's a lush green field upon which my horses are going to run.

Neigh!! Check out these yummy flowers! Ooh....and the grass is super sweet!

Busy, busy morning!

Finally my friends arrive ready for a rootin' tootin' time!

A Symphony of Success


Sydney did a big report at school on Beethoven. That is who she chose as her "Famous Historical Person Who Made a Difference." Along with the written report, she had to choose some visuals to help enhance the report. She did an upright display board with pictures of Beethoven and his music. Then, she played "Ode to Joy" on the keyboard. Finally, she had invited our friend Jessica to come and play one of Beethoven's pieces on the violin. Jessica has been playing for over 10 years. It was so neat!

I can see!

Sydney got glasses for seeing the board at school. Thanks to her wonderful, loving parents, she has inherited their nearsightedness. Ah, well. Doesn't she look great? She's so adorable!

A Family Collage


Are we in Alice in Wonderland? Or an unusual restaurant in Nashville?

Wow! Look at all the stars here!

Aw.....someone to laugh at my goofy jokes!

What proud parents

With Max and Lucy
