'Resurrection Day' 2008

The girls enjoyed the pagan ritual of coloring and finding Easter eggs on Resurrection Day.

Mexico Olympics 2008

The whole family participated in the Mexico Olympics this year to raise money for the mission trip by competing, judging or spectating.

As you can see, Lee is very proud of his silver medal in the Saw-a-rama competition.

Gracie is showcasing Papa's bronze medal in the "If I had a Hammer" competition. You can't see the medal in this picture, but Grace is the one we all want to see anyway, right?

Maddy was upset that she couldn't be in the competition but she got to try out her skills later. Sign her up for the 2018 Amor mission trip, Josh!

FYI- The dog repellent sprays do not work!

Groovin' Grace (Video)

Nana and Papa took Maddy out for the afternoon so Gracie had us to herself. I think she really enjoyed being the only child for a while. As you can see she was quite giddy! Whoa Girl!

Maddy's "Baby" (Video)

Madeline calls Peter, "My baby", and loves to entertain him. I caught the end of their game but it started out with Maddy showing Peter a book, when he grabbed it she pulled back and it smacked her in the face. Peter thought it was hilarious so Maddy turned it into a game.

'Show Games'

Madeline and Grace love to play 'show games', (internet games based on kids' tv shows), on the computer. This is a rare moment where they aren't fighting over the computer and are actually sitting on the same couch in a civilized manner!

Her favorite animal is the pig...

because they're PINK!

Gracie LOVES pink. She's all ready for bed in her jammies with pink piggies, her pink socks, and her pink flower for her hair. Unfortunately her pink fusser got old so we had to throw it out and make do with the white one. As long as everything still coordinates.

He looks innocent

I admit he's pretty cute, even if he is a trouble-maker.

Sunshine!!!

This picture is from a week ago.
The sun was shining. It was relatively warm, (High 40's?). The girls couldn't resist sitting out in the sun to blow bubbles. We can't wait until summer...we're going stir crazy!
