Our New Church
Here we are at our new church. We have been going to CLA for about 3 months now! We love it. This picture was taken at Christian Life's Family Night. At the beginning of each month, CLA invites all the families to come and have pizza, jump in jumpy things (it's like an indoor fair) and just have a good time. They prepare a skit and teach all the parents what the virtue of the month is. Then we can be informed what our kids will be learning for the month and how to carry it out at home. WHAT A NEAT IDEA! We had a wonderful time and have met lots of new, exciting, loving people. The kids had a BLAST! They count down the days until each Wednesday and Sunday. They are repeating bible verses left and right and having such fun with it!
PUMP it out!
So--- I have been very diligent on my BowFlex! And loving it! Thank goodness our winter has been very wimpy. As you can see my workout room is practically outside. My kids constantly talk about fitness and muscles. And now, Graham wants to become a bodybuilder first and then go into the military when he grows up. I still can't seem to beat Randy in an arm wrestling contest... but I'm working on it!
A Moon in the Morning
So this may be common with others, but definitely a first for me. Jordan undressed himself in the bed this morning. He had such a look of pride on his face I couldn't do anything but laugh. I was thankful that this particular morning was just a 'wet' diaper. If he does this with a poo-poo diaper I WON'T be laughing!!!
Happy President's Day!
The kids made patriotic windsocks in art class today. We are doing a month of recycled art. The cylinders used for the windsocks are a oatmeal, yogurt and dog treat container! Hope your day was full of stars and stripes!
And you think you have neck problems...
I should give this to my chiropractor and he can post it on his wall with a warning on how NOT to let your children sleep!
20 months apart in age... years in getting along!
The real question here, in this picture, is... how long before she strangled him? I had to threaten Hannah to give Jordan a hug for this pose. It's a love/hate relationship. Hannah can be dominating and Jordan is... well... almost two. Doesn't that spell annoying? The more Jordan talks the better it gets! I'm glad I have proof of them touching without screaming and hitting! (pray for my nerves)
Hannah writes her name
I'm always bragging on Graham and now here is Hannah's chance to shine. She is writing her name at 3! Hurray! She does so well and I have recently discovered she knows the sounds of all the letters, too. Not to go on for too long about my extremely smart child, but she can also label all the systems of the body, recite history sentences about the colonist and speak in Spanish. You go GIRL!

Sugar High
Graham and Hannah made mountains out of Rice Krispies! We are studying mountains in Geography. I assume after all the sugar these two had during this cooking class, this is how they saw the world the rest of the afternoon. To see all the Krispy Mountain pictures go to "My Flickr Collection" at the top right-hand column and click "Rice Krispy Mountains".
You look marvelous
Okay, okay... before you say anything, can I just say Orlando Bloom! I mean, hello, if it can work for him then it can work for Jordan. Nah, actually this is the persuasion of Jordan's sister, Hannah. She wanted me to put a ponytail in Jordan's hair and change his name to Jessica. So I did and they held hands and had tea. It was wonderful in imagination land until Daddy came home. Daddy wasn't seeing the whole Hannah-having-a-sister-imagination-thing very well!
These are NOT cookies
Yes- they look cookies and we mistakingly made them around Christmas time. This was a science project. We were studing systems of the body. Can you find digestion?
Like teenagers again...
It was family night at the Skate USA. We rolled in with high hopes of not busting our booties on the floor. Everyone did really well. Hannah even cried to put her skates back on once we took them off. Randy and I got to skate around a few times holding hands. It was like I was 16 again, skating with the cutest boy in the school. He said I was the only girl he ever skated with. Was that a cheap line? I felt young again. The next morning... not so young! (oh my legs)

Park Time
Here are some random park pictures. We sure have been taking advantage of the warm winter weather and going outside a lot. I say that as it snows outside right now... but it will be 60 on Friday. Stupid weather! So, all these were taken at Seven Oaks, our favorite park. It's just down the street. Hopefully Graham will be playing baseball there is the spring. The kids are growing so fast. I love the picture of Jordan imitating Graham on the field. He is starting to look up to his big bro and do what he does... uh-oh! That could be a disaster!
Happy New Year!!!
We picked Graham up from a long visit with his Grandparents, on New Year's day. He was disappointed that he didn't get to stay up late and party with fireworks on New Year's Eve, so we brought him a little celebration on the way home. Next year, he's with us and we will silly string it up real good... Promise Graham!!!
