Landscaping

Our landscaping was in desperate need of some TLC. It was way too overgrown and way too many things in one place. We decided to just tear everything out and start over, much to ours and our neighbors satisfaction. We also decided to start simple and plant grass and just a few bushes. We may add some flowers later, but we're happy with the results. We also had to replace the basketball goal which the kids were thrilled with. The other one was 18 years old and began breaking with every shot!

The Three Pig Symphony

Meryn's class did a wonderful performance of the three little pigs. It was so cute and very entertaining. She had fun and we were proud of her. Can't wait for the next one!

Spring Soccer 2010

The twins still love soccer and both do very well at it. Brendon played goalie and had some awesome saves. Caleb plays different positions but they both love to play forward and get opportunities to score.

Meryn told me she thinks she needs a break from soccer and wants to get back into gymnastics again. I guess it's not as exhausting and a lot cooler

Trevin gets his braces off

Trevin is done with his first set of braces and will get new ones in the next couple of years. They corrected his cross bite with the first phase, but became very straight too. So maybe we could get lucky and not need phase two, but not likely since he has about six permanent teeth coming in.

Easter 2010

We had a great Easter! Great church service, beautiful sunshiny day, a delicious lunch, lots of eggs for the kids to find, time with family, and best of all a risen Savior. My sister took the pictures of our family so I will have to add those later.

this is how they fix it! They both hate turkey tails.

Why I should not go to church after working night shift!

I worked 7p-7a Saturday night and decided to go to the 8:30 service this morning before going to bed. Well that did not turn out to be such a good idea! I went with my friend Mandy, who had worked all night too. I started struggling the last 15 min of the service and had a few thoughtful nods for our pastor, but if that was the only thing, I wouldn't feel SO embarrassed! Well at some point he asked us to bow our heads and that's the last I remembered. Until I woke up all of the sudden and for some reason, through my nodding off, heard something about raising your hand and without any thought of why or what was going on, I shot my hand up and then down. As soon as I did that I thought, that's weird, I wonder what he was talking about and what I raised my hand to. He did go on and I was completely awake now, so I listened and he then asked anyone to raise their hand if there were areas that they could improve getting closer to God or things they would do differently(at least in my somewhat coma state, that's what I remember). He then ended in prayer and we left. As soon as Mandy and I got in the car we were talking about how I was struggling and nodding off and I told her it was kinda weird, I remembered hearing something about raising your hand and I did. I asked her what that was all about because I had no clue. She looked at me and started laughing soooo hard eventually she let me know that I was basically saying I was not saved and wanted to be and that I had addictions I needed rescued from. It wouldn't be that big of a deal but since we were in the front row practically and a half empty church, I am sure my hand was NOT missed... our pastor must think that I have been living a double life. Well I think I will just sleep from now on after I work all night...that or sit on my hands!
