The girls get their first medals!

The proud recipients!!!!

Anna on the uneven parallel bars.

Whoa!! That was fast!!

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that Anna would be able to do something like this. We are truly blessed! She has come farther than any of us ever imagined. We were sure that when she was born with hydrocephalus that she would be leading a much different life. I thank God everyday for the gift he has given us, and continue to pray that he watches over her and keeps her safe.

"The medal" which is way better than a trophy! :)

Just some random pictures

Anna relaxing and soaking up the sun!

I think all little kids have a picture just like this. I know I do!

Casey enjoying his new angel quilt from Aunt Dianne.

Trin showing Dad how to do her new "funny face".

It is finally WARM!!

Temperatures have been in the high 80's! Woo Hoo! The warmth of the sun has me thrilled. We have spent just about everyday playing outside or finding new parks for the kids to play.

Trin is saying HOT in this picture. She touched a bench and she thought it was too hot to sit on.

This park had a great jungle gym! Trin was little unhappy! She wasn't big enough to get to the top. No worries! She just went and did her own thing.

This looks safe huh?

This was not at a park or outside play, but I just love it.

Our Week

Blurred on purpose. I love this grin. He is growing up so fast. It seems like just yesterday he was Trin's age wanting us to play twactors.

Ni Ni being a big girl on the see saw.

In true form.

Bubba is so funny!

Our week

Neen and her little yellow bus. What a gorgeous day!

Got handstands?

Anna and her teacher. Wednesday was the last day in portables. The school is moving and will be at their new location on Wednesday.

Anna leading the way? Or Trin? Look at all that grass! Love it!

Hummingbird Moth

A moth or a humming bird? We first saw these interesting creatures last August. We were walking and were amazed when we saw 5 of these creatures on one plant.

We saw this little guy last night in a weed on the lot next door. They are so fascinating! They fly just like a humming bird, and get nectar the same way a hummingbird does. Their wings even make a humming sound!

See him pulling nectar from the flower?

After searching online we came to the conclusion that this is actually a moth that mimicks a hummingbird. It is called a Hummingbird Moth. Don't tell the kids though. They are so excited to see hummingbirds this close up.

What a mess!

Today when Casey got home Anna walked into the living room with her hand cupped over her right ear. When Dad said "Hi Anna. How was your day?" She started bawling. I thought something was horribly wrong like Trini had pulled her earing and sliced her ear. No....she proclaims she was just chewing gum and it fell out of her mouth. Like most kids she tried to handle the problem on her own without coming to me first. If only she had come to me we would have been able to save so much more of her hair.


Can you see the damage she did on her own? The hair you see on the side of the gum is no longer attached to her head.

My peanut butter sticky hands were no match for this gum. Don't you just love that face? She looks like a totally different child.

Her poor head. You know she had to have been frantically tugging away to have pulled out that much hair. One side of her head is a little bit thinner now, but you really can't tell where all that hair came out. Let's hope when it grows back in it lays well.
