Jump Rope for Heart and Other fun Stuff. Day 13 of 365

It's a 365 blog bonus. You get 4 photos today. Enjoy!


B. did an AWESOME job raising money for the American Heart Association. She raised $205 dollars and had a lot of fun jumping rope that day too! Her school raised $3000. Way to go B.


While B. did Jump Rope for Heart, H. got to hang out with a friend in the Kindergarten room. He is quite the little builder and spent most of the time working on different creations.


The orthodontist is a regular part of our lives now. B. is currently wearing headgear, and will get braces in about 2 months. It is not easy for either one of us, but she is tough and will get through it!

B. the Ballerina .... Day 12 of 365

B. is becoming quite the ballerina. She loves it so much and it is a joy for me to see her twirling around at home.

What's Wrong with the TV? Day 11 of 365

H: "Whats wrong with the TV?"
Me: "Oh, it broke so we are using the old little one."
H: "No, what is wrong with that little tv? There are no colors.
Me: It's just really old. A long time ago they made tv's that were just black and white. In fact when the first tvs and movies were made they couldn't make movies in color and all the tvs were black and white. Mom and dad both had black and white tvs when we were kids."
H: "Oh. Wow, the tv must be 200 years old and you must be 200 years old too."

Gee, thanks for that one!

A lesser known Family Member...... Day 10 of 365

Meet Kiah, our sweet German Wired Hair Pointer. She is named after my Thailand trip that I went on 2.5 years ago. She is a cutie pie, super loving and at times a royal pain. But we love her just the same. And she is learning to be a great hunting dog. She's supposed to be my dog, but for her to be my dog I would have to take her hunting much more than I do. So she is really D's dog, but don't tell him that. As far as I'm concerned she's still my little girl!

I have no words..... Day 9 of 365

But maybe I should explain.... D. recived a fun award at our church's annual meeting. He thought it would be funny to put it with the nativity scene for a picture. Oh never mind.... I still have no words.....

Sleeping Beauty.... Day 8 of 365

Running for Freedom.... Day 7 of 365

I love how the kids (and a friend) love running through the playground to where I am parked at the end of the school day. I pretend that they are excited to see me!
