The Girl has Good Taste

The five year old....
We went out to eat Saturday afternoon. Bryce asked for a 'loaded baked potato.' Easy, we could handle that. Then Aubree informed us, she wanted 'a juicy steak.' Newman said he would order a sirloin for them to share, but I told him he was taking his chances because she may not eat it. So, Daddy sacrificed (not really) and ordered them a filet to share. And she loved it!!

Happy Birthday To My Hubby!!

He is an awesome husband who loves me more than I deserve.

He is the best dad for our children.

He loves the Lord with all his heart, mind, soul and strength.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NEWMAN!! WE LOVE YOU!!

My Baby...

...is not a baby anymore!! He's eight! Time has flown.

He's grown so much even in this last year.


Bryce and Daddy built a blue bird house for a Cub Scout project a few weeks ago. Now, we have baby blue birds.



HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRYCE!!!

AWANA and Ball

Bryce had his first baseball game on Tuesday night (after 2 games being rained out). I think I was more nervous than him. He did really good and even scored a run.

Last Wednesday night was AWANA Awards night. Aubree has finished up her two years in Cubbies and will move up to Sparks in the fall. Bryce finished his 3 years in Sparks and will be in T&T (Truth & Training) in the fall. Praying God will continue to hide His Word in their hearts!!

Gii Wii

After much thought and discussion by all four family members, the kiddos got a Wii for their birthdays this year. So far, we have all enjoyed it. It's been affectionately named "Gii." The kids have gotten very good at a couple of the games. In the above pictures, they are playing baseball against each other. The Wii does an age test. All four of us did the test. Our age scores were 54, 77, 80 and 80. I'll let you guess the order!!

Bryce's Bedtime Story

Bryce's writing assignment this week was to write a bedtime story and was to have a Frog or Toad as a character. He's been reading Frog and Toad Are Friends for his read-alouds. Aubree and I even got in bed for him to read it to us and we fell fast asleep....
