We Are the Champions!

Amy in action

One of the precious moments of parenthood:
Amy fell asleep reading Fablehaven.

Amy had her last after-school soccer session on Tuesday. At the end the coaches gave out a few special awards. Amy got the Girls' Olympian award for working hard and being an all-around good athlete.

Kara is cruising through the BOB books she got for her birthday.

Brenda is now officially a UVU music major. She won't start classes until next fall but is working on getting an appointment with an academic advisor to find out what classes she needs to take and what her BYU credits will cover.

Joy and his brother finished painting the basement last weekend. We will take pictures as soon as there is light down there again. Thanks again, Jens!!


QOSROIT: What is your latest, greatest achievement?


Felicitous Diurnal Course of the Lexicon!

Making More Progress

Kara loved her birthday balloons so much,
she had to have them with her in bed.

It's getting cold in the mornings here.

Kara may actually have been right about having grown overnight. She just moved up another clothing size this week.

Amy is becoming a voracious reader. She spent most of the weekend with her nose in the books she got from this month's book order and is really enjoying Island of the Blue Dolphins.

The basement painting is well underway now. Joy and his brother have cleaned everything, done all the taping

Brenda got quite a bit of sewing done this weekend but still has a lot to do before the end of the month.


QOSROIT: What are you reading right now?


Happy Saint Edward the Confessor Feast Day!

Happy, Happy Birthday, Kara Dear!

Happy birthday, Princess!

The theme of the friend party was
"If You Give a Cat a Cupcake."

Kara turned five this week, and she is convinced that she is suddenly taller than all her friends because of it.

Amy got so excited about picking out a present to give to her sister. She chose a Disney princess doll, Hello Kitty stickers and a pack of strawberry gum. Does she know Kara or what? Of course, the birthday girl loved them!

Joy made special pancakes with faces made out of chocolate chips, whipped cream and marachino cherries. The girls were thrilled.

Brenda still can't believe that her baby is five. How much longer do we have before we can't call her Bubby anymore?


QOSROIT: What was your nickname when you were a kid?


Also happy birthday to Gandhi, Charlie Brown and Snoopy!
