AMAZING Art!Christ Painting!

Nate (josh's bro) shared this with us...It's amazing... Can you see it before the end?

Busy...Busy...Busy

We've been sooo busy lately...Soccer, Home School, Church, College, ETC...



Just wanted to say we're all doing good and show some pictures off...



Gabriel and this other boy both wanted to be goalie and everytime the other team got the ball they both ran towards the goal and left the other boy to play defense all alone....LOL

The other day I got bored and made this cake. We had a chocolate cake mix, but no frosting and me being the sugar adict that I am... got adventurous and made my own. It has choc. fudge on top and buttercream in the middle. It ended up tasting like a giant hostess cupcake....yummy!!! Lets just say it did not look this pretty for very long. We all had a slice after our dinner and then after the kids went to bed, Josh and I just dug in w/ a fork. I think I had some for breakfast the next day....Man I should not make cakes....

The last few days the weather has been sooo nice. A scourching 60+ degrees and I couldn't stand staying inside all day any longer. So, my friend Tara invited us over to run and play at her house. We all enjoyed it so much. They had a huge play structure, a sand box and lots of room to run. The boys even flew their kites, as the wind was starting to pick up. All the moms hung out, chatted and sipped coffee. Such a wonderful time. I can't wait until I have my own yard to do that in...Someday, right?

Oh and check out the kiddos' pages for more pics and other happenings around here :o)

Spring Has Sprung

At our house we don't do the typical Easter celebration. We want to spend the time really reflecting on the death and resurrection of Christ rather than bunnies and baskets. So I stole this idea from a church friend who's blog I've been lurking on :o)
Last Friday, being the first day of Spring, we had a Spring Celebration! We had "spring" decorated donuts and fruit smoothies for breakfast. Then I had an appointment that morning. Came back home and had a little egg and candy scavenger hunt.
<-Gabe The boys thought this was so much fun. We had to have it inside due to the weather. In WA even when it's spring it is too cold outside sometimes.

<-Joshua Joshua got the golden egg! We buy the wonka candies since none of them have peanuts.

<-Zaccheaus Counting and trading their loot! :o)

I had to go to the church and set up for Titus Two and when I came home we were going to set up all the bird feeders and humming bird feeders (we've seen some already this year!), but again the wind was too blustery and the rains were heavy, so we put that off for another day.

For dinner I made salmon, baked red potatoes and corn...oh and snail dinner rolls. Look you roll them up and they look like this...

Sorry the pics fuzzy. I got a glare off my stone. The antenna (sp?) are carrots. The boys really enjoyed these too!
Just so I don't seem all martha stewarty here's what the rest looked like....

Happy Spring Everyone...Enjoy the weather...(when you can LOL)
