Look Alikes!














A rare moment of having Gabriel actually posing for the camera!!! People at church tell me all the time how they think Gabriel looks so much like Aaron....I think so too!

It's official....we have a "Brownie"!!!

It is so exciting to see all of the different milestones in our children's lives! It's hard to believe that Adriana is old enough to be in 1st grade....and now involved in things such as Brownies! She LOVES it!!! I couldn't iron on her patches fast enough! The only thing I am nervous for is cookie time! I'm not much a sales person and I don't really care to stand outside of the local grocery stores in the freezing cold! So....if anyone wants cookies in the near future....you know who to contact!!! ;0)

Random pictures of Samuel.... (8 months old)

I know he's 9 months old...I'm a little slow putting his big accomplishments on here!



Happy 5th Birthday, Nathaniel!

Nathaniel has been counting down for his 5th birthday since this past summer! It came and went very quickly, however, we still have to have a party! He is still looking forward to a "Yoda" cake. If you couldn't tell...he is very into Star Wars! Thanks, Daddy!!! He and Aaron have a very special bond...Star Wars Lego Wii game. They play together as their "Daddy/Son" bonding time!

I'd say that despite a friend party, he had a great birthday! He had school and was "fussed over" there, then came home and played with his brothers. Later when Adriana and Aaron came home, we went to Chuck E. Cheeses for dinner and fun! Since it was a Monday night, we literally had the entire place to ourselves. It was great!!!

Adriana's Public School Ministry!!!



This is what came home in today's
folder!! Wow!!!!! We thought it was
awesome!

The Berenstain Bears visit Nathaniel's Preschool!

As another way to celebrate our church's 15oth birthday, the Berenstain Bears came to visit our Preschool! Aaron and I weren't aware of the fact that we live in "Bear Country"! Apparently, the Berenstain's live fairly close by. So, through a couple of "connections", Mike Berenstain (son of Stan and Jan Berenstain) came by and read from one of his new faith-based books. He then showed us how to draw two of the characters and their different emotions. We sang "Happy Birthday" in honor of the late Stan Berenstain and had cake. To finish the great event up, our church purchased a set of the 4 new books, signed by Mike Berenstain, for each child! It was such a neat day!

**Note in some of the pictures...Gabriel would not go near the Bears. Doug was holding on to him. When Gabe finally wanted to say "hi" to them, it was from across the room, as the bears were leaving!!!! Repeat of Disney World?!?!?!!?!**
