Perfect SOL Scores

Donavan had his award assembly for making perfect scores on his 3rd grade Science and Social Studies SOL test. One of my friends took the pic of Donavan and that "old middle aged" woman next to him. I must have been in the bathroom:).

Colleen in action

Volleyball York tournament

The girls had a rough weekend only winning 2 out of 6 games. Colleen did a good job with her jump serve and blocking position.

The girls together again

Ann, Brooke and Ellie came to watch Colleen play volleyball. Brooke and Colleen were practicing their Bella and Edward poses. It was great to see them and spend time with no boys.

Jump Serve

Colleen has struggled with her serve in volleyball. It has become a running joke, but Colleen knows she has to get her serve down to become a "Great Volleyball Player". Last night in desperation her coach told her to try jump serving it. Colleen said "I don't know how". The coach walked her thru it and according to Collen she CAN do it. A mom sent these pics to me to prove she did. I was not at practice, so I was finding it hard to believe.

Sierra many looks

This is by far one of her favorite looks!!!


Does Lily recognize and of these clothes?

You can learn a lot about how my kids treat one another at the end of this video.

Going for a hike

Conlan and Sierra

The jacket she has on was Conlan's. The outfit was also in the Nicolas grab bag. Ray was in charge of dressing her today.

All Finished

I also got new curtains...now I need new floors and new pictures:)

First day of painting

We are painting the living room and kitchen. Day one consisted of painting the ceiling, window trims and starting the wall paint.

Conlan is growing up!

Conlan is not only getting taller by the day, he is also growing into a fine young man. I got to spend time shopping with him last night without the others. I love that boy so much. I love how he just accepts people/things how they are, but has such a strong sense of what is right. I love how we discussed what heaven was like and what God will look like, right after the suicide-bomber going to heaven with 144 women conversation. I love he is still a little boy at heart, and thinks the world is his for the taking. I pray that God keeps that spirit in him and that he will always want to spend a little one on one time with his mom.
