Byron has a Brittney Spears moment.

Just when I've already posted today, Byron goes and does something that requires an IMMEDIATE post. He shaved his head. Please don't email and ask me why. He has reasons that I guess would make sense to men but make no sense to women. He does have more in common with Maddie now. I feel that he already had enough in common with her. The burping, the tooting, and the getting sick after eating too much. I guess now he wants to look like her too. I'm afraid of what they might have in common next!

Welcome back from Outrigger Island!

Outrigger Island was the theme of our VBS days this year. We just completed the week and we are all pretty worn out. Kendall went every night and had a great time. She made some super adorable crafts and had a great time with the other kids and her teachers. Her teachers told me that every time they would pray Kendall would whisper her own prayer under her breath. Yep, she does the same thing here at home, can't seem to break her of it. I guess the only problem was that many times she would pray longer than the teachers and they didn't know whether to wait for her or just go on!! Ha ha!! Byron put in his VBS time earlier in the week by helping set up all the video and audio stuff for the worship rally. He also took care of the two little ones every night because I taught first grade this week. I had an average of 20 kids every night with about 3/4 of those being boys. Yes, they were a very active class :-) It made me realize how much I miss teaching. I had a fabulous time and even though I crave getting the schedule back in order, I was also sorry to see it go. Here's a video (I hope I uploaded it right) of Kendall's class singing at the worship rally on family night. She's the ham, as usual.

I'm counting to 10.....again.

Grace will be the end of me. I love her endlessly. I wish my patience with her stretched as far as my love. Today she has tried to escape from her crib, emptied the two bottom shelves of the pantry, empty the cabinet under the TV, thrown half her breakfast on the floor, tried to sit on Madison, stole Kendall's hair clips, stole Kendall's leapster, hit Kendall when she took her leapster back, stood at my feet and cried while I folded clothes, jumped on Kendall's bed, took her shorts off and tried to put them back on backwards, and peed all over my hand when I tried to change her diaper. This was all before she created an F-5 of toys in the playroom. Then I get up from the lunch table to tend to Maddie and I come back to Grace taking the fruit juice from her fruit cup and dumping it in her hair. Below is her hair do. She thinks she's so funny. Kendall thought it was funny too. The best I can say for myself is I was laughing on the inside.

It runs in the family

The first picture was taken of Kendall when she was 1. The second picture was taken of Grace a few nights ago. Sigh....I wish I could do a better job of teaching the girls table manners. Feet off the table ladies.

Happy Birthday Kendall!!

Kendall's birthday is August 4th, but we choose to celebrate this weekend because we have VBS every night this week. She is 5 years old and we can't believe it. She is getting so grown up. We all had a wonderful time celebrating with her. She got some great gifts from family and of course some Disney princess stuff from Byron and myself. Here is a pic of her painting a flower pot she got from Grandma and Grandpa. The butterfly cake was made by yours truly.
