Our Family Updates

Saturdays are crazy for us. We run around the house trying to force everyone to eat breakfast and use the potty while we try to find shin guards, cleets, camp chairs, jackets water bottles for the soccer game lineup. I was only 10 minutes late to Isaiah's game. Romar had half the kids at another field for Sam's game and Carrie's game was in 30 minutes. We had camp chairs for me and Romar and jackets for a couple of the kids and one blanket for the rest to fight over. I was feeling good about myself, pretty on top of it so far. I even remembered my camera. I started snapping pictures of Isaiah. I decided we needed a lot so nobody would notice that I only have pictures of one game the entire season. I noticed he had on orange socks and thought he must have borrowed them from a teammate. I got about 20 shots and put my camera away. Then, I saw the coach send in a new kid. Hmm, he sure looks like Isaiah. He runs like Isaiah, oh wait, that's Isaiah. So, I apologize to the child and his mother, who I seemed to be stalking and snapping numerous pictures of. This is actually Isaiah, at least I think it is.
Who needs a plate?
It's so much better to just grab a spoon
and eat right out of the middle. -Sam

Beautiful new Easter dresses from Grandma! Why no shoes? Oh because we couldn't find them! Can I just say how validated I felt when I came back from a trip and got a report from the girls' church leader, that my kind and brave friend who watched them, took them to church with one set of mismatched shoes, and one set of two left shoes?
I bought this adorable cake for Ben for his 2nd Birthday.
We sang, he loved it!
Then, he took a bite. Not so happy. He cried, it's not chocolate, I wanted chocolate cake for my birthday! He ate the ice cream, but not one bite of his cake.
When Grandma and Grandpa called and asked
what he got for his birthday,
did he mention any of their generous gifts?
Nope. He just said, I wanted chocolate cake for my birthday!
-Oh did I mention the cake tipped over in transport,
broke right down the middle. Thanks Romar for the toothpicks and frosting makeover.
Birthday cake, take two!
Spoiled Little Ben Ben.
Jacob has been begging to take break dancing classes. I explained that they have performances and I worried about him being too nervous to perform in front of an audience. But, as you can see from the class program, No Stage Fright problem for Jacob!
He ate it up. The other kids were totally embarrassed but
Jacob loved it.


How much does Sara love Molly?
Date night with Abby. I think the other people in the theater
really enjoyed the flash on my camera in the middle of Tangled 3D!
Isn't she the prettiest sick little girl you've ever seen. Even when she's barfing and miserable, you just stare and her and think,
you are beautiful!
