More Pictures for Daddy


Some day Josh wont like this picture much, but I sure think he looks cute in Bailey's pink glasses now.
Abby sure does love to play with toys! She had a great time rolling around on the floor with this bear today!

"I MAKE MY BED REAL NICE, MOMMY!"

Imagine my frustration when I stepped out of my bedroom, this is the mess I found in the hallway. As I questioned the older children as to who was playing in the closet and left this mess (as this is a favorite hiding place for hide-and-seekers), Josh comes running from the kitchen yelling in his very excited voice "I make my bed real nice, Mommy". Then he takes my hand and leads me to his room, where he has stipped the fitted sheet off his bed and "made" his bed using random pieces of linens from the closet. "Get the camera, Mommy,take my picture." So here he sits, so proudly, on his nicely made bed. What a little sweetie he is.

THE TOOTH FAIRY VISITS THE LITTLE HOUSE...AGAIN




They grow up so fast. It's hard to believe that at 7 years old it is already time to start preparing for braces! Hannah had 2 baby teeth extracted yesterday in hopes of giving her teeth more room to come in straight. She did just wonderful. Such a brave young lady she is. She was so excited when I told her the tooth fairy leaves a little extra for you when you have to have your teeth pulled this way. She couldn't wait to go to bed last night.

HANNAH GOES TO THE ZOO

Hannah had a great time on Sunday going to our local zoo with our Neighbors/Friends from Spain. Miguel and Rodrigo and Hannah palled around all day. Not only are they a very nice family, but she is learning to speak Spanish.



By the end of the day, she was exhausted, but happy. She had such a wonderful time.

JUST ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL SPRING DAY!

Abby has gained a little more weight, she is back up to 10 pounds, which is where she was when she started losing the weight. She is still well below her ideal weight, but we continue to work on it and pray she continues to do well, as we search for a new pediatrician. We are praying they will give us approval to seek civilian pediatrician for all the children.
Hard to believe that it was 78 degrees yesterday! And at noon today, the kids went to horseback riding lessons wearing noting but a spring jacket. When they started lessons, it was 52 degrees, in an hour and a half, it had dropped to 39 degrees and started to snow! When they returned to the stalls with their horses, their hands were mildly frost bitten. Amazing Colorado weather!

What a cutie pie, Josh!
It was such a busy day, Bailey fell asleep in the living room chair, and Jaydon was wiped out too!
