BOOM TOWN BABIES

Savanna is in a little girls choir called the Boom Town Babies. They did a concert at an old folks home on the Saturday before Valentines day. It was really cute! They sounded so good! They sang songs like Bushel and a Peck, Skinamarinkydinkydink, and Baby Love. Lot's of fun!

Sow day

Mackenzie was lucky enough to be here for our only snow day and Audrey was lucky enough for me to let her stay home from school that day! They even put snowballs in the freezer so they can pelt the next door neighbor boy this summer. I told them they had to let them thaw a while so they don't give Cody a concussion. : )

Fun in the snow

AUDREY GIRL

I realized I didn't have any new pics of Audrey really so I made her pose for me before school today. In her cute "leather" jacket, she looks stylin'! Love this girl! She is very fun to be around! And I am only 18 pounds away from reaching my goal! So cool!

NATALIE'S GONE CALICO!

So I couldn't decide whether I wanted highlights, lowlights, or red lights, so I just got them all. Why not am I right? It's only hair. If I didn't like it, I could just cut it all off and it will grow back. Turned out a little calico, but it's fun and I feel a little like a rock star. ; ) I have never had blonde in there, but so far, I like it. It really makes my eyes look green.

Mackenzie had fun fixing Audrey's hair in a bit of a faux hawk, a hairstyle that I am particularly fond of on Jakob!

USS NELSON PART II

We had another sucessfull visit with the Nelson crew. The kids and Matt and Heather decided to rake our leaves and did an awesome job. We don't have any trees in our yard really, but we get all the neighbors leaves. And it is a big job! We appreciated it. The kids helped in return for a 3 hour trip to the swimming pool at our health club. They were seriously prunes when they got out! And they had a lot of fun with the leaves too! We have loved having family visit us! So come on down to Arkansas ya'll!!!

OH SAVANNA...

Savanna loves her brother, sometimes too much! They go through the day playing like best buddies and then squabbling and hollering at each other. Guess that is not new for any family. All kids do it. She loves to sleep with me when Mark is traveling, and I found her like this one night, with her arm straight up in the air. I thought it was pretty cute.

OUR LITTLE JAKE MAN

We love our little Jake man. He has 3 volumes: Loud Happy, Loud Mad, and Asleep. Seriously that is all. No in between. But he is a lot of fun to be around...when he is happy, or asleep. : ) I am convinced the Lord has given me an extra helping of patience just for our Jakers. And he made him pretty darn cute, nad that helps too. The picture by the washing machine is of Jakob lamenting over me washing his blankie. Blankie is a member of the family, and I usally try to sneak it into the wash when he isn't looking, but he caught me one day and stood for a long time trying to get "him" back out.
