Easter, Get away, Spring break and this weeks happenings!

On the Saturday before Easter we went to church. On Easter we got up and did the basket hunt and had breakfast. Then we had an Easter egg hunt and my grandparents came over for lunch! We had ham and stuff. It was awesome. Then we went to an indoor water park. We had a ton of fun and enjoyed being together as a family. We got home on Monday and had to practice our piano!! On Tuesday we had piano lessons, and we did not have to practice the rest of spring break. :) Over spring break I have cleaned up my room, as well as watched a lot of TV, hung out, had friends over, and hang out online. Today I had a friend over and so did all of my sibs. We all played outside even thought it was cold. We also played games and backed cookies. Tomorrow I was going to a birthday party, but that got postponed. I am excited about it though because it is at the mall, and it is a scavenger hunt. So anyway, I have 1 day of break left then back to the books! Everything was on spring break this week- Dance, co-op, and piano(well we had lessons we just don't have to practice)

What flavor of gum are you?

You Are Bubblegum Flavored Gum

You are friendly, outgoing, and energetic. You love life, and you can always find some reason to smile. You are a bit hyper, and you're always looking for your next challenge. You love getting things done - and you are usually on the go. Your confidence and positive attitude makes you a very attractive person. You can be a little flaky at times, but people are able to overlook that - because you're so fun!

What Flavor Gum Are You?

Update from family Blog's

I copied a bunch of my mom's entries over the past few weeks-




Pink Eye x2, pneumonia, ear infection, and 2 horrible cases of the stomach flu with fevers and headaches as well. That has been the story of the last week. I have been at the doctor with kids more last week than we have probably been in almost a year! Now we are frantically taking immune boosters to keep us from catching all this crud. We certainly do not have the time for this right now!-

OK-- the chaos really didn't end until we set foot on our plane to visit the boys! My mom, who was arriving the day before we were to leave for Haiti, was on a flight that was canceled and then bumped to a flight that was greatly delayed, and ended up arriving almost 9 hours later than originally scheduled. Bless my mom!

Leaving was difficult as all of our kids were crying as we prayed together and said our goodbyes. Of course, once we were out the door everyone was fine!

We spent so much time covering our trip in prayer, but not the time before our trip in preparation nor the time we after we got back. And it was and has been kind of hard. Lesson learned-- pray earnestly for ALL the surrounding circumstances! Rob has been sick since we came back, one of the kids is pretty sick again and I feel like we are once again banging our heads against the wall. In spite of it all, we were so blessed to love on our precious boys and serve at the orphanage.

I don't know why God called us, but we are blessed to see Him work and to have our lives enriched by these precious boys. This road is already long -- it has been over one year since we started this process-- and we do grow weary, but God has certainly woven these boys into the depths of our hearts -- and we are blessed.-Mar 6, 2008


The day we left for Haiti jellybean turned 7 years old! She had such a happy heart about us not being here for her Birthday. We celebrated early, left surprises for her, and knew that gma would spoil her royally! There is something about gma's being like that.

To her delight, she didn't have any school to do on her birthday and instead went to Chuck E. Cheese for lunch, saw the "Alvin and the Chipmunks" movie at the dollar theater, and got to pick out Webkin clothes for her favorite webkin! And of course there was another birthday cake and ice cream! Thank you gma for making her day extra special!-

YES IT IS MARCH! And we just got hit with more snow that we have had in years! Just the other day the kids were complaining that we didn't even get to go sledding this year! Well this weekend gave us ample opportunity! Really it was a beautiful snowfall complete with 10-12 inches of snow! And today was the perfect sledding day!-Mar 9, 2008 8:12 PM

Long time no see!

Hey everyone~
For those of you who regularly check my blog I am sorry. I know it has been a long time since I blogged. I will try to go back and fill you in on the last few weeks throughout the next couple, but for now I will give a brief summary. My parents got home safely and they had a good time. We haven't had much go on over the last 2 weeks since then. i am taking a photography class at school and really like it. School is getting harder (the blues of growing up and advancing right? LOL!) I love the nice weather (ok, It may not be nice, but at least it is not snow.) If you are looking for good reading materiel you should try reading God's Blog's! A great book! I will have to do some entries on it later. GTG write more later.
