She's the diva!

Here are our kids being themselves. Emerson was very happy and copying Ethan cough until she had enough...

Corey's 16th Birthday Party

We took Corey out for his birthday party tonight. Kami had to work and we certainly didn't want him home alone! The poor waitress must have been freaking out when she saw my four and Corey plus Jerry's five! We had to put four tables together, but everything went well for the most part. Here are some pictures. Sorry that I have to post them all on this page, but I don't know how to have an album like my sister has just yet.

New church...

We went to church this morning, which felt really nice. We are doing a disservice to our children by not bringing them up in church. Luckily, Ethan's friend from school was there and he was able to be in her class. We took Emerson in the sanctuary with us since it was nap time for her. After the service, Ethan's friends' parents showed us around the church. It is HUGE! We were really impressed with the children's ministries, especially. Unfortunately, we are not quite sold on the preaching, yet. We're definately going to give it more time since it seems so beneficial to our children. We are used to very traditional preaching and this was all around different. We are very hopeful and would appreciate prayers for our family while we embark on this journey!

Here's our little firewoman!

Ethan insisted on wearing his spiderman costume and pirate hat to his daddy's work. My sister always tells me..."Pick your battles!" I also took a better video of the playroom for Amy.

Tiny Dancer!

You wanted more videos of Ethan, but you got the whole family!

Decorating help...please!!!

I should have typed the description above the video, but whatever. I'm learning! This video pretty much explains itself. It's the downstairs to my house! Amy, as you know, I really need help with Ethan and Emerson's playroom. I do not like the way that I have the walls right now. I am going to take everything down, reputty the walls, do some touch ups and try again!

This is the undecorated upstairs.

And so it begins....

Okay, so this is mostly for my nephews in Guam to see their cousins, so this is not going to be as fancy as my sisters blog. Plus, she writes a whole lot better than I do. I have no idea what I'm doing, but here goes...
