another kid in double digits

mei turns 10 and as last year we spent it at millennium park
after a while we walked over to "bucking bull" fountain

since it was so windy I knew that on the hour the kids would be in for a surprise!

I love bringing my kids to things that I grew up doing! none of them, even David, had never done this before they danced in the spray the full 20 minutes. we ALL ended up soaked. It was just as fun today as it was 35 years ago with uncle Gladdy.

we came home to find more fun

what a perfect last picture for my china girl!

found these on my camera today

he makes me nuts but I am crazy in love with this guy.

fun times

so I walked in on G eating lunch. what a health nut

we have a lot of dance parties at our house. we even have live music, dancin to skillet here
a visit to the fire house a little exercise





some camp games

not sure if his minds in to the game

and KB comes to play. pogo sticks are all the rage at our house

he's so tricky

really G? where does he come up with them? I tell you I laugh every time I see this

happy Easter day!

we are so happy to have little A home especially since we get to see liv clothes again

cheeks is my "best medicine" and boy i needed it today!

I can never have enough pic's of this girl

the tye dye twins

this pic is a must have since she ends up on his lap every time she sees him

so happy to have the uppers here

cheeks was the talent show

poor jon was sick so he enjoyed it from here

yea i was on the couch or I would have stopped gray from hunting in his socks

what a great family day praising Jesus for the greatest act of love ever done.

a funny stories

so we were waiting at the international terminal today and here comes out our friend like this pushing this huge kart with loads of luggage by herself so funny it was several minutes before the rest of them followed along
and then on our Easter egg hunt to even the field we made the big guys wear winter gloves

sky taped his bag to his glove so he wouldn't have to hold it, it made for a fun hunt.

we celebrated a lot today!

we were quite proud of our kids today, this morning they were given a choice to go to church for the Easter egg hunt or go to the airport to see some of our favorite girls come home, you see which they unanimously chose

yes, more family home in the USA!

and thankfully we could enjoy the great weather

hum I found these two on the swing had to get a picture

no need to worry about the kids when livs around

they were "rock stars going to the rock star show" G was humming a tune and baby A was copying him humming the same tune it was so cute they are best buds

we left that fun to have coloring egg fun

favorite eggs

ready for the basket hunt

gray found all his clues that led to his basket

lookin good

and then gray lost his second tooth~ toothless joe
