Spring has sprung (4/20/11)

We planted the tulips we sponsored for last year's Easter service. They are even more vibrant than last year! Kyla loves how perennials come back without much effort on her part! Kyla bought a rhubarb plant (for Uncle Phil's love of rhubarb pie) last summer in Minnesota. It survived the winter! We just might have pie later this summer! The Easter lily Kyla sponsored and planted from last year's Easter service is coming back too! No lily trumpets in time for Easter Sunday.Last summer Kyla bought a Topsy Turvey strawberry planter and had one extra strawberry plant, so she planted it in the flower garden in front of the house. It's coming back too!Kyla took everyone to get their hair trimmed for Easter. Luella is looking really cute!Kati surprised us all when she asked for bangs with this (her second) hair cut! Like her sister, she looks much older with bangs!The girls love coordinating their outfits these days! They are adorable on this fabulous spring day!

KIDS!

Luella picked out her own outfit. She was cold, so long sleeves and pants. Then she was hot, so flip-flops. She loves her hat, so that worked in her mind too. Katja just looking cute, so had to take her picture too! Bath time for the girls and Luella decided that making Katja's hair stick straight up means she's a boy. We really don't know where she gets this from! Sorry if you're offended by the baby nudity/ inadvertent mooning.

Tim plays Army in WV.

Image
This is the Center for National Response. It's right off I-70 in West Virginia. It was part of the interstate, but the tunnel thru the mountain was too difficult for the state to maintain , so they let people train in there. They can make it rain, blow wind up to 40 mph, fires, explosions, all kinds of awesome training. Here's Tim's company at the entrance to the tunnel. Tim was playing Army while we were hosting Ginger before her big move. Tim and April Miller - team leaders discussing their missions from the day. Tim and his company commander, MAJ Alex Lovase discussing football, or something. Take cover! They have paintball gun attachments to their weapons so you can see where you got hit. One of the missions was to rappel down this hill... Then wade thru this tunnel for 1/4 mile in icy cold water to get to the objective site... As you can see, it was a really long day. Tim was the commander for this mission. The Soldiers had to traverse thru a collapsed tunnel....

Early Birthday Celebrations! (8/6/11)

Image
Kyla found Goobers sleeping on Kati's diaper changing table this morning. He was so cute laying there, Kyla had to get the girls in on a the picture too. We decided to spend this Saturday afternoon celebrating Kati's birthday. We went to see Cars 2 in the movie theater. It was cute, but like most sequels, the original was better. Kati had a coupon for a free meal to Famous Dave's. It came with a Roman candle! Look at the shocked expression on her face with the BIG CANDLE! Kati tried to blow out her candle, but it just wouldn't stop! Luella on the other end of the flames wondered if she really needed her eyebrows! This kid loves her ice cream! Happy early 3rd birthday Katja Johanna!
