Grant on Wii

Okay this is pretty funny. Grant as we all know and love is a very active 7 1/2 yr old boy. He hardly EVER sits still and his mouth is just as active as his body. Well we have discovered that Grant and the sport of soccer are made for each other. He has been playing indoor soccer this winter and he LOVES it. He has also dicovered soccer on Wii. I had to make this video because the jumping is the funniest part. His brother was annoyed on day when he kept jumping and asked (in that oh so loving brother way) for him to stop. Grant replied "I am NOT jumping" He had no idea he was even doing it! Of course now we have it on video...tee hee hee!!!

Lillian is officially 6!!!

On Monday Feb. 23rd we celebrated Lillian's birthday. She made a special request...chocolate cherry cake. I had never made one before but luckily I am great at googling:) I found an easy recipe and it came out great! She recieved a small pink mp3 player and sang songs ALL DAY!! She loves being 6...just ask her and she will smile that 6yr old smile with missing teeth included!!

Jadon - Scout Achievements

Jadon has been working real hard to get several of his cub scout badges. Recently we attended a scout party called the Blue and Gold (to celebrate the birthday of scouts) Here he recieved some of his pins and belt loop.

Jadon helping with dinner

Jadon has been working on his Family Member scout badge the last couple of weeks. This week he helped me make stuffed shells. I love that he really enjoys doing things like this. Something I wish I had done this more with my Mom. I remember her making soup but I never offered to help her. I also remember her making apple pie but all I ever did then was eat the apple peels when she did the peeling:)

Lillian lost a front tooth!!!

Lillian has been saying for weeks that her two front teeth were loose. Of course, you know in the beginning that they aren't moving very much and so you wait...they wiggle...you wait...they wiggle. Well finally this weekend one of them was looking pretty loose as she moved it around with her tongue. Yesturday we were playing a game. I offered to give it a tug to see if it would come out...no luck. Then she went sledding at Whites Park with Daddy. She fell (of course) and loosened it even further. The final straw was when she was dancing in the living room last night to a Rick Charette cd. The words say "If you put your finger in the lions cage, you better be careful that he doesn't bite you!" She decided to put her finger in her mouth and bite down...the tooth popped right out!! Here are some funny pictures I took last night (some of them are very silly ones:)and a video of her reading to me.
