Dave's DYNOMITE DRINKS!

All of my children love to spending the night
@ Grammy & Grampy's House
not only because it is always so much fun,
but in the morning after they wake up
they know that Grampy will make
his famous SUPER JUICE
with whatever fruit he's got just lying around.
You name it...
bananas, berries, kiwi, grapes, apples,
pineapple, cantaloupe, honeydew, oranges .....
So it is never the same juice twice.
But the kids just go wild for his juice drink!
Ethan's testimonial on Grampy's Super Juice:
"When I drink Grampy's SUPER JUICE all day
I feel like a TRANSFORMER!"
(he says as he is flexing his muscles for us all to see)

The LUCK of the IRISH

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Today is the day to wear green
so wear it if you got it!
Jolee is all decked out in many shades of green
Although none of her clothes match...
she is just so adorable!
I feel like I could just pinch her right now!
But the rule is you can only pinch someone
who is NOT wearing green.
Oddly enough today is also class picture day
Funny day to take school pictures don't you think?
Jolee & Alex waiting in line to take their individual pictures
Everybody smile & say PICKLES!

our very own FANCY NANCY

At school they had a day where you could
dress~up as your favorite storybook character.
Jolee's new favorite books are
the Fancy Nancy books
starring little miss Fancy Nancy
Jolee likes Nancy because
her hair is oh so curly & cute
with all the little embellishments
such as
flowers, hearts, butterflies, ladybugs,
sparkles, & pom~pom bug antenna's.
Not to mention the fabulous shoes,
dazzling jewelery, pixie wand,
frilly feathers, & the occasional girlie girl tutu
And what little girl wouldn't be complete
without a little shimmery lip gloss
Eden Marie, Katelyn, & Jolee
all dressed up like Fancy Nancy today!
Here is Jolee with her sweet teacher
Mrs. Teekell~Opitz
She would have made a really cute
Mrs. Frizzle
from the Magic School Bus books.

Pretty Princesses

There is nothing so precious as
little girls playing dress~up
~ Princess Emma Cinderella ~
~ Princess Jolee Rose ~
Here are the girls pretending to
go for a ride in Emma's car.
Emma wanted to make sure that
Jolee buckle up for safety.
How adorable is that!?!
Jolee loved visiting her cousin Emma so much! What a fun filled day they have spent together. They went to the Kid Space Museum together earlier that day. We had so much fun exploring the ant hill & pretending to be ants, climbing the blue glass steps all the way to the tippy top, participating in the bike race on the race track, uncovering ancient dinosaur bones, & building a play house with giant blocks! And the fun didn't end there. The kids played for a bit at the park before we were invited over to Emma's house to play dress up! Needless to say Jolee was tickled pink. Peter and I were very humbled and honored by their welcoming invitation. I loved every moment of being there ~ just to be a flower on the wall ~ observing every interaction between Emma & Sam and Jolee, Ethan, Logan, & Kylee. Peter & I feel so blessed to be apart of their lives. Never in my wildest dreams had I ever allowed myself to hope for such a thing as this. David & Mary have truly touched my heart to welcome us into their home with open arms. What wonderful, diligent, devoted, loving parents. They are perfect for Emma in every way. She completes them. As they do her. This only strengthens my testimony that Heavenly Father is mindful of me ~ He is all knowing ~ and he knows the desires of my heart. I have truly been blessed. This has truly been one of the best days of my life.
to: David & Mary thank you for the most beautiful day.
~ with Love, Sara ~
The girls really do have this magical bond
& love for each other ~
a closeness that even vast distances
& time apart can ever erase.
they will now forever be the
Best of Friends!
