Coley and Kelsey

Luckily for the kids, Rick has a pool. Here Nicole and her mini me, Kelsey, have fun in the pool.

Kelsey likes to think she is a big kid and luckily her older cousins like having her to play with.

Happy Father's Day

Yesterday was Father's Day. We celebrated on Saturday with dinner at Houlihan's and then we watched Hairspray.

On Sunday, we gave Jim breakfast in bed. This is a photo of Jess which was taken in the afterschool program. Her teacher took the picture, enlarged it and then Jess picked out a frame and personalized it.

He then relaxed for a little bit before we headed to Rick and Erin's for a barbecque with the family.

Easter Egg Dying

Jess and Nicole dye Easter eggs with Denise at her home. Not much trouble this year except we used more eggs than we wanted too.

Oh well-more deviled eggs this year!

All we want for Christmas is...

the Wii. Luckily, Santa secured us a Wii this year. Since it was the only item on their list, they were very happy to receive it.

Everyone here as well as Grandmommy, Grandpoppy and Brigid have created their Miis (mees) to play the games.

Jess is a wicked bowler and Nicole has a slice in golf. Of course, Nicole loves her Hannah Montana game and even had Grandpoppy learning the moves!

Trip to the Mission

Jessica's religion class, taught by my dear friend Tracy, wanted to visit with families who did not have as much as we do. All the children brought presents to the mission. In addition, they sung songs and helped served lunch.

Tracy organized the event and emphasized to our children how similiar we are all.

It was a great start to the week of Christmas.
