Halle's School Easter Party

Halle had her Easter egg hunt and party on Friday at school. This was also her last day before Spring Break. It was such a beautiful day and the kids had a great time! Kennadi attended this school party. This was the first party she had been to at Halle's school. I think she would like to be a regular at Lakeside.

Halle had a great time with her friends, hunting over 2,500 eggs (that this mom helped stuff-mind you). It was a very memorable Easter party.

Let it Snow!!!!

Finally a snow for the kids this year! Halle was so excited, Kennadi-not so much. She didn't want to touch the snow, or stand in the snow, or ride in the snow. She was perfectly happy standing on the concrete watching us enjoy the snow.

Halle got her long awaited snow day from school. It worked out perfect because Brant came in from school in St. Louis, so he got to spend the day at home with us. We played on the sled, threw snowballs, made snow angels, and built a snowman-or snowgirl rather! It was a great day.

Now I say...."Out with the snow and bring on Spring!!!!!

I hope everyone enjoyed their "snow day" as well.

The Best Day Ever!

Friday, Halle stayed home from school to rest from being out late at "Annie" on Thursday night. I wanted her to rest b/c Friday night she had a daddy/daughter dance at school. While we were on the way to the beauty shop to get her hair fixed on Friday afternoon, she began telling me that she wanted to be saved. She has been asking questions for a while now. I have told her that she will know when it is her time. She kept saying, "Mom, I know God is telling me it is time. My heart is hot." I called my mom and we met her at the park to talk. After talking for a while, Halle said she was ready to be saved. She prayed and asked God to save her! She is so excited. We met with a preacher from our church this morning, and he talked to her for a while. He said she was smart and knew what she was doing.

Friday night, Halle and her daddy got all dressed up and went to her school's daddy/daughter dance. They had a blast dancing the night away. They participated in dances such as: The Chicken Dance, The Twist, YMCA, and many more. I think they both had a pretty fabulous time!

When they got home she said, "This has been the best day ever. I was saved and got to go to the dance!"

We are so happy for her. She is on cloud nine!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Our Valentine's Day was very busy. Halle had her Valentine party at school. It was a lot of fun. They had lots of goodies and we made heart frames and put their pics inside them.

Valetine's night my mom and I took Halle to see "Annie" the musical at the Robinson Music Center. It was great, but very long! We didn't get home until almost midnight! Halle was so exhausted the next day. I ended up letting her skip school. Ooops!

Our Valentine's Day was very memorable.

New Additions

This past Sunday our German Shepherd, Raine, had her puppies. She had a litter of eight! There are 4 males and 4 females. Halle was so excited! Raine is being a great mother to the puppies. They are growing so fast! They will be ready to go by the end of March, so if anyone know of someone who is looking for a registered German Shepherd, let us know!

Sisters

I haven't posted in a while. I guess we have been sort-of boring this month! I just wanted to post a few picks of the girls together. It is so special to have sisters. I hope they always remain close. I think they will carry a special bond to each other no matter where their lives take them. I thank God everyday for giving me my little girls - "sisters".

Happy New Year!

We rang in the new year with some friends of ours on New Years Eve. Halle actually made it to midnight! She is a night owl, so I wasn't too surprised. We toasted in the new year with some sparkling juice and the kids thought that was just great!

I hope 2008 brings everyone health and happiness!
