Spoons before church...

January 29: Day 29

The reward of being ready to leave for church early is a game of Spoons with Daddy.  

Soccer Saturday...

January 28: Day 28

All three girls began playing arena soccer this Saturday!  We have such a great time spending our day outside in the beautiful weather running and playing hard.  Macky is having a celebratory carne asada burrito after scoring the first goal of the season!

Mike and Isabelle are relaxing in the goal box watching Sarah play her very first soccer game.

Sarah had a smile on her face the entire time she was out on the field.  I must have fed her jumping beans for breakfast because the child didn't stop moving, jumping and spinning the whole 40 minutes.  Every time she ran by Daddy or her sisters she would wave and yell! 

A morning at Brother Bennos...

January 27: Day 27

The girls and I were able to join our Friday Friends and give a few hours to decorating lunch bags and filling bags with rice and beans for a local homeless organization.  We are so thankful for all the blessings that Brother Bennos pours out on not only the homeless, but the working poor families that live in the community. 

A little Thursday ballet...

January 26: Day 26

The girls got a surprise visit from Grandma and Grandpa on Thursday afternoon, so that called for a show!  Here is Sarah giving her best Cinderella ballerina performance. 

Cards anyone?

January 25: Day 25

We were all dressed up and ready to head off to a Mozart concert, but who can resist a quick game of "gold" fish? 

What "picture a day"?

January 24: Day 24

I suppose you should get used to this sort of picture.  This is what happens when Mama waits until 8:15 at night to remember to take a picture for the day.  Woops! But as you can see, life is tough when your sisters have already gone to bed and you have to cuddle on the couch with Daddy. 

Stuffed taters....

January 23: Day 23

Ahh, one of our favorites.  It's a great way to sneak in those green veggies.  I guess if you smother anything in sour cream, butter and cheese then sprinkle on some bacon bits, just about anyone will eat it.
