Another new video

I hope all of you will check in frequently to see my NEW video. Today it is Lily getting ready for bed. She is talking so good now. In this video she says the word DANCE, HUG, OUCHIE, and Night Nite and probably alot more that I don't understanding yet. She's such a sweet baby and growing up way too fast.
Tonight I will be making a new video of Tess. She is in The Mary Poppin's play at her School. She's playing the part of Mrs. Banks, Jane and Michael's mother. Her teacher, Miss Olson, says that Tess is perfect for the role and asked if she has been watching the movie cause she has her (Mrs. Banks) mannerisms down pat. Tess has only seen the movie once with her class as the Teacher showed it to them months ago as a preview before she assigned them roles. I can't wait to see the Play and as soon as I can get the video posted on YouTube I will email you all to see the play too. Sure hope I can get good seating.
Oh please leave a comment. This way I know you all are getting my email updates. Thanks!

Look who's in the lead!!!

It's Lily! What a great shot! Shows the contrast of how much older her brothers and sisters are then her. Go Lily Go!



On May 12th Britton and her Boyfriend Matt came up for a 4 day visit. It was a great time getting to know Matt...he is perfect for Britton. He knows how to keep her in check! Can't you see the mischievousness in her eyes? Love it!

Britton is doing well...working hard and hopes to move to Portland, OR this summer with Matt.

We had such a good time with them...his a great guy!

On May 13th Mamaw and Poppi came up from Kentucky to see Britton. We all had a wonderful time together even tho it was short. So glad they got to see her.

Another awesome photo. Everyone is lined up by age. Beren is taller then Leia and Britton...can you believe that? His only 13! Leia and Britton look like they are the same height...Leia might be taller tho! Lily was too busy to stand so Poppi had to hold her. Perfect to have her on the end! Tess gave Mamaw a bouquet of dandelion's! ha ha They look good in the photo. Greg hates dandelion's...they mess up his lawn! I can't believe the difference in height between Seth and Beren too. Seth is average for his height and Beren is way above normal for his...Hope Seth's has a growth spirt soon!

Now for the best photos Yet!

Britton takes on Beren!
Funny story behind this...for years Britton would say that she couldn't wait for Beren to get bigger cause when he does"I'm gonna kick his butt." Well that time finally came and look who's turns up on top! hee hee Guess he showed her!

That'll learn her!

What a Hoot! as you can see we had a fabulous weekend! Britton is a fun girl to be around...she keeps us in stitches!

It's so FLIPPIN' Cool!

Guess what I just bought? A Flip! Have you heard of it? Well if not it is one of the coolest lil' gadgets on the market today. (click the link above) It's a very small video camera. So small I can carry it in my pants pocket. It also has a underwater case too! I can't wait to video tape the kids in the pools this summer! I bought it with the hopes of posting Video updates of the kiddos for our extended family to view. I know many of you haven't seen my kids in years so with my new FLIP and YouTube you'll be able to watch them grow before your very eyes. How cool is that?

My first video is of Leia and her banged up body. OUCH! Her whole class went on a 26 mile bike ride on the
Sparta Bike Trails for Fitness week and poor Leia girl wipes out when the petal of her bike came off...she was in the standing position to get more speed and BAM the petal slipped off and so did her foot...totally wiped out. She took it well...a little sore now but healing is coming along.

Sorry about the verticle shot...I'm still learning how to use the camcorder and didn't realize that I had to hold it in the horizonal position. Oh well...I'll get better at it...promise. Well off to edit some more vidoes for ya...enjoy!

Leia with all her boo-boos! OUCH!
