Multi piano Recital

Cierra decided to play at the Multi Piano Recital in February 2009.(Lawrence, KS) There were 16 pianos and each piano had two piano players. It was unbelievable to hear these kids all play the same song at the same time. Cierra is very talented and has grown up so much! The above pictures are of her and her partner. When they played this all I could think about was Auntie Debbie! :) Enjoy listening to the video.

Fetch

Today I went to pick up David from school & then had to go get Cierra right after from choir. David and Nathan started in immediately with each other. Something like this......

David Lee- That's my belt Nathan

Nathan- No,it's not its mine!

Nathan-MOM!!!!!

Mommy- Boys stop it.......

A few minutes later..........................

David says 3 times......Nathan Can I just see it?

I say "Nathan you can share,right?

Nathan takes the belt & throws it in the back seat.....Looks at David Lee & says with a smirk "FETCH"
WOW!!! WE have to work on manners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some of my many Blessings

I just wanted to take the time to reflect on the Blessings of my life! Here are four of them!
David, Cierra, David Lee & Nathan. It's so easy to get caught up in the daily grind of life....I KNOW! But today,I want to say Thank you to my family for all the smiles, love, laughs and happiness they bring to my life! I love you all more then life itself.
To all who are reading this....................Thank you for being apart of our life. We love you all very much and are blessed to have you!

Nathan's other brother

This picture was taken on Chistmas eve. It is Nathan(4) and Gabe(10).

Nathan loves Gabe! He asks for Gabe to come over and play every day. If Cierra & David get to have a friend over for a day Nathan always pipes in that he wants to have Gabe over as his friend.

Gabe plays with Nathan, always includes him & is very patient. On Christmas Gabe took it upon himself to find,clean & piece together all the parts to all of his old power rangers and gave them all to Nathan:) Isn't that what it's all about anyhow?

Cierra's Beautiful Smile!

Yep! Cierra got her braces off today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She was greeted with balloons & a sign with all the kids names that were getting thir braces off today. She is one BEAUTIFUL girl! We are sooo proud of her & love that SMILE!!!!! :)

To my dearest David-

There are no words to express the depth of my love for you! I have made some of the stupidest mistakes in life & yet you continue to love me unconditionally.

I pray that one day you will know exactly how much I love and need you.
