Champions!

Curtis has been playing soccer for the squadron team this year. They only lost one game this season and played in the championship game last night. They won 1-0. Caleb snuck in for the picture.

Move Over, Diego

Move over Diego, Here comes Nick.

He found a turtle in the back yard yesterday and decided he had better rescue it! He picked it up and we hopped in the car (we were headed out for errands anyways!) and took it to a nearby pond.

He took it down and let it go near the waters edge. We stayed and watched a minute as it stuck out its head to make sure that he was safe.

Nick loves turtles and wants to keep one, but I think we will stick to a dog!

Catch Up

Sorry, school got out last week, so I have been a little busier than normal. I am getting a new rhythem down so I can find time to post.

Megan has got it all figured out. She has got her cell phone and backpack. Now she and baby can hit the road! And notice our resident monkey Nick hanging from the counter. If it is something to somehow hang from, he does.

Corn Shooter, Jr.

While growing up my father was affectionately known as the corn shooter. He could eat 10+ ears of corn in one sitting. Well, I think that he has some competition. Megan can seriously down some corn(interestingly enough, since she doesn't have all of her teeth yet!) So Papa Cal you might have to give over your title to this little corn shooter!

No Pictures Lately

These last couple of weeks have been very busy. We have had lots going on, but didn't take any pictures!

Nancy came out to the Kansas City area with her institute group to visit church sites. We went up and met her in Independance. We got to see her for a couple of hours. It was good to see her!

Curtis was called as Elders Quorum President. He makes a great leader, but I am sure that he wouldn't admit that!

I was able to be with a friend with she had her second baby. Her husband was deployed and missed the birth. It was great to be included in such a miracle!

Jake and Nick are counting down the days at school. They no longer come home with homework, but are slowly emptying out their desks and lockers. They have lots of fun activities planned. It hardly seems like school!

Caleb and Megan are the same. Caleb takes over my living room daily with the train set. And Megan mothers all her babies, and kicks Caleb's train set!

Why Caleb Loves The New House

Since our new house has more living room space, we have more area than furniture. But Caleb had a great idea for it! He got this Thomas train set 2 Christmases ago. He played with it down in our old basement. I didn't know where to put it here so I planned on selling it at a yard sale. But he LOVES it. So we set it up in the living room. It obviously will not stay set up, but I guess it is a good thing for him to do during Megan's nap. It keeps him busy for hours, and hey, that is not a bad thing!

Bella is quite the bandit. She chases after the trains trying to derail them!

Spring Soccer

Tonight was the last game of the season for Jake and Nick's soccer season. This year they tried indoor soccer on base because of the number of cancelled games and practices last year with the rain. I think that it worked out really well. Curtis was Jake's coach this year. Both of the boys did really well. They love soccer and really get into it.
