Alena's turns 7

Picture of Alena with her Strawberry Shortcake birthday decor.

We celebrated with her at ETC gymnastics, where her and Hannah take gymnastics lessons. They all had a great time. Here she is being tossed up into the air like a ragdoll.

Here are all her friends that came to celebrate with her.

Hannah posing on the new bench that my dad and I built. We ordered the blue cushion online from a site that does custom sizes.

I was teaching the children how to properly build a fort. Very important life skill.

Alena the shepherd and her little lamb.

Yes, it is a zoo around here. Seen above are two of the local inhabitants. Notice Christian (the elephant) has chicken-pox even though he had the immunization shot like everyone else.

Every man deserves to be able to sit on the couch and relax while reading the local paper.

Part of the girls home schooling is called "Galloping the globe". They study different countries of the world and at this time (2008-1-10) they were studying Korean. Note the jar of Kimchi and bulgogi and rice. Yummy!

Content is King...

It is well said that "Content is king" on the Internet. If a site consistently produces quality content that is well updated and maintained, it will naturally achieve a strong following and increase in traffic.

Since this site has none of the above attributes, it can only mean one thing:
You must be family! We love you too!

Erilynn was so excited to give this fruit candy stuff to her sisters. She was even more excited to get some herself.

The boys are pictured here finally receiving their "Baby's first ornament". They were over 2 and this was their third Christmas, but we have five kids - cut us some slack.

"Ok, kids. Let's all line up for a special family picture in front of all the presents." (Click on the pictures to enlarge)
