catchin' up

 
10.16.11
Be A Missionary. Everyday!

This was Anya's last time to sing in this choir without any siblings! Next month Mikalah will be up there! Of course, whether or not she sings or even stands there nicely remains to be seen. {smiles}





These are just a few things from the last couple of weeks. Corban loves his bouncy "toy seat" as we call it. And it is very obvious that Mikalah loves him! I had to ask her to stop kissing him so I could get a few pictures of his face. She is such a sweetie. About two weeks ago we were learning verse 10 after memorizing verses 8 & 9 of Ephesians 2: "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." after which Mikalah promptly said: "Mom, we walk on sidewalks." And the next time we went over it Anya asked is good works were sidewalks. Our kids keep us on our toes and laughing. Kyria is doing wonderfully in second grade. We just had our first PT conference of the year, and she is currently making all As.
 
We are getting ready for our Missions Conference at our church next week. Everyone is looking forward to meeting and getting to know some new missionaries as well as hearing from one we already support as a church.

For some reason I cannot upload a second video so I'll have to put Kyria's choir in another post.

strawberry cake

 because she with the ravioli on her face asked for it
 blue "3" candle

 oh yes. this is GOOD cake

She loves Strawberry Shortcake. Anya already has one little doll, so we got Mikalah Blueberry Muffin [since blue is her favorite color]. The cake is made from one square and one circle cake and 'glued' with frosting. It was a box mix made yummier with buttermilk instead of water and applesauce instead of oil. SO moist and flavorful! The 'seeds' on the strawberry were chocolate chips. I don't have any pics of her opening her gifts because they were all so blurry because that child will NOT be still. {haha} And she has still more to open on her actual birthday which is MONDAY!!! 
wow. 
my big girl.
 
'diagram' of the cake. lol

Courage is not the absence of fear, 
but rather the judgement that something else is more important.
