Twin Rocks

It's camp time!! Talk about a busy week. This week the kids are going to Day Camp during the day and then Vacation Bible School in the evenings. They have been very busy! Here are a few pictures from Day Camp.

Miss Princess Found A Home

What a special day for Gracie!! She has been wanting the unicorn pillow pet so bad but has been unable to find one. Finally, after searching, she settled on her pig. Although she loved her pig, it was no Unicorn. Well, today, her dear, great aunt Chris and Jordon, along with the rest of Ferral gang, sent along Miss Princess (Grace named her this).

Seconds after I shut off this video, Grace looked up at me and said, "Oh Mom!!! Can you believe it?! I'm going to go introduce her to Pinky (pig pillowpet) and everyone else. Hmmm, what's her name?"

A Friday Song

It sure has been quite a while since I have had time to do any blogging. Today, Madison sang a song in chapel and wanted to sing it for me when she got home. Of course, Reece and Grace wanted to sing along too. Then they asked if they could video it and put it up on the blog. How could I tell them no?

**The video I really wanted to put up, just doesn't want to load, so . . . we'll just settle for this. They are still pretty cute.

Happy Thanksgiving

We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

DNA

"Mom, I left some DNA out in the grass." Reece tells me tonight. We were standing in the kitchen and he was working on making his dinner.

"What Reece?" I look over at him startled. "Do you know what DNA is?"

"Yep, it's stuff that's in our body." He says, not missing a beat. He looks over at me and smiles sheepishly. "I spit in the grass."

Grace's First Day

Grace's first day of school.

I figure Grace can tell you better, about her first day.

A Bit About Each

Grace wore a shirt a few days ago that says, "Daddy's Girl". Reece, Madison and I were at school and Grace was to spend the day with her daddy. Mike had some errands out in Portland to do, so he told Grace to get dressed. She came out with her shirt on and told Mike, "See my shirt, Dad? I'm wearing it because I love you and this is our day."

This kid is insane. I dared him to run through the fountain. I told him, if he did it, I would do it too. He called my bluff and ran through it. Then, trying to really make me pay, he kept running through it and got completely drenched. He figured, that however many times he ran though, I would have to run through. I told him, this Mama only made one deal, he go through,
I go through. That's it. Anyways, I went through and of course, got pretty wet and cold. But, for one evening, I was a cool mom who still played around.

Madison is becoming quite the young lady. She has become a very good brownie baker. I love that I can ask her to make some brownies and she will go and do it all herself. She has opinions about everything. I love to go shopping with her and giggle when she heads to the sale racks to save money or will find coupon and pull it and put it into my coupon folder. She is a great help to keep tally of my spending when we grocery shop. She is very loving and affectionate.
