Curacao, BABY!!!!

We had a fabulous time...I'm busy trying to edit pictures for my blurb book, but I'll have a few more up here soon! But this is Cas Abao Beach. On this day we drove around the island, stopping at Shete Boka National Park where waves crashed angrily along the shore (amazing), eating at a little restaurant about 30 feet above crystal clear water and where Jery jumped from that 30 foot ledge into the ocean, and then on to this beach.

Visiting with Camilla

Camilla came to visit (and there wasn't even a wedding to go to!!! ). :) It was great to see her. These are just a few of the snapshots I took while they were here...

Is the family getting tired of pictures, do you think?


Yep, I think they are! This is what I get from my dear husband when I ask to take his picture for my class!




But Breccan let me snap a nice one of him anyway...

BayLea & Backlight













BayLea is so graceful. She's beautiful!

backlight in the house

I was just practicing backlight with the kids in the house. They're sitting in front of my big window.


This is Breccan's obsession of the day...his daddy's measuring tape. He's going to "measure stuff, like the walls!"

Biscuits, baby!

Yummy biscuit recipe! And look! They turned out nice and fluffy! Woohoo!2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup shortening
3/4 cup buttermilk

Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; cut in shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk. On a flour surface, knead 10-12 times. Roll to 1/2 inch thickness; cut with a 2-1/2 inch biscuit cutter. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake at 450 for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown!

Windsor and Ethan's basketball game

We drove to Denver Saturday night. Our plan was to drive on into Windsor, but the kids were DONE with the driving thing. And I'm kind of glad because look at the view we got all the way from Denver Sunday morning to Windsor. Georgeous!

We picked up the twins and went to The Egg and I for breakfast. Good food!


Look at those two nut cases!


And then the real reason we were there was to watch basketball (and buy the kids some novels!). Ethan did sooooo well. I was so excited and so proud to watch him play!


Isn't this cool? He's 13...almost 6 foot, and he's going to get taller!
I'm a terrible sports shooter...just can't get clear, sharp pictures. But I LOVE this picture.

They lost by 1 point, but it was a great game. Ethan did so well, with many rebounds, several assists and 8 points!

Sweet...


I totally love it when they're sweet to each other! They were getting ready to watch E.T. and I heard them talking in quiet voices and thought...hmmmm, what are they up to? So I said "Hey guys, what's going on?" and they said "we're going to sit together to watch E.T." Ah, my heart melts. And then there was this pretty light coming through the window and so I had to have a picture.
