All the girls decided to put on their dancing clothes! Deuce, Fess, Bean, Bug and Lili.

Smidge after her bath - so happy!

The girls are all waiting for J.A.'s birthday cake!

Even Smidge wants some! It was a DQ Blizzard Cake - Extreme Chocolate. Yummy!!!

Zoo had his cake and is now having fun with Uncle T.L.

Oh, oh! Watch the glasses!

Deuce and Bean playing a duet on the piano.

I thought this was a great shot of the two cousins!

I'll try to get the new pictures of Bug's birthday weekend up a little quicker than these! That was a really fun weekend, too. It's hard to believe that she is already 6!

Have a great week!

Shalom in Him,

Robin

Hello everyone,

Here are some more of the pictures from our hotel weekend in February with the family:


The girls had great fun in the "jet bath"!

More fun with all of the bubbles!

I guess part of the fun was because Grandma put in too much bubble bath! Oops!

They thought it was great, though!

All ready for bed, watching a movie and snacking on apples!

A closeup of the healthy bedtime snacking! Of course, I never mentioned that they also had chocolate milk with the apples! :-D

The next morning we had everyone in the pool areas. Here is Fenori, J.A. with Smidge, Bug, Zoo and Fess.

Smidge thinks the water is wonderful!

Zoo loved that he could go down the slide all by himself. He DID go down the big slide with me a couple of times, too.

J.A. letting Smidge get used to laying down in the water.

Bug holding Smidge under the watchful eye of Mommy. That's Lili watching, too.

Smidge loving the sun, water and a ball!

Zoo deep in thought at the top of the slide.

Bean practicing her floating while Daddy and Uncle T watch.

Deuce joining in the fun!

Grandma, Bug and Lili getting ready to go down the slide.

Bug peeking at Grandma just before going down the slide.

Here she is with the sun in her eyes after coming down the slide again.

We had a wonderful time at the pool. Then, after showers in the room, we all headed over to T and Fenori's. I have one more set of pictures to share from this weekend, then another big bunch of pictures from this past weekend when Grandpa and I went to spend the weekend with T.L., J.A., Bean, Bug and Smidge to help with their house and to celebrate Bug's 6th birthday (3/31). We had a great time!

This has been a really busy couple of months for us! Now I am definitely ready for Summer!

Shalom in Him!

Hello everyone!

Here are some pictures from our fun last weekend of February! The first pics are from my birthday when Fenori and the kids took me out for lunch :


It was Sunday so the kids were all dressed for church. Doesn't Lili look pretty?!

Fess and Deuce both matched Lili and looked so pretty, too!

Zoo matched his sisters and looked like such a little man!

He was very brave in the play area as long as he could see either his mommy or his sisters!

Zoo and Fess in the little kids area.

The weekend after this T.L., J.A. and the girls came to visit at T and Fenori's so that we could celebrate J.A.'s birthday, too. Grandpa and I got a king suite with a hot tub so that we could keep the 5 older girls over night. The pool was fantastic! It had a regular pool, a hot tub, a 3' deep pool with a slide, a great little toddler pool are with a tiny slide and waterfall and a little play area! The kids ALL had a very fun time! I'll put the first of the pictures here and then some more in the next post.

Here is the hot tub. The girls called it their "jet bath" and they LOVED it!

Here are Fess and Zoo when we first checked in to the room.

Fess liked the really big bed!

We had subs for supper, supplied by Grandpa, of course!

Grandpa, T and Deuce eating supper and watching sports on TV.

Zoo trying out the "really big bed"! He didn't get to spend the night, so we let him have his fun now.

Here is the slide that they couldn't get enough of!

Lili in the pool. What a cutie!

Deuce and Lili having fun.

Zoo in the little kids pool with a ball.

Fess sliding down the little slide. She didn't really need her floaty suit here.

Zoo with Grandpa splashing in the waterfall.

Fess and Zoo with Grandpa. Zoo really liked how the water splashed off his hands!

Fess looks like she's really enjoying the water!

T with Zoo by the slide. Zoo would even go down the slide with me the next day - what fun!

Deuce jumping in to the 3' pool. Having a pool at home has caused them to love swimming!

Lili jumping in. It kind of looks like "side saddle". This must be a "princess" way to jump in!

T helping Zoo "swim" while Deuce and Lili cheer him on!

T, Zoo and Deuce - cute!

Here is Zoo getting his "explorer" on! He had to check out that closed door, you know!

We had such a great time! T.L., J.A. and the girls didn't arrive until about 8:30 pm, so these pictures didn't include them. The next post will have everyone!

I am really believing God for some warm weather now! The ski hill here has been officially closed, so I won't be hurting my skiing friends by doing so! If we could skip Spring and get right to Summer, I would be ecstatic! I know, why do I live in Wisconsin then? Ok, I will be grateful for every single clear, warm, Spring day, knowing that Summer's coming! Hallelujah! Seriously, though, I AM very grateful to our awesome God for my life, health, prosperity, family, church, friends and a job that I would do even if I didn't get paid! I am SO blessed! And so are you! Blessed to BE a blessing!

Remember to thank the One, True, Most High, Living, Almighty God of the Universe, the God of the Bible, for every good thing in YOUR life!

Shalom in Him!

Robin
