Our Girl Turns 6!!

RM celebrated her 6th birthday with a "Think Pink" Barbie party. Guests raced to dress the Barbie, played pin the ponytail on the Barbie, and mostly played with cousin MG's huge Barbie collection. Aunt B and I made the classic doll cake in a vintage glam style. The birthday girl wore her Walmart Babie glitter t-shirt for the special day!
She is such a special girl! She is a helper to everyone in the family, very respondsible and tender hearted. She is a treasure!!!

The Dove soap company has made several videos as part of their Campaign for Real Beauty. I viewed this one at a class I took this Spring. It is a must see for moms. Follow this link and choose Onslaught- although they are all good.

Mt. Hood

HOW BEAUTIFUL IS OREGON??!! Hiked on Mt. Hood with Laura P. She is a hiking machine, but I was to pooped to go to the top of Palmer. Still a great view!

AWANA IS A GREAT PROGRAM!

We just finished AWANA for the year!! This was Ruby's 3rd year, Liza and AJ's first and my 3rd as a leader. What a great program that puts God's word in their minds and hearts. We can reflect back to those verses in times of celebration, "...the LORD has risen..." or times of disciple, ..the LORD detests lying lips...". All 3 of them, like most kids, can memorize like crazy!!
YOUTH ON THE MARCH!
