Step 3...enjoy the ride and flap your arms.
Step 4....say,"Ta-Da".

More 3TV Pics

Kids with Tara and Dan
Kids with Olivia
Their big TV moment!!

By the steam engine
Brad was out about town so this is the only pic we got of him. He was standing in a sea of 2nd graders.
Good-Bye!! (I think Olivia really liked the kids)



Klara's doo-rag. The tv station handed out the "hankies" with their road trip on them. I just can't stop saying how great everyone on the crew was. One producer even took us into the news van for a look.....what a fun day. Hmmm, who had more fun....kids or mom???!!

3 TV

Yeah, we just got back from being on 3TV. The news came to our little town on their road trip and took over the train station. The steam engine was out as well as the TV personalities. Everyone was so nice and friendly. The kids even got a close up at one point which I've added a link for. http://www.azfamily.com/video/gmaz-index.html?nvid=243312&shu=1
Ok, I hope that works. The kids are just on the begining of the clip in case you don't want to watch the whole thing. Anyways, it sure was fun and I'll get the pics that I took loaded soon.

Now it's May....

Gee, is it really May already??? It's been busy month and will continue that way, but that makes good photo chances!
Klara and I painted our nails. She just loves them and now only wants to wear sandals.
Bumble Bee
Kaleb took this pic.
Kaleb "watering" our grass, and Dexter only got a little wet....
Sitting on my old rocking chair.Klara with her cousin.
We took a trip to see more family and help around the house. This is a before pic of laying the wood floors.
This is kind of the after shot.
Sure looks good and will look great when it's swept up and cleaned. It was a lot of work, but fun too and the results are great. I think we all want wood floors now.

Klara our climber.

Phoenix Trip in April

We took a fast trip to Phoenix to visit family. Here are a few pics of the trip.

The kids pose next to their names in the concrete. Rob is making a new shower and said it was ok. It will be covered up by the tile in the shower, but at least we have the pic to prove it.








A day at the park.
Kaleb will finally go down the "dark" slide.
Who's up there?
Umm, is this safe??
Klara and her Papa



Kaleb with Great Granny Nadine.
Before church we stopped by to say hi to Granny.
After church, time for the pool.
Dexter loves the grass and sun.
Pool fun for both.




When we got back home we went out for a night on the town. We stopped at our local pizza shop and had a great dinner, went for ice cream and then treated to a free horse drawn carriage ride. A friend of mine takes the pics and then sells them to the riders, but he gave us ours. I don't have a scanner, but this came out ok I think. The kids loved it and continue to ask to ride the horse when we go by. What a great day that was!

Kaleb is in heaven!
Monkey see, monkey do.
The kids got to pet a baby chick. Klara wasn't too sure, but Kaleb would have loved to take one home.

Finally, I have a few mintues to do this update.
