Our Budding Ballerina

noreply@blogger.com (kurtandjayna) — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 18:43:00 +0000

Madeline is quite the performer and loves to dance or show her gymnastic skills whenever she gets the chance. We enjoyed watching her experience a pre-ballet class for the first time this winter. And though she loved it, if she had to choose between gymnastics and ballet, she said she would choose gymnastics. This is no surprise to her parents and yet another example to show how very different she is from her mother.

Fruit and Pasta of the Spirit

noreply@blogger.com (kurtandjayna) — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 02:36:00 +0000

While Maddie and Jack were snacking on grapes, Fruit of the Spirit came up and they began listing them off.

Madeline: "Kindness, Peace, Goodness...."

Jackson: "Noodleness...."

Madeline: "Gentleness, Self-Control...."

And now I've got an old praise and worship chorus stuck in my head. You know, the one titled "Faithfulness", but instead the song in my head goes like this:

Noodleness, Noodleness, is what I long for.
Noodeness, Noodleness, is what I need....

View from my bedroom window: Icicles

Our latest wintry weather brought snow, frigid temps, and these rather large icicles growing off the roof line of our house. I'm not sure if that was a good thing for the structure of this old home, but they were sure a sight to behold!

Meet our new family member...

Maddie insisted she is a snowlady named Olivia.

Doesn't he know there are children in parts of the world who would LOVE to have this snowy experience?

At the Theater: If You Give a Pig a Party

noreply@blogger.com (kurtandjayna) — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 03:27:00 +0000

Most of our precious little gang after the play!
Instead of "Where's Waldo?", play "Where's Jack and what is he doing with his finger?"

It was a blustery, rainy day in Louisville, but what fun a group of moms from church had taking our kids to see "If You Give a Pig a Party" on stage in downtown Louisville! It was a delightful depiction with humor enough to go around for all ages.

Marble Run

noreply@blogger.com (kurtandjayna) — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 14:51:00 +0000

This last Christmas was the Christmas of 1,000,000 pieces. See below for exhibit A. I think this shows growth on my (Jayna's) part. This marble run was also joined by a Lincoln Log set, Lite Brite set, (small) Playmobil set, and some Polly Pockets. Mercy.

If I always had to get them clean and shiny, we'd never take pictures of them. So, there you go.

Madeline tends to like the camera, sometimes at the expense of others

Kids had a blast

Every fun family gathering involves back rubs

Game Time! (those are root beer bottles, btw)

Buck and Kurt, appearing to be fully engaged in family time and conversation, but...

...really watching FOOTBALL, of course.

Maddie tries her hand at cheerleading

Watch for Maddie at the right of the screen as she follows the cheerleader's every move. Almost.

High School Basketball @ Kurt's Alma Mater

GO Austin! (shown with the ball)

Even though the ball didn't make it through the hoop, Kurt's still got IT!

Maddie thoroughly enjoys basketball games when visit the fam up in Lima, OH. Or should I say, the cheerleaders. This might be as close as she gets to actual cheering. Hope she enjoyed it.

Making sure she's standing just like the cheerleaders

Oh my, what a play! Can you believe he did that?!!

I'm pretty sure I would have had to draw the line if Maddie asked for Krista's autograph

Jackson just enjoyed the ladies. He'll be quite disappointed when he realizes cousins Olivia (shown here), Amanda, and Kaitlyn are on his 'unmarriable' list

Snow Day!!!

noreply@blogger.com (kurtandjayna) — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 17:22:00 +0000

Yesterday we enjoyed about 5 inches of snow fall. I (Jayna) was able to get out with Maddie and Jack to frolic in it, followed by the standard hot chocolate. Yes, I said frolic. My endorphins were up since I've been to the gym 4 times this week. And yes, I said I went to the gym....

It'ssnowingIt'ssnowingIt'ssnowing!!!!!!!!

Warming up those rosy cheeks

"So, do you come here often?"

"Yup, the hot chocolate is out of sight."

Jackson's Collections

noreply@blogger.com (kurtandjayna) — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 17:05:00 +0000

We often find Jackson's various 'collections' of toys strategically placed around the house. As long as we don't step on them (those dinosaurs hurt!), it's rather delightful. I am curious of the method to his madness. He places his objects in the same direction, and I wonder what they're watching/listening to.

Hmmm.... almost right

Mass exodus

Congrats to the OSU Buckeyes, Rose Bowl Champions!
