T.R.O.U.B.L.E
That is what this picture is full of! TROUBLE! The cousins swarmed Nannie and Grandad's house for a super fun week in June! We are so relieved that they will allow us to come back up and visit!
If you have ever met me...
You may have seen my "what the heck are you doing" face. Yes, this is me looking at Dave trying to figure out the camera with all the patience in the world. Can't you tell? I can't imagine why I have so many wrinkles.
Anna fairy tale
My favorite Anna story to date!
Last Easter, Anna may have said the funniest SO ANNA thing ever! Scott asked Daddy about the Easter story and he thought that it might be time to tell him a little more then the sunshine and rainbow version. (is there really one?) As he ended the explination with "and Jesus died on the cross but in three days, he ..." Anna chimed in and said "AND I WAS A FAIRY!" Oh my gosh, we laughed so hard I had tears flowing down my face. I thought it was the funniest thing I had ever heard!
When Anna was 3, my Dad mentioned "I think Anna has Fairies in her head." Well, Dad..evidently she was a fairy at one time! That explains it for us!

Scooter
Just a few of my favorite Scooter stories.
When Anna broke her arm we were told that she bruised her elbow when we went to Urgent Care. On the way home from the UC Anna was so nervous and sad about how it hurt and afraid to move. Scott said "It is OK Anna, I will let Winnie jump and nibble on me instead of you. I will make sure she does not get to you." Really??? He actually said that to his little sister! I was so impressed that he thought that much of her to protect her from Winnie. (Winnie was 5 months) That type of behavior is what we STRIVE to do wtih our kiddos. It just made my heart melt.
Scott, you give Anna your goggles because she learned how to go underwater with them and you knew that she would rather have yours then the pink ones.
Another great moment that you have had was at school. A couple of your friends were making fun of another classmate about her Art. You stood up for her and told your friends that that was not OK and that they should not make fun of her like that. They did not think that you were "cool" for doing that and you still stood your ground and stood up for a classmate. That night we told you that we would be more proud of you for doing something like this then answering the hardest math problem in the world! Keep up the good work, Scooter! We hope you continue to make the right decisions in life. It will get you far.
Lastly, you were a part of Vacation Church School last week and teachers and ministers came up to me and described how much of a leader you were. What a super fantastic compliment to be given! I really hope you continue to present yourself in public like you did this past week!

Winnie
How could anyone NOT love this face! Winnie is 6 months and the sweetest, mildest, laziest puppy in the world! We are so lucky!
Nutcracker...here we come!
Here we are at Anna's first recital ever! She loved the stage! She loved the costume! She loved the dancing! She was in heaven! I have to say that her brother was a super star. He watched every dance with enthusiasm and support. He is such a great brother for her. When the get along, they are the best of friends. I hope that they continue to love end respect each other as they grow older! I am sure they will have their (many) moments but all in all..you just want them to be there for each other! So far so good!
