Hail to the Bumble...
Very strange weather in Woodinville these past months - here is Addison out in the hail in April (no that is not dandruff in her hair)...afterward we had thunder and lightning and it snowed two weekends in the same month. She was cooling off after her basketball practice...
Crocheted hat anyone?
To pass the time while he was laid up after surgery, Nairne learned to crochet hats...he has made several and sells them to kids at school...
Track
Seattle, Addison and Hollan are all in track in their respective schools. Seattle just finished her 2nd track meet last night: She placed first in three events: triple jump, 200 m hurdles and relay. She placed 3rd in 100m hurdles. In her first meet last week she placed first in the 100m, 200m hurdles, and triple jump and second in 100m hurdles. She is on both the Varsity and JV teams depending on where they play and who doesn't show up.
Wednesday Hollan competed in his first track meet - he ran in the 75, got 5th - and the long jump - got 3rd. Addison raced in the 75, got 1st; relay, got 1st and placed second in the ball kick. I opted to watch their meet without my camera so I could actually see what was going on (plus it was raining...) I will take photos at their next meet and pass them along..

Hello Everyone!
Very busy at work. I won $100 gift certificate for getting all 5's for my customer service comments. (1 is worst, 5 is best). I got my hair cut and dyed because it is very long and I have grey hair...yuck! Daaron is great! Roman is working hard. Happy Mother's Day to all my sister's! Love you all!

Update
Paola - still wants to sleep with Mom and Dad. She wakes up at around 2 every morning to yell at us to give her water. She then has nightmares where she hits us for about an hour, then she falls asleep. In daylight she reverts to an adorable child.
Vanessa - is starting to become more precocious, even though she is still precious. She loves her Barbie dolls and has claimed all 30+ Barbie dolls as her own and will defend them with her life.
Tatiana - is still the most outgoing and smiley of the girls. She kicks the ball in soccer now and again and has imagined making several goals.
Sofia - is a midfielder for soccer, but really enjoys gymnastics. She is great at cartwheels and roundoffs. She just got approved for gifted classes but doesn't enjoy school as much as her sisters. She does have a lot more girlfriends.
Susana - is an excellent forward and goalie in soccer. Is on the swim team and enjoys that, but is concerned that she is the slowest swimmer - she is also the youngest swimmer by about one year. She loves her gifted class, all her classes are As. She is #2 in the elementary school in Accellerated Reader points - over 400 now.
Gabriella - is a great midfielder in soccer and fairly good swimmer. She has mostly As with one B each semester (usually in Science or Social Studies). She is in gifted but doesn't really talk about it. She has the most Accellerated Reader points in her school 500+. Her goal is to reach 600 points. No one in her school had ever reached 500 before, so she is in uncharted waters.
Melca - is having heavy constant contractions and the baby dropped. We still haven't decided on a name. I want Huracan and she wants Daniel James II. Is still watching baby boy until school ends. Is now the Primary President and is doing a great job. She runs to my office every day or so to notarize documents for me for free.
Dan - is busy with new office. Got released as 2nd counselor and called back as 2nd counselor with new Bishop. Last two weeks have been municipal court judge pro tem, district court judge pro tem three times, married 3 couples won my first contested preliminary hearing, done adoptions on 3 people divorces on 2 and counselled 2 others to try and reconcile before divorcing. Maybe will represent a guy who allegedly sexually abused his daughter and is facing life in prison.
