Deja Vu

Mark 4/10/11 Mark 9/9/06

This is still one of my all time favorite pics of him!

Mark was dressed so cute on Sunday for church so naturally I wanted to take his picture. After I did and I was looking through the pictures, I could not believe what I saw. It was like the day he was dressed for the Cutest Baby Popcorn Fest Parade, but 5 years later. So I have included the pictures from 5 years ago when he won. Even 5 years later, he is still just the cutest boy ever!

Beautiful Day

Last Sunday it was absolutely beautiful outside. I thought it would probably be my last chance to take the kids outside to play since I had to work all day Monday and Tuesday was my knee surgery. I took their Easter pictures, and even though they didn't turn out great, I thought after the torture they deserved to go and play, so I took them to Valplayso. After that we ran a couple errands and then went over to Craig and Judy's where they played outside again. It was a busy, but fun day!

Tennis Anyone?

We have definitely had our ups and downs with weather out here lately. It's beautiful one day and crappy the next. Once the kids got a taste of playing outside, that is all they want to do. So this particular day it was just way too cold and windy to play outside so we decided to bring the tennis inside. Mark and Makenna had a great time hitting the ball against the wall, and then even started making up games. They were getting empty bottles of water out of the recycle bin and seeing if they could hit it with the ball and knock it over. They were so proud.

The Star Wars Knight and Cowgirl

Here is a video of Mark and Makenna acting Silly. I think Mark thought I was taking a picture of him at first, and then realized it was a video. He still loves his knight stuff, but loves his star wars light savers. Makenna is still making up songs and dancing around. Enjoy!

Stylin'

Here are some pictures from Mark before Church. He was Lookin' Good!

Mark 1st Soccer Game

Mark had his first soccer game today and he did really well! He even scored a goal! He still doesn't "attack" the ball like we would like him to, but he is definitely doing better. He really enjoys it though, so that's all that matters. I did get his goal on video, but there was a lot of magnet ball going on so it was hard to see him. He was really excited!

Mark Goal

Mark Reading

Here is a video of Mark reading from last week. I have been trying to upload it for a while now. Mark has been working really hard on learning how to read. He has been doing really well. He is learning more everyday!
