Earrings

Here's a photo of Grace's new earrings. We took her to the mall last week and got them pierced with some little pink diamonds (not real of course). She cried a little bit after the first ear but was very brave and didn't throw a fit for the second ear. I have to clean around the earrings 2 to 3 times per day which she doesn't like, but the earrings don't seem to bother her and they aren't red or irritated.
We went to a wedding this weekend for Mike's cousin, Alex, and his bride, Megan. It was a beautiful wedding and very honoring to God. The kids did well on Saturday with no nap even though they didn't get to bed until after 11 pm. Only Weston slept well at the hotel as both girls were waking up and crying during the night. Mike and I felt like zombies today and ....why am I still awake right now ...I should be in bed!!! Zombie girl will remove herself from the computer and go to bed right now ;)

The Mask Ba

Here's a few photos I took after the kids made some masks out of cardboard and ribbon. Weston "wrote" (he dictated while I wrote) a story about a boy and his mask. Here's the story:

"The Mask Ba" by Weston Dahl (I'm not sure what "Ba" is, but he insisted it be in there) :)

One day the little boy got a mask from his friend, Da-Jezu. Then he went off hunting with his daddy and his mask tied to his helmet. The boy and his daddy shot a deer. The boy shot the deer with his bow and arrow and the daddy also shot an elk. Jesus helped them to shoot the deer and the elk. On the way home the boy and the daddy were walking on the edge of a logging road and they tripped and fell into a big river. Luckily, there was a police boat on the river and the police saw them fall in. There was also a fire on the river so the fire truck and the ambulance also came. The police officers also were able to get the deer and the elk out of the water. The ambulance carried the daddy and the boy to the hospital so they could get a very important surgery. The mommy came and got them from the hospital and also the little boy's sister.

The End

Cinderella!

Here's a photo of Grace in her "Cinderella" dress. My mom sent it to her in the mail. She wasn't that excited about it until I told her she looked like Cinderella in it. Then she liked the dress so much that she wanted to wear it to church on Sunday.
