Ashley & Courtney

My little girls are not so little anymore, on March 30th they turned 14. Talk about little they have been taller than me for over a year now and still our growing, they think they are slowing down though. So in honor of their birthday I thought I would share one of their talents with you, it's more of an obsession with them, but I'll take it. They love art, every year for birthday's and Christmas all they really ask for is sketchbooks and art supplies ( what parent would complain about that?).

So here is some of their work.


Ashley's Art





This was Ashley's first attempt at painting. As you can tell she's a Star Wars fan (I wonder where that came from?)

Courtney's Work:

This is Courtney's second painting that she has ever done.

This is Courtney's first painting, she painted this picture of me for Christmas. I told her I love that she made me youger and thinner :-)

Our Possessed Car

This happened last Sunday, but I still thought it was funny enough to share. So Sunday afternoon we were just sitting around reading, napping, you know the usual Sunday activities, when all of a sudden the alarm on our van started going off (you know the annoying horn). I scrambled and found my keys and turned it off. We all looked at each other, asked where Kaleb was (our first thought of why it went off). Found everyone to be innocent and sat back down. A minute later it started going off again. I turned it off and it immediately happened again. I started the car up thinking that would help (David thought it was a silly idea but at least it wouldn't go off while it was on). Then the sliding door opened and shut on its own (it's electrical) so then we started really wondering what was going on. Then the alarm went off again and the door opened again.

David went and found the other set of keys, it was sitting in a pool of water on the counter. Amazingly enough when we dried it up no more weird electrical problems, imagine that. Well we had a good laugh, it was the most excitement we had all day.
