Moustaches de Zoe

This picture of Zoe just cracks me up! She looks like Inspector Clouseau and she should speak with a rrrridiculous accent! She and Jensen used black marker on clear tape to make their 'mustaches'. They were pretty funny!

My, what BIG teeth you have!

Madeline took these pictures of Carson playing with his magnifying glass. So funny looking!!

The BIG 4-0!

Matt turned 40 and like Forest Gump said, 'that's all I have to say about that.'
I did have fun making cherry chip cakes in my new mini bundt pans though :)

Madeline playing basketball

Madeline made the JV basketball team at school this year. She had fun and improved her skills. Here's a little clip where she rebounds and scores. She's so tall already! She is officially 1/4" taller than me now!

Grandpa Smith

My Grandpa Smith, who is 89, was on his way to South Africa with my Aunt Brenda and Uncle Val and had a 5 hour layover at the Seattle airport, so we went and met them there for a little visit. It was great to see him! He is going blind, but still so sprightly and energetic. It's neat that the kids have a Great-grandpa that they can know in their lifetime. Grandpa has had such an interesting life. I am anxiously awaiting his written accounts of some of the battles he was a part of in WWII. Too bad we couldn't see him play his bagpipes on this trip!

Zoe at Port of Tacoma

Zoe had a field trip to the Port of Tacoma. It was really cool to see them unloading container ships and all the specialized machinery. Those longshoremen make like $300K a year! It was a really interesting field trip.
