Rory was the huffalump. man have we got a lot of use out of this thing. it has been worn by all three of my girls and our friend sophie! rory loved it. i was impressed with her. she kept the hat on almost all night.

Cassidy was excited to be on the big hay bail.

Just becuse party!

I felt so bad that katie has been moved around so much over the past year. she hasn't had much of a chance to get friends. so we are lucky that almost her whole primary class is in her class at school. I wanted them to have a chance to party and hang out. so katie got 5 friends and we had a princess girl party. leif took the two little ones and i was stuck at home with 6 5 year olds. i was a little scared at first, but i had great fun. i painted toes, let them make their own pizza and got to play duck, duck, goose and red light, green light. it was very fun! i might even do it again!

Zoo with the Strassers and Grandparents!

The girls were so cute.

Ashlynn and her baby. (she loves to help rory, who she kept calling a baby. eventhough she is only 4 months younger)

Words to live by...

Cassidy was counting for hide and seak with katie, "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,16... no thats not right! 14,15,16,17,18,19,20!"

i was talking to my mom on the phone the other day when she asked my sister, "hey jenna, do you know where the phone is?" I heard jenna in the back ground... "Mom its in your hand!" - KayC Butler

i called katie a silly girl and she responded, "no no daddy i'm a brat." - Leif

At dinner we gave the waiter our credit cards (about 6), we all had Wells Fargo. "How are we going to know who's is who's once he gives them back to us?" - Amanda Dustin

"Daddy whats wrong?" Leif says, "Roxy is just being a butthead." "A butthead like Cassody?" - Katie

Morgan was telling a joke and while everyone was laughing Sarah asked, "Is that one i can get?" - Sarah

Leif was doing mom's hair... "Shorty your hair is to dry." "I know i used a different conditioner." "No, its not wet." - Shorty

At dinner Maggie said, "Jake is a bugger." Kris who was a couple of seats down freeked out, "You ate a bugger!!!"

When God made Paramedics

When the Lord made Paramedics, he was into his sixth day of overtime when an angle appeared and said, "You're doing a lot of fiddling around on this one."

And the Lord said, "Have you read the specs on this order? A paramedic has to be able to carry an injured person up a wet, grassy hill in the dark, dodge stray bullets to reach a dying child unarmed, enter homes the health inspector wouldn't touch, and not wrinkle his uniform. " "He has to be able to lift 3 times his own weight, crawl into wrecked cars with barely enough room to move, and console a grieving mother as he is doing CPR on a baby he knows will never breathe again." "He has to be in top mental condition at all times, running on no sleep, Mountain Dew and half eaten meals.

And he has to have six pairs of hands. "The angel shook her head slowly and said, "Six pairs of hands... no way." "it's not the hands that are causing me problems," said the Lord, "It's the three pairs of eyes a medic has to have." "That's on the standard model?" asked the angle. The Lord nodded. "One pair that sees open sores as he's drawing blood and asks the patient if they may be HIV positve, (when he already knows and wishes he'd taken that accounting job.) "Another pair here in the side of his head for his partners' safety. And another pair of eyes here in front that can look reassuringly at a bleeding victim and say, " You'll be all right ma'am" when he knows it isn't so."

"Lord, said the angel, touching his sleeve, "rest and work on this tomorrow." "I can't, said the Lord, "I already have a model that can talk a 25o pound drunk out from behind a steering wheel without incident and feed a family of five on a private service paycheck." The angel circled the model of the paramedic very slowly, "Can it think?" she asked. "You bet," said the Lord. "It can tell you the symptoms of 100 illnesses; recite drug calculations in it's sleep; intubate, defibrillate, medicate, and continue CPR nonstop over terrain that any doctor would fear... and still it keeps it's sense of humor.

This medic also has phenominal personal control. He can deal with a multi-victim tramua, coax a frightened elderly person to unlock their door, comfort a murder victim's family, and then read in the daily paper how paramedics were unable to locate a house quickly enough, allowing the person to die. A house, which has no street sign, no house numbers, no phone to call back."

Finally, the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek of the paramedic. "There's a leak," she pronounced. "I told you that you were trying to put too much into this model." "That's no leak," said the Lord, "It's a tear." "What's the tear for?" asked the angel. "It's for bottled-up emotions, for patients they've tried in vain to save, for commitment to that hope that they will make a difference in a person's chance to survive, for life." "You're a genius," said the angel. The Lord looked somber. "I didn't put it there," He said.
