Kitten update...

Meet Squeaky! He is adorable! He loves to play with my hair & settle down right up next to it on my shoulder. He and Spike chase each other all evening long... they're just funny to watch! He has the most beautiful turquoise blue eyes. At this time, Squeaky is still looking for a new home!

This is Spike! He, too,
is quite rambunctious! He has beautiful blue eyes! He loves to play with Squeaky and cuddle up with you when he's tired! Spike and Squishy are going to go home together!

This is Squishy. She was named Squishy because when she was born, her faced looked like it was squished in and her nose was flat, not pointy like the other kitties. It was how we told the white kittens apart. Now, she's become the most beautiful kitten of all... she looks just like her mommy, Mayleen did when we got her! Squishy loves her mommy, but because we're not sure if she uses the litter consistently, we had to find her a new home! Squishy loves to sleep with the kids, so she will be greatly missed!

Minnie... the kitty we planned on keeping all along!
Is going to a new home. She's going to live with an old High School friend of mine! :) She doesn't use the litter box, and with us going to a new home, we can't afford to take her with us... so... my wonderful friend is willing to train her and take her! How lucky she is to have a wonderful new family!

Midnight and MJ are the lucky ones who get to stay with us and their mommy! (As long as daddy agrees to keeping 2 kittens!) Both kittens are fluffy balls and fun! They love to chase each other up and down the stairs and then they'll cuddle up to each other when they're done! They are so cute! I just hope we don't have too much cat hair all over the house since they're so fluffy!

We love our kitties and hope their new families love them just as much!!!

Sade's first Track Meet!

Around the corner she sneaks into 1st...
What great form...

All the way to the finish line!!!!!

Sade had her first track meet last week in Lake Stevens. I wasn't planning on going, but then at last minute decided I'd go watch her run. Unfortunately I only got to see her run the 200m dash, but lucky for me, I got to see her win 1st place in her heat! Sade ran the 100m and the 110m hurdles before I even got to the meet. She was 7th in the 100m and 4th in the hurdles. Way to go, SADE!!!

My Grandma's 80th Birthday!

Happy Birthday, to you!

Happy Birthday, to you!

Happy Birthday, dear Grandma!

Happy Birthday to you!!!!On April 26th my Grandma turned 80. My mom came up from Oregon to throw her a wonderful Birthday party with her 3 children, 4 grandchildren, 10 great grandchildren & even her 2 great-great grandchildren! The party was at Forest Park in Everett and it was a beautiful day!!! We had pizza and cake and lots of fun watching the great grandchildren all play together! (another reason it's great to be back in WA)
WE LOVE OUR GREAT GRANDMA!!!!!

Kayode's trip to the Science Center

After taking Sade to the airport for her trip to FL, Kayode and I went to the Seattle Science Center with our membership that Grandma had bought us for Easter. He loved being the only child there as we could go wherever he wanted to go and stay as long as he wanted to stay. We spend most of our time in the bug house and touching the underwater animals. At the last minute he decided that we should go see the Under the Sea 3D movie. It was really good & he got his own little kids snack pack with popcorn, pop & a candy. He was in heaven! Just outside of the movie is a music display... he loved the huge guitar!!


On our way out, Kayode discovered the space shuttle and dinosaurs... he loved both! Maybe we have an aspiring astronaut or paleontologist.


I always feel so lucky when I can spend time with just one of the kids and help them feel special!

Sade's Trip to Florida

Monday morning after Easter Sade was lucky enough to get to pack up and head for Florida with her Papa & Grandma Annie. So, bright and early, Kayode & I got up to take her to the airport. Kayode informed me that morning that it was still night-time because the sun wasn't up yet and that he should still be in bed... too cute!Sade has never been away from home more than a day or two with friends, so it was really hard for me to let her go! No tears, but boy was I in for some testosterone at home being the only female!

She called at least once or twice each day, had a terrific time visiting Mickey & his friends at DisneyWorld, Epcot & Disney's Hollywood Studios. The best day for me, though... was when she came home! :)
