Birthdays and other assorted photo ops

This, dear blog readers, is what a typical 13-year-old looks like:

Yup-Allyson is now 13. The phone is indeed stuck to her ear, although she does not seem to be at all bothered by it. We had a great time together on her b-day. I took her to the Clinique counter, where she got a suh-weet makeover, and some new make-up and skin care stuff. Then we had lunch at Olga's, and went shopping! It was a perfect "girl-day"! We ended the day watching a few episodes of season 3 of "24"-Ally's favorite show. We will be overrun with teen girls this Friday, when Allyson host's a birthday sleepover. The fun has only just begun!
Here are the kids on Easter Sunday. They are really growing up good!

Check out Eric's sweet tie!


Kenton's birthday was on the 5th-he's eight now! We had a wonderful day with him, as well! Dad earned major points by getting him a new x-box controller and a new video game! We also got him a bible story book written comic book style, which he totally loves!

Here is Kenton opening the Picture Bible.

Judging by this reaction, Jason and I think he likes the video game.

What a handsome little man!
Things have been pretty busy around here: we finished up this season of "Behold the Lamb", the annual Easter play our church does. Allyson and Jason had major roles this year, and they both did an amazing job. Should you be interested in ordering a DVD, let me know!
Now, we have a brief amount of time that will be relatively normal, and then it will be camp season!

My nephew turned 13 today. I was shocked on the Skype chat when I heard a manly voice. Wow. My son will be there later this year.

I'm so not ready for the teens.

Happy Birthday to your dc. I love the makeover idea.
