Pascal at yesterday's track meet

Imagine...

My most recent poem. I like this one a lot..

Note: the crossed out words are supposed to be unspoken.

I Can Play!

I don't know if you know this, but I have been playing the violin since October. It's not really that hard... I did two of my favorite songs; their called Achievement March and Indian Dance. Can you tell which is which? It was on the computer's camera, so it's a little screechy.

Carsten earns a new belt!

At Mom's Work

I went to my mom's work today with Athena. We put a net on her, and I took some cool pictures. (These are my favorites.)

...I love my camera.

We Got a Soccer Goal!

Last weekend we got a soccer goal! (We put it in our backyard.) It's called a re bounder, because it has a bunch of bungee cords on the side so it's really tight. That way, we can hit it at the goal and it can bounce right back. So we can do it again (and again, and again.) It is supposed to make our kicks stronger. I am supposed to do 100 kicks with my right foot each day and a few with my left. Pascal is supposed to do 100 with his left and a few with his right. (Assigned by Dad.) It's that way because Pascal is right footed and I am a lefty. It took forever to set up, but it is already worth it. I don't know about Pascal, but Saturday, Sunday, and today I've done it. It goes really fast... I thought you might want to see it.

Freedom (By Frances)

One of the many poems I've written. Click on the picture to see the whole thing.

A Trip To Costco

Last night, Mom, Dad, and Frances went on a trip to Costco. They got so much food.

Over 77 cans, a ton of noodles, lots of freezer foods, two bags of dried, sugar covered mangos, boxes of cereal, many apples, chicken broth, yogurt, meats, and much, much more.

That night, we had noodles, veggis and chicken pot pie for dinner. Yum.

We will not have to go grocery shopping for a while.

I Love Restaurants

Well I love restaurants. I decided to give you my top 5...

1. IHOP
2. Chapala's
3. BJ's
4. Red Robin's
5. The waffle place that burned down

It's to bad that the waffle place burned down. It was my fifth favorite restaurant to eat at... Oh well. There's still IHOP. Maybe they'll build another one.

Painting The Hallway Cabinet

Mom has been painting the hallway cabinet. It was quite ugly before she started. Now it looks great. Mom's going to store her sewing stuff in it. She used to make lots of things, but then we moved. She plans to sew a lot once again. Here are a few before and after pictures.

So Busy!

Our family is so busy! We just had another three sport events today. I thought that you might want a look into of what's happening... Here it is.

Frances- Frances is not doing any sport, but every Friday she goes to a computer class on campus.

Pascal-Pascal is on two soccer teams named Mariposa and Riverplate. Riverplate, (His club team) is currently playing in the State Cup tournament. Mariposa is playing two years up (U14). Pascal does not play basket ball, and neither does Athena. He is also currently on the Cal Young track team, and can run the 1500 in 5 minutes and 41 seconds!

Athena- Athena is on two soccer teams, too. they are named the Strikers and Athletica. Strikers are playing U12, and Athletica is playing U11. Athletica is having tryouts for the new year this coming May!!

Carsten- Carsten has probably stopped soccer, but does kung fu every Tuesday and Thurday at about 5:30 to 6 something. I really don't know.

A Few Pics Of The Nia Visit

Antonia Finally comes!

Well, Nia came last Monday. She came at 3:56 P.M, weighing 7 pounds, 13 ounces, and we came up on Tuesday. She was so cute. We all missed school to go see her. On the way back, we had a great lunch at AppleBee's. We all had such a terrific day; following with soccer practices for some of us!

Visiting Nev

Frances and I babysat Genevieve for a few hours last Saturday. Here are a few pictures that Frances took.
