More Birthdays

On March 4th, we celebrated Mary's birthday. Mary is now a TEENAGER. Wow! She is turning into a very beautiful young lady. Mary had a birthday with the family and then got to sleep over where Leah is house sitting. So here is a picture of Leah and the three young girls on Mary's birthday.

Kayla asked why we have so many birthdays at the beginning of the year. There are 2 in January, 3 in February, 3 in March. I told Kayla that it was all God's timing that you all were born. Each are a blessing and each one so special and unique. April is actually on off month.
Then on March 8th, we celebrated Michelle's birthday. We had another Fear Factor competition. The final competition was Kayla and Doug, Hannah and Leah. Hannah and Doug had to start the final race with ice cubes in a bath of blood looking liquid (actually red punch koolaid). One of the ice cubes had a key frozen in it. We had to find the one ice cube with the key using only our mouth, break it open with a hammer. Then run downstairs, where the partner was locked up with a lock and chains. Once the partner was free, both partners then raced up stairs to eat a jar of bland, liver and spinach Gerber's baby food. It was a race right down to the finish. Leah and Hannah won. Here is a picture of the new champs, at least for this round. It was totally a blast. We like to have fun in strange kind of ways.

And here is the birthday girl. Nathan totally made the cake for Michelle, and did a pretty good job. He also planned a lot of the games for Fear Factor.

Then tonight, Doug, Mary, Laura and Kayla went bowling. Monday night has been our bowling night. Half Price, so it is a pretty good deal. The girls are getting pretty good. The second game, Mary and Laura beat me. Kayla would have beat me but I managed to get a strike on the last frame to overtake her by 9 pins. Here is a picture of the three girls in action.
