I-PHONE "ITIS"

Kamarin loves her I-phone. Ummm, I mean LOVES!!. Can one love something a little to much? Alas, she has been diagnosed with I-phone "itis". And, yes it is contagious! All of her friends seem to share this condition. The phone never leaves the body...it is either attached to the hip or hands. It even sings to the holder. The doctor says it is not attached permanently. But, removal can be painful & the holder can go through withdrawal symptoms. It will be tough, but we know that Kamarin is a strong girl. She will get through the difficulty of intermittently parting with the said object. We will start off small...homework, brushing teeth, & times of sleep. This is what family togetherness is all about. I know she will thank us later.

LEGO'S, LEGO'S, LEGO'S

We are rich!!! Rich with Lego's that is. Our dear friend Donna has been searching for Lego's at every yard or garage sale she visits. This week she hit the jackpot!!!! She found us a huge tub full of all shapes & sizes of Lego parts. Of course, since they were a second-hand purchase, they had to be cleaned. It filled the tub almost to the top. And, man, some of those pieces are tiiiinnnyyyy. I spent an entire day: bleaching, rinsing, and then scooping them out with a colander. Then, they had to be dried & sorted. We now have around 100 lego people. You can build any kind of person that that you can think up!! We have police, race car, cowboys, skeleton, etc. My boys are in heaven. We spent Family Home Evening creating together. I made a very cool Indiana Jones castle....booby traps and all.

Parker is following in his Daddy's footsteps...the camera man! When he is sitting on the sidelines, he is always a clown. He is such a fun kid to have around!

PARKER'S TRICK

Parker's team won their game again this week. He is a master at turning the ball around & sending it down the field the other direction.
