Day 2 (Saturday)So much fun! We woke up Sat. and had breakfast together. Maria thought it was a little strange that Katelyn likes peanut butter on her pancakes...lol
Maria made cookies for the first time, chocolate chip & M&M monster, they were yummy!! They had fun :) They made them for the welcoming party, they went very quickly :)
I think Maria was amazed at the amount of rummage sales, I think she thought is was kinda funny, people selling their junk from their yard. We went to a rummage sale at church where she saw something else she thought was only in the movies...a dunk tank...lol...she didn't hit the bulls-eye, but she had a blast trying...lol...then to lunch at Taco Bell :) 
Then for the welcome party, the girls looked so beautiful when they came down stairs :) We all had a great time hanging out with the other families & friends. And more dunk tank...lol...not only did Maria hit the bulls-eye, but she even volunteered with Katelyn to sit in the tank! Crazy girls! lol :)




Back at our house with friend just hanging out, getting to know each other, great day! 
Day 3 (Sunday) Maria said she thought our church is "cool" & she liked our pastors hair...lol...she even got to see our friend Joe propose to his girlfriend Annette...very fun!
Off to a birthday party for the girls! Paloma's host family's daughter had a birthday, they rode the golf cart, a swung from the trees..lol..then
finished off the
party with a BBQ :)
Back home for a movie (Cinderella Story) and Oreo cookies!

What a fun day! Our Maria arrived from Spain today to spend a month with us, we are so excited. When the bus arrived we greeted Maria with open arms, she is very sweet & beautiful! we can't wait for our friends and family to meet her, we have enjoyed so much getting to know her today. She speaks great English and fits with our family perfectly! We feel very blessed to have her part of our family for the next month.
Happy Fathers Day, Dad! Love You!

Katelyn and her best friend performing their hip hop version of "can't stop the music" and "ice cream pain job" the both did a fantastic job!

I can't believe it! Bradley is in Middle school already where did the year go? Thank you God for the boy he is and the young man he is growing up to be.
Wow...a lot has happened since my last blog in August! We are back home! We just moved into a cute little house on the river in Sultan(no, it does not flood..lol) The kids are very excited to be back in school with their friends. Now we are starting summer, we just had a great visit from my aunt and cousins from Minnesota, we had so much fun! Now we are looking forward to getting our 15 year old exchange student from Spain. We are very excited to welcome her into our home for a month, we sure hope she likes us, I am sure we are going to love her.
Thank you God for our beautiful new home :)
