KWAKers

The four oldest children, along with their cousins Hannah, Sabrina, and Elizabeth (Bridgette just hopped in for the picture.) participated in a Kids with a King production on May 9th and 10th.
KWAK is a Christian musical production that Delta Christian Church sponsors twice a year. This semester's production was called Camp Koinonia and was a wonderful story about kids going to summer camp and getting stuck inside because of bad weather. They whine and complain but then learn great lessons of people from the Bible who made the best of their difficult situations. Karina had the main part of Crystal, and all the other children (except Elizabeth and Becca who didn't want parts) had short solos in some of the songs. The children loved participating and we loved watching them! This was Karina's last one, so they awarded her with a nice bouquet of flowers. She is so sad to be too old to be in any more! The children put in about 24-hours of practice time for these performances. It has been such a good experience for them!

Gymnastics

These pictures aren't great because they are taken in a gym with bad lighting, but the top one on the right is Rebecca, and the bottom on on the right is Mariah. They did a quick gymnastics performance between basketball games at the high school in March.

March Birthdays

Mariah turned 8 on March 16th.

Bridgette turned 3 on March 29th.

Mariah's Baptism

On April 11, 2009, Mariah was baptized by her father in Cedaredge. It was a special day, even if the mirror was fogged up so no one could see! We are thankful she made the choice to follow her Savior and know it will be a blessing in her life.

Here is a picture of Mariah in her beautiful baptism dress that Sister Rodriguez made for her.
