Colorful rings of happiness.

Press play before reading. :-)

The Olympics make me happy. Not that I enjoy watching every single sport the Olympics have to offer, because I don't. But regardless of the sport, it's on in our house right now all....the....time. If it's not on NBC, we turn on MSNBC or CNBC, or whatever. And I've noticed that the cheering crowds, the smiling medal winners, the overly dramatic and giddy announcers, the heart-warming athlete stories, the pretty colors, and the delightful Olympic Fanfare and Theme.... it just keeps me happy all the time.

Conversations from the back seat.

Zoe: You know the road? The road belongs to everyone in the world, and English....except for Spanish.

Xavier: It doesn't belong to the whole world, Zoe.

Zoe: Yes it does.

Xavier: Everything in the whole world is God's. We're just borrowing it.

Zoe: Oh. Yeah. Well some people have yellow heads.

What I'm Tired Of.

Rude people.
Negative people.
Impatient people.
Never-happy people.
Unappreciative people.
People who refuse to listen.
People who don't do what's right.
Evil people.

It's times like this where I just pray to God and ask that he'll allow me to like people again.

Angry 8 year old.

This is what happens when your friends are over, and your attention seeking 8 year old acts out until she is finally sent to her room for being obnoxious.  She draws pictures of us in revenge!! (unfortunately you can't see the whole picture in this blog....so visit my myspace blog if you want to see the full version)

As you can see, all Mandy cares about is all her big shoes and all the jewelry all over her big giant fingers. And her big lips. We 're not sure why she has one eye. That's a mystery.

Jaimee has back hair, has many eyes, and is drinking gas. Because she likes to fart a lot.

Out of all the weird ones, Christa's portrait seems to be the most normal. In her photo, she's old and frail and pregnant. She looks pretty harmless. I'd love to know they psychology behind some of these, lol.

Next is baby Jack. He's tall, skinny, and handsome in his suit and tie. She obviously likes him and did not blame him for all of our awful behaviour toward her.

Next we have Lisa, with her big mechanical eye and giant sharp-toothy jaws!

Then, there's me. I'm a clam with teeth.

And of course, the last drawing is of herself, holding up her crown.

She sure showed us! Perhaps it's one of those had-to-be-there moments, but we laughed uncontrollably for awhlie. 

Cinderella

Today during Father's Day service at church, Zoe got to dance during a really sweet song called Cinderella. Isn't she cute?

Look to the future

Here's my darling girl, singing at her school concert...

Brown Beans

Brown Beans - by Zoe

Oh my brown beans, so sweet!
It's about....clever......sweet
It's the most sweet time
It's a wonderful time
Mouthful of brown beans
You can take a break outside
With brown beans
With the beans, with the beans
With the beans that....(?)
Oh my gosh! It's so sweet
It's a wonderful time!
