During the year, our 4-H wool club spent some time learning to dye wool. We used Kool-Aid and had a blast. Rachel and her friend MacKenzie wondered if the process would work while the wool was still on the animal.......So, at the fair they staged the experiment....imagining they wouldn't get in to trouble with anyone since the dye was simply Kool-Aid.....The ewe had to be well washed (pretty time consuming) and was then squirted with every color of Kool-Aid we could find. </div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's the result....</div>

On Saturday, we participated in an event called the "Deiter 100"! This event came into being because some of our friends - the Deiters - added up the ages of everyone in their family and discovered that at the end of this year, their ages will add to,....you guessed it, 100! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So they hosted an event similar to the "Amazing Race" and families were teams running all around our county and even into Portland on a race for clues...doing such things as visiting the local coffee shop, counting posts in the Fort Vancouver wall, getting pictures taken w/ various IKEA items and picking gallon buckets full of blueberries for the hostess! (I think that means she has 66 pounds of blueberries to her name now! - clever girl, that one!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most families had clever t-shirts to mark the occasion, one family w/ 7 little children came as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(SO CUTE!) </div>

Rachel, Grace, and Zachary all participated in the 4H kitchen activites on Friday. There are several categories in which you can compete. Rachel (no pictures :(...) and Grace both participated in the bread baking activity. They must bring all supplies and ingredients to the 4H kitchen and, well..., make bread. You are judged on preparation techniques, cleanliness practices, nutritional values and costs associated with the food/meal.</div>

He was required to set the table andserve the judge. I'm sure he was a charming host!</div>

Joshua has decided he would like to learn to play the bagpipes. So, as we've pursued this, people we'd never had suspected came out of the woodwork as bagpipe players! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi76nswR4CpX9CdOOqACmAKKrbhl14jaJ5RWlEHaKfRs9_VCQYQr6qv5TD106ZjC5mwqhjXfmgUmFroye9RHJtc5JwhNaIFvmQ_eYQQUOt_hWRBBSNP7P6zrgTT88dT0hsq6gQAR_aa6TY/s1600/bagpipes.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi76nswR4CpX9CdOOqACmAKKrbhl14jaJ5RWlEHaKfRs9_VCQYQr6qv5TD106ZjC5mwqhjXfmgUmFroye9RHJtc5JwhNaIFvmQ_eYQQUOt_hWRBBSNP7P6zrgTT88dT0hsq6gQAR_aa6TY/s400/bagpipes.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This wonderful man, Mr. Sheaffer, has been a kind and generous supporter of our children's 4H lamb projects at the fair. We met him in the sheep barn 5 years ago. We've marketed to him ever since then. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When Joshua mentioned in one of their letters that he was taking up the bagpipes, Mr. Sheaffer responded right away, telling him to bring his chanter in the next time the kids came. When we got to his office, he said, "Hey, I have my bagpipes here, would you like to try them?"....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is Joshua giving it a go....takes a LOT of air! We had a great time! Can you imagine hearing bagpipe noise coming from the top of a bank building in the middle of a work day? Don't know what the rest of the bank thought.....</div>

We are so blessed by this sweet addition to our family! Never would I have imagined I would have twins....My dearest friend had twins (in fact those twins are my oldest daughter, Sarah's, best friends) Several other acquantances have twins...but, as we were pregnant for our 9th time, I had rather not given it a thought.....oh that fun day of the ultrasound.......the technician chatting happily, finding out about us and teasing that, "oh, maybe you'll get twins this time!", and then, as she begins the scan, going quite silent....we thought something was amiss...perhaps in a bad way.....and then she looks at us and says, "there are two of them..." Gregg grabbed a chair, and I (if you know me, you will NOT be surprised by this) giggled....and giggled...which is NOT conducive to taking measurements if you are a technician...but, there I was...uncontrollable giggling...I could stop for moments, but, then would just begin again. Poor technician...not only did her job just get doubled in length, but this momma wouldn't stop giggling.<br />
<br />
Okay...enough of that...<br />

Here are our toothless 8 year olds today!</div>

Still making me giggle!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They are kind, precious little girls that are a blessing to everyone in our family! I love to see how each of them interact with each of the other children. AND how they interact with each other. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Megan Joy is a thoughtful child. She likes to know how and why things works. She thinks....and watches and figures things out. She likes to sing...sometimes rather loudly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Madeline Hope laughs. She is quite care-free and easy going. She is quick to forgive.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They are the best of friends.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today, we grew out of carseats. In our state, law requires children to be in car seats until they are 8 years old. We have had carseats in our cars for 22 years. Eight years ago, upon their arrival, we had to have 6 carseats in our car.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today, we have zero. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So exciting for them! A bit melancholy for me. More room in the car for everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Very Happy Birthday, Megan Joy!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">May the Lord bless you and keep you.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">May the Lord make his face to shine upon you,</span></div>
