Gymanst Jane!

Janie!!!!! (or Janer Lynn Flynn as I call her..)

Janie is just a light in our lives! Her eyes have a light in them that is unmatched! Janie loves life and just enjoys being her! She loves to swim (just try to get her out of the lake!!), crafts - of any kind and her gymnatics! She is 5 and in Kindergarten at Calvin. She loves her friends and is likely smarter than any 5 year old you know! She loves being big sister to Zach sho i thin she would take with her to school if they would let her. She is great with him and loved by all who know her! We all adore our little Janie!

HOCKEY MAN!

COLIN SAMUEL - or as I call him SAM! :) Colin is about the best by you could ask for in your life! He is sweet and yet he will just walk up to you and sock ya in the arm rather than give you a hug! We love it! He is a great big brother - the leader of the pack to jane and zach... teaching them hillarious things is top on his list! He is 8 and in 2nd grade at Calvin. Colin is our hockey boy! He loves it and is quite good! In the winter, he can often be found on his rink on the lake until long after the sun has gone to bed.....The same lake he fishes, jet skis and lives in all summer! Colin is a great kid who can beat Mark at many video games, but also lets him win some too! We are definately better off having Colin in as part of our world!!!!!

A J !

Lexi's Life - Our buddy Lexi is 10 and is as active as ever! She is playing traveling basketball this winter and has already had 2 tourneys - with 2 tropheys to show for it! She loves basketball and softball too! (see the softball pic). Lexi is so sweet and so strong all at the same time. We always laugh - (or get hurt together - falling down or something stupid like that). Like her other cousins, she's a good shopping partner and also loves to tube on the lake!! Lexi has had alot on her plate this past year and has just been amazing - taking it all n stride...

Miss Maia

Maia's Play! Maia was in a play at a local theather in Feb of this year. Here she is "on the set"... I alsohad to add a more updated pic of her - with Mark and I taken last weekend...... She is in 8th grade this year! (those of you who were in college with us when she was born - you can feel old along with us) :) She is doing great in school - loves her friends, volleyball, acting and of course - Aunt Joy and Uncle Mark! They all do - cuz we're FUN!!!!! :) We are very proud of the young lady she is growing up to be!!!!
She just called and asked if Mark & /or I could play in a parent / team volleyball game tomorrow night! Stay tuned for pix from that event!!!! :)

Lo Lo......

Lauren's basketball - winter 2007. She is ready to play again this winter - GO CALVIN!!!

She held this girl - much taller - to less than nothing that night :)

Lauren is 12 & a 6th grader at Calvin Christan School. She is a great girl - a social butterfly just like her aunt joy (and her mother Lisa too!) She loves crafts and artsy things, shopping (esp with aunt joy) :) , and is about hte best big sister to the 3 luckiest kids on earth! Lauren is really one who lights up your life!

Cali Grace draws fans to the big game!

We all had fun seeing CALI play Saturday - and by then end we were rooting for the other team to score! It was 44-0! (poor little kids - 8 year old girls!) Cali played great! :)

THat fire in Cali's eye is there often - on and off the court! She is a great basketball player (and there is a dancer / gymanst in there too! She just basically loves to be moving and entertaining you in some way. A sweet heart of gold and about as funny as it gets! We love every second we get with OUR Cali Grace!

the kids happenings....

We try to get to each of the kids' games as much as we can - we are not perfect, but we do pretty well...... Right now Cali is playing backsetball (GO, PINK FEVER!), Lexi is playing basketball, Lauren will start bball soon after just finishing up volleyball, Maia just finished volleyball (and stil is rarely seen without one in her hands!), COlin is ever playing hockey and Jane is in gymnastics. Sach(20 months) is just everywhere.......so the kids wanted to see pix of their stuff on the site -so here are each of them - in some way! Enjoy our beauties! :) Group shot taken March 2007 :)
