A failed slumber party

Sorry for lack of posts! Here are a few pictures from our slumber party with the Irby family. Josh, Taylor, Israel and Elijah spent the night with us last Saturday and we had great fun. We were excited for Diego and Israel to have their first slumber party so we put the blow up bed in Diego's room and tucked them tightly into their beds. 5 minutes hadn't passed when they were both calling out for us because they were afraid of the dark. Diego has never mentioned the idea of being afraid of the dark, but when Izzy mentioned it, he was convinced that he was afraid too. So we had to drag her bed out of his room and she slept down in the play room with her brother. They're all going to spend the night again this Saturday so maybe we can try again!

Josh and Taylor are amazing musicians. We have a CD of theirs that we listen to in our car, every day, every drive. As soon as we get in the car, Diego and Alexia say "Josh, Josh." Their favorite song is called "Lost and Found." We seriously listen to it at least 7 times a day. So, during our family devotions we always sing a song. Often times Diego asks us to sing Josh's song, but we can never get it right. Well, last Saturday was very special because Josh and Taylor were there to sing it LIVE for the kids. They LOVED it!!!


Ready to turn the lights off (and kick Alexia out of the room). Too bad this didn't last long!

Last week we pushed the two couches together in the upstairs living room and Diego and Alexia had a boat to play in. They would sit in the "boat" and play for what seemed like hours. Diego is pointing down to the sharks and telling me not to touch the water or the sharks would get me.
