Payton spent most of her life avoiding sports of all kind so we are beyond excited that she's interested in sporty things now. Today was another volleyball game and her team did the best we've ever seen and won both games. Here's a quick video of Payton serving.


Afterward, Payton decided to try the rock-climbing wall.


Scaling the "Easy" section...



Then trying the "Medium" section...

Another Blake Lewis (aka, B-Shorty) video

Andy's oldest brother, David, and David's wife, Liz, had a baby girl last night. Her name is Althea (hopefully the spelling is right) and she is the 9th grandchild born on Andy's side. #10 is due in May and in April, my brother is expecting a baby so we should have one a month for the next couple of months.

Baby Althea...

I've been online for over 12 years and very much a part of Net culture and knowing what's going on online. We watched a show on VH1 on Friday called "40 Greatest Internet Superstars." I guessed that I would know about half of them and it ended up being exactly half. See how many you recognize.

Ali was sick for several days with a stomach bug so we spent a lot of time cleaning up after her, preparing a special diet and throwing her into the bath/shower. Her hair got matted so I had to shave her down because brushing her hair out would be too painful. Gave her another shower, brushed her teeth, gave her some meds and she's good as new. She doesn't look pretty but she feels much better. :)

This movie comes out in May but this trailer just came out. Not sure if you're excited about it but these are huge at our house and in many houses w/older kids. What's not to love about Johnny Depp?
