Calli is a BIG fan of High School Musical........especially of the 'cutie' Troy. She decided on a High School Musical birthday theme since she also loves to sing and dance. We had a few of her closest friends over for a rockin' good time. We played some games such as freeze dance, find the missing cell phones that Mrs. Darbus hid, musical microphone, and free throw hoops. Each girl was also given their very own VIP/backstage lanyard to wear. Calli received many fun and fabulous gifts, as well as her own microphone cake that was made especially for her. A BIG thank you to Kelly for making such a fantastic rendition of a large microphone. Calli sure felt like a super star!

A Perfect 10

Calli has now completed her 5th season of gymnastics at Jam Hops in Ham Lake. She has always had a passion for tumbling, cart wheels, and balancing. You did an awesome job, Calli! We are so very PROUD of you...

A Family Is Forever

A family is made of love and tears, laughter and years. It grows stronger with the passing of time. More precious with the making of memories.

Sometimes a family is made of ones you don't like for a awhile.. but you love for a life time. It's a gift whose value is found not in numbers but in its capacity to love.

It's the place you find someone to encourage you, believe in you, celebrate with you and comfort you.

A family is where your heart feels most at home because you're always wanted, always welcomed,always needed, always loved.

The Greatest Gift

One of the greatest gifts that life can give to anyone is the very special love that families share...

As years go by,it's good to know that there will always be certain people in our lives who care.

For there are countless things that only families have in common and memories that no one else can make...

And these precious ties that bind a family together are bonds that time and distance cannot break.

How fortunate we are when we have relatives to love us, it makes the world a happy place to be...

Few gifts in life will last as long or touch the heart as deeply as the very special gift of family.

"The Art of a Good Marriage " by Wilfred arlan Peterson

"The little things are the big things. It is never being too old to hold hands. It is remembering to say "I love you" at least once a day. It is never going to sleep angry.

It is never taking the other for granted; the courtship should not end with the honeymoon, it should continue through all the years.

It is having a mutual sense of values and common objectives. It is standing together facing the world. It is forming a circle of love that gathers in the whole family.

It is doing things for each other, not in the attitude of duty or sacrifice, but in the spirit of joy.

It is speaking words of appreciation and demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways. It is not expecting the husband to wear a halo or the wife to have wings of an angel.

It is not looking for perfection in each other. It is cultivating flexibility, patience,understanding and a sense of humor.

It is having the capacity to forgive and forget. It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can grow. It is finding room
for the things of the spirit. It is a common search for the good and the beautiful.

It is establishing a relationship in which the independence is
equal, dependence is mutual and the obligation is reciprocal. It is not only marrying the right partner, it is being the right partner."
