Ken has worked at FPU in many capacities for over 20 years. I didn't know Ken well, but since I work in the University Communication's office, I have the great pleasure of working with many great people across the campus.<br /><br />In 2008 our department came up with a funky idea to use sock puppets to explain difficult concepts at the University. One of my favorites starred none other than Ken Isaak. It was his video debut. He played himself (FPU's financial aid director) discussing financial aid with a sock. He was fantastic to work with! He listened to our suggestions, and laughed a lot. I've embedded the video below, enjoy!<br /><br /><object width="400" height="225"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=3000281&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=56bcdb&fullscreen=1"><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=3000281&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=56bcdb&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="225"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/3000281">The Sockingtons - The Deadline</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/fpu">Fresno Pacific University</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a>.</p>On the personal side of Ken's death. This is the fifth death to touch my family in 10 weeks. My kids have seen my grieve a lot this year. They've had lots of questions. I've done my best to explain. I've turned to friends for support and help. My friend Tracy wrote a really good <a href="http://neufeld-news.blogspot.com/2010/04/talking-to-boys.html">post</a> that explained talking to her boys about the subject. I'm going to use some of her words of wisdom too.

spelling bees, gotcha days and memorialsWell, I won't pretend that I haven't been a horrible blogger. So let's just get to the recap, shall we?<br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Birthdays:</span><br />Kev celebrated his birthday on Monday of this week. We had family stuff going on that day, so hopefully we can celebrate soon. Below is a tribute to Kevin written by one of his little sisters, Joyce. It's pretty funny. (I'm seeing some foretelling for Joshua I think!) I love you Kevin. It has been amazing to be your wife and partner for over 20 years.<br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Gotcha Day:</span><br />We celebrated Tori's Gotcha Day in January. Hard to believe we celebrated the fourth anniversary of her adoption! Wow, time flies. She is growing to be a funny, sweet and loving little girl. Her favs these days include school, soccer, princesses and our dog Lola.<br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Spelling Bee:</span><br />Yesterday Lizzie won the fourth grade spelling bee. Yay! I felt so bad that I haven't had the chance to work with her on her words the past couple of weeks, but evidently, she didn't need it. She rocked it yesterday! On to the county bee.<br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Memorials:</span><br />This one is harder to write. It is still so surreal. On Saturday, February 6th, my brother-in-law Paul (my sis Lori's husband) had a massive heart attack and died. He had been battling high blood pressure for about a year, but this was totally unexpected.<br /><br />The last two weeks have been a blur. His memorial was a week ago today. Paul has been a part of our family for over 27 years. He was an incredible husband, daddy and uncle. From the moment my kids were born (or brought home) he started chanting "Uncle Paul, Uncle Paul" in an early effort to get them to say his name. His methods were very successful!<br /><br />Paul, we miss you more than I can describe.<br /><br /><br /><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-STYLE: italic">Joyce's tribute to Kev:</span><br />Kris and I call him our "little big brother" because we have another brother (Brad) who is the biggest of our big brothers. Anyway, Kevin is two years older than me and was a constant play-mate for me while we were growing up. Sometimes that was a good thing and sometimes not so good. :)<br /><br />Kevin was and still is a <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">character</span>. Anything and everything turned into a fun time if he was around. The problem was, you just NEVER knew how things would turn out...sometimes good and sometimes not so good.<br /><br />Like, climbing a tree might turn into him <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">falling out</span> from the very top or it might just end up with a tree full of kids and nobody gets hurt. A baseball game might turn into a <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">broken nose</span> (usually for him), or it might just turn out to be a fun way to pass the time.<br /><br />An innocent game of "darts" might turn into a dart in Kris' <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">arm</span>, or it might just be another dart game on a hot afternoon in the Phillippines. Or, Mom cutting out a pattern to sew might turn into being <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">stabbed</span> in the arm with the scissors (Kevin again), or it might just turn out to be the beginning of a new dress. (Not for Kevin.)<br /><br />Then there were the neighborhood water fights when all the parents were at work. They started out simply enough...one bucket of water at a time tossed across the street at each other, but soon enough, they'd turn into an all-out, three-lawn-hoses-hooked-together <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-size:130%;" >shooting match</span> that sometimes ended up <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">INSIDE the house</span>!!!! See what I mean?????<br /><br />I'm not necessarily saying he was accident prone, but if there was trouble to be had, you can bet <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">he was in the middle of it!</span> SO MUCH FUN! (lol).<br /><br />In school, Kevin was a <span style="font-size:large;"><b>rock star</b></span>. Every girl I ever knew would tell me how good-looking my brother was. Then there was the occasional teacher that would say to me, "oh...you're <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Kevin's</span> sister." (What was THAT all about??) ;-) His nickname for me has always been "Poy" (I think that's the name of a tropical <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">fruit</span>...rather appropriate, don't you think?) :)<br /><br />Now days, Kevin is the best husband (to Lisa) and father (to Lizzy, Tori, and Josh) that you could imagine. I'm sure my Mom and Dad are just WAITING for the day that <span style="FONT-STYLE: italic">"you just wait, young man...someday you're going to have kids JUST LIKE YOU!"</span> actually starts to pay off.<br /><br />If you ask me....that wouldn't be such a bad thing after all.<input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><input id="jsProxy" onclick="jsCall();" type="hidden">Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12963177913643378178noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614565439562893920.post-16081417418443331622010-01-13T11:18:00.001-08:002010-01-13T11:18:59.290-08:00Practical Ways to Help Haiti<p>1) <b>Text "HAITI" to "90999" to donate $10 to the Red Cross</b> -- Our friends at the US State Department, including Katie Stanton (@<a href="http://twitter.com/kateatstate" mce_href="http://twitter.com/kateatstate">kateatstate</a>), very quickly put together this number to channel relief contributions directly to first responders who will be on the ground there.

We had about 116 people over for a fabulous dinner, dancing and fun.<br /><br />The slide show really says it all, photographers for the evening were Paul Regier and Tracy Williams...thanks guys.<br /><br />There is one photo of mom singing Mr. Wonderful (a song sung originally by Peggy Lee) to dad. She first sang that to him when she was 16 and he was being installed as the president of something or another. Sixteen, can you believe it? And she sang it to him again, more than 50 years later!<br /><br />It was truly an amazing night. Thanks mom and dad for being such an inspiration to us.

Great fun, food and flips!<br /><br />I think that summertime is a gift from God, allowing us much needed time to reconnect as a family and with friends. So often we kicked completed swamped during the school year that we put off staying connected with others.<br /><br />This summer we are making a concerted effort to connect with YOU!<br /><br />Party at the Alveys...(or maybe just with!) be there!<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">(photos by Karl Roth)</span>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12963177913643378178noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614565439562893920.post-55333598975527032972009-05-18T15:22:00.001-07:002009-05-18T15:30:45.494-07:00We lost Joshua<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWMclCrCyluUBkxR0zfVXWF0ojmkeRKWpokL9fzaFN384DU5nmM4hLD-4FmlK9SMHrOSPQzTA4fLKw5dYZ3c7BlWFuS31VzFaCsL_aTw_Dr-YFT9QJ268SxyjGz0CTxQBpgbBw0OsRPYwh/s1600-h/joshie2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWMclCrCyluUBkxR0zfVXWF0ojmkeRKWpokL9fzaFN384DU5nmM4hLD-4FmlK9SMHrOSPQzTA4fLKw5dYZ3c7BlWFuS31VzFaCsL_aTw_Dr-YFT9QJ268SxyjGz0CTxQBpgbBw0OsRPYwh/s320/joshie2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337294995520800226" border="0" /></a><span xmlns=""><p>Last week I was getting ready for work, in fact, my car was already running, when Kevin informed me that he couldn't find Joshua.<br /></p><p>"What?" I said. "What do you mean?"<br /></p><p>"I can't find him," he said.<br /></p><p>So the four of us (we enlisted Lizzie and Tori to help) started searching the house. All of the doors leading outside were locked and he can't unlock those yet. So we knew he had to be in the house. We searched cupboards, drawers, the pantry, the laundry room, bathrooms, and closets to no avail. We could not find him.<br /></p><p>Finally, after about 5 frantic minutes of searching, Kevin found him. The back of our bedroom we have two closets, one for Kev and one for myself. Kevin's closet door has a lock on it. Yes, you guessed it. He locked himself in Kevin's closet. It took some persuading, but we managed to talk him into unlocking the door. Yes, the doorknob has now been fixed so he can no longer do that.<br /></p><p>The next night, Kev was at school late and I had to pick the kids up from babysitters, get them home, get Tori into her uniform and to her game within about 15 minutes. Time was tight and I wasn't messing around. As I was bent down tying Tori's cleats I felt Josh messing around behind me. He was chatting away and grabbing at the top of my waistband of my pants (in back). I just ignored him and continued to focus on Tori. When I finished with her, I went to quickly change myself. As I pulled off my pants I found what Josh was chatting about. He had put a live stink bug (good 'ol country living) down my pants. Yup, true story.<br /></p><p>Moral of the story…Josh will not be ignored! </p></span>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12963177913643378178noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614565439562893920.post-14815713704271678612009-05-11T14:41:00.000-07:002009-05-11T14:54:19.707-07:00Tea Party, Parade and more!This past weekend was a whirlwind! We kicked it off Friday night with a Giant's win over the Dodgers (always a great way to start the weekend!). Saturday found us walking in the Flatlander's Parade in the Ranchos. We were invited to be part of four floats, (part of being involved in a small community!) but only managed to squeeze in two.<br /><br />We celebrated Mother's Day a little early. On Saturday, we attended a mother-daughter tea hosted by my mom's church. It was held outside and it was gorgeous. Two of my nieces, Kristina and Alyssa were able to join us. Leslie and her family drove up on Friday night, so she was able to attend as well. My other sis, Lori was unable to attend as she and her hubby, Paul were in Vegas celebrating their 25th anniversary!<br /><br />Sunday we had a fantastic BBQ/champagne brunch in which the men of the family planned, cooked and cleaned. It was a very relaxing day!

Instead of hosting 30 - 40 people at our house, we ran away!<br /><br /><br />My sister Leslie invited us to join her family down south in San Juan Capistrano for the weekend. It was delightful! My parents were in New York with my bro, Lane, so we thought, "why not?" and hit the road. My other sister, Lori and her husband, Paul also cruised down south.<br /><br /><br />We left Thursday prior to Easter and returned on Monday. What a great weekend! Great Good Friday service, good company and fabulous food.<br /><br />Thanks sis, for a fantastic weekend!Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12963177913643378178noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614565439562893920.post-44265596725009957112009-04-08T11:09:00.001-07:002009-04-08T11:11:06.169-07:00Forgot to show the cake!<div style="text-align: center;">Argh!

All in all, a great birthday!<br /><br />Elizabeth Grace Alvey was born, Tuesday, April 4, 2000 at 11:43 p.m. After nine long years of infertility, God blessed us with an incredible gift.

Tori's T-ball team is great fun, and Joshua continues to work on hitting those fastballs.

This is the second year in a row that we've had an Easter party at the Avakian's, so I think we've established a tradition!<br /><br />We 'hid' (I use that word in jest, as you can see from the photos) approximately 400 egg for about 15 kids...ages 2 (Josh) to early teens. It was great fun! The kids loved it.<br /><br />We then continued our celebration with our usual feast of too much food. On the menu: a pasta bar! Yum!<br /><br />Thanks Avakians for another fabulous party!</div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdwWV7gEKdSF8hiyOgji7z0T-Xtzo46tU7XxY2jPRBtLOCekVq50zxm76EvtfHNQKLZZWKM6DSdMb7bgyGc1VnHaXwUSdnMNzO0saJpt7FaeWkBeO3Kk-p3bfofTCZr-EMp_MtWCVW4RSF/s1600-h/CIMG5767.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

We had so much fun! We bundled them up and let 'em go. It was so pretty, it snowed the entire time we were out. We made a snow man, went sledding and made snow angels.<br /><br />Playing in the snow really made Lizzie think of (and miss) Utah, her grandpa and grandma and all her cousins. She thinks that she'd like to live somewhere where it snows. I tell her that she's a California girl and that after shoveling the driveway she'd think again about living with snow, but she disagreed with me! :-)<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTym0nZ6VHTINJChCb4M5AB-hdyjTEjmWTUscqU6dOPv1w5W5g-gnZzGyuek7vWz4XHkuAFsuBuI4wd4jdmBsCFEAecg1nxNtFBTXVypt1qr8ckIA7oi85l-28FlQU1Io2lfOjhKOjfiTx/s1600-h/CIMG5732.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTym0nZ6VHTINJChCb4M5AB-hdyjTEjmWTUscqU6dOPv1w5W5g-gnZzGyuek7vWz4XHkuAFsuBuI4wd4jdmBsCFEAecg1nxNtFBTXVypt1qr8ckIA7oi85l-28FlQU1Io2lfOjhKOjfiTx/s400/CIMG5732.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315283549418271634" border="0" /></a>Our little snow angel.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin2T_IzHVgmOgGH1loAB_xE8ClMgn9mz0o-qm0OtJZdfkg-OheEaMxvIEYysyKq0SdhFMwMvJLtDeer1bAQ6BZwtAcm0YpyyTyBM2PUyQdmqaGjqzfH0BjXs6JjVcAAyCqOoMt62XMdQoq/s1600-h/CIMG5727.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin2T_IzHVgmOgGH1loAB_xE8ClMgn9mz0o-qm0OtJZdfkg-OheEaMxvIEYysyKq0SdhFMwMvJLtDeer1bAQ6BZwtAcm0YpyyTyBM2PUyQdmqaGjqzfH0BjXs6JjVcAAyCqOoMt62XMdQoq/s400/CIMG5727.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315283451058627858" border="0" /></a>Kinda wimpy, I know, but the kids were still proud!<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvbfD3LwkiU4zZd-ErFpsZ9lk-x5G86Q-sTxEhT9LKAOlAgWGnf4Z6TXySphVrm54Jtp7bLnxr9sKbgE2xzMiiES8pLhhGIXasnc73ZWp-bV4qRrDYd1Cz9zhSmVgcoyWJ-VWkOawMK-6M/s1600-h/CIMG5724.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvbfD3LwkiU4zZd-ErFpsZ9lk-x5G86Q-sTxEhT9LKAOlAgWGnf4Z6TXySphVrm54Jtp7bLnxr9sKbgE2xzMiiES8pLhhGIXasnc73ZWp-bV4qRrDYd1Cz9zhSmVgcoyWJ-VWkOawMK-6M/s400/CIMG5724.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315283357236307730" border="0" /></a>Josh loved the snow and enjoyed trying to catch snowflakes on his tongue.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZrQmhkKmpXx5UiikMd5M7wvutC2EuopLr9I-iRPaqjs0q7HOsL7BOozxnqMIR3RmGqMZB8yN-oTmGRUXIkpwgviENVdjAOn_a8Ht8XdQPrlZXPk2TanMvuuiXmeO3GrIGfS_lkMofMw37/s1600-h/CIMG5721.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZrQmhkKmpXx5UiikMd5M7wvutC2EuopLr9I-iRPaqjs0q7HOsL7BOozxnqMIR3RmGqMZB8yN-oTmGRUXIkpwgviENVdjAOn_a8Ht8XdQPrlZXPk2TanMvuuiXmeO3GrIGfS_lkMofMw37/s400/CIMG5721.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315283264858925906" border="0" /></a>Lizzie and Tori about to head down the hill on the sled.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr4ZlQu_U63O_BTfgQD9k27p-L4tUo1y7w4D2iPws213lfKADg3z9T-urCEYA5opGOl-XA7afdzdUe6mvXOssBYZqL6C33LnlQtvBue0L4qxt9o9ByVt9-8wAEnQcHlkOnH14qTnFu-GSP/s1600-h/CIMG5716.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr4ZlQu_U63O_BTfgQD9k27p-L4tUo1y7w4D2iPws213lfKADg3z9T-urCEYA5opGOl-XA7afdzdUe6mvXOssBYZqL6C33LnlQtvBue0L4qxt9o9ByVt9-8wAEnQcHlkOnH14qTnFu-GSP/s400/CIMG5716.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315283172763930930" border="0" /></a>It was so beautiful.

I spoke at Flipside's women's retreat in Cambria. We had over 60 women in attendance and it was amazing! Wow!<br /></p><p>The theme that God laid on my heart back in October was Celebrating Every Day. I thought, "Cool, that will be easy to talk about." As I dug into the topic, God revealed some pretty heavy stuff. I broke it into three sessions with a little devotional on Sunday. We covered Why God Wants Us to Celebrate, What Keeps Us from Celebrating, and How to Celebrate Every Day. The devotional I talked about on Sunday was based on 1 Corinthians 12 talking about different parts of the body. It tied in pretty nicely.<br /></p><p>I had such an amazing time talking to these women. Not once was I nervous! I know that there was a band of prayer warriors protecting us through the entire weekend. I had so much fun!<br /></p><p>We stayed at a campground in Cambria, it was so beautiful. We watched deer, seals and whales from the deck of the lodge, very cool!<br /></p><p>God really gets all the credit for an amazing weekend.

My job requires me to be online ALL day, so when I get home the last thing I want to do is log onto a computer. So, I thought maybe I can post during my lunch. We'll see how I do.<br /><br />Okay, this past month, we've celebrated Kevin's birthday by getting away for the weekend. (first time since May of '06!) Thanks to everyone for the great cards! We celebrated the Oscars. (not big fans of the Oscars, in fact we think award shows are stupid, but any excuse to dress-up!) We will definitely be hosting this party again next year. (even my parents joined in dressing up!) See pics below for the red carpet walk.<br /><br />We registered Lizzie for softball and Tori for T-ball (she's playing in a co-ed league, with an all girl team (?) and they are the Angels...how cute is that???)<br /><br />Joshua is continuing to amaze us with his climbing abilities, let's see recently it was climbing to the top of our wrought iron entertainment center. He is quite a monkey.<br /><br />I'll try to be better at keeping up with posts.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtAMDvSgcgTEzLZZJMmPFgc2pgkeaEjjhFOY33iLa1fWm2vYB22V0lOYfm_siNv_mEp_8LJF1MjWd2kH36-taLnaKa22b9Ep53Mo4HSvqr5z7s52SmkVCocutrwNcoXPvsxqOb7wCzRsAo/s1600-h/momdad.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtAMDvSgcgTEzLZZJMmPFgc2pgkeaEjjhFOY33iLa1fWm2vYB22V0lOYfm_siNv_mEp_8LJF1MjWd2kH36-taLnaKa22b9Ep53Mo4HSvqr5z7s52SmkVCocutrwNcoXPvsxqOb7wCzRsAo/s400/momdad.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306816170642203762" border="0" /></a><br />Larry and Linda ham it up for the red carpet!<br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5M7buAhKMS7InSBNTg_lb94etZmQCG7toGjifp4cN0rIaJEMIUuy939Guz12FP34lYK6uVGuFSpiidmrO3sPjI17TrG7LL5Y9TwkiGI8FZDMwF-JSmMlHYF4aoO-WLs4APzzcTW46Pv5I/s1600-h/lizzie.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5M7buAhKMS7InSBNTg_lb94etZmQCG7toGjifp4cN0rIaJEMIUuy939Guz12FP34lYK6uVGuFSpiidmrO3sPjI17TrG7LL5Y9TwkiGI8FZDMwF-JSmMlHYF4aoO-WLs4APzzcTW46Pv5I/s400/lizzie.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306816168847674306" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfksqMDZ9-Jso0Cs2m8nyohrA6DVe6i99cdzWzF6Fr6MNV732Hq5vPSeWdtZ0DeEvkPvOym1MeRGYb5TfKokpK85-lCXRzHVqox9VoQ9bNny1sQHUeCAKwMTjzYwz5QQvijr2PAb0XtTS4/s1600-h/girls.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfksqMDZ9-Jso0Cs2m8nyohrA6DVe6i99cdzWzF6Fr6MNV732Hq5vPSeWdtZ0DeEvkPvOym1MeRGYb5TfKokpK85-lCXRzHVqox9VoQ9bNny1sQHUeCAKwMTjzYwz5QQvijr2PAb0XtTS4/s400/girls.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306816164190115922" border="0" /></a><br />Two of the starlets<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwzKt3BkrMd8207bIIf_SFJZqkA0iuTNp6XBkltmHojP-fx99h0ZO7gVnItrf61LD5k6_yn-HYs0-rotO1TamEXfBoGiRUOeYoHh7IPPLV2_nrbdqKFvlPN08anQ5C3g-NvwxThv9hfLZt/s1600-h/family.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwzKt3BkrMd8207bIIf_SFJZqkA0iuTNp6XBkltmHojP-fx99h0ZO7gVnItrf61LD5k6_yn-HYs0-rotO1TamEXfBoGiRUOeYoHh7IPPLV2_nrbdqKFvlPN08anQ5C3g-NvwxThv9hfLZt/s400/family.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306816167244484306" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxBC_I2jDp2mHshpSuocP3i6iCPC67qYhTVa_5wzxjRQdqE1CR9uX-y18nqLkw3uNTTOmpBJHx0xEl_s6t2fYpngyISoWtBdSfmAA7fqKfSLyEl7aqZ6yUW1ApNHvoR1DK4vMMKJM5ZzKG/s1600-h/agent.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxBC_I2jDp2mHshpSuocP3i6iCPC67qYhTVa_5wzxjRQdqE1CR9uX-y18nqLkw3uNTTOmpBJHx0xEl_s6t2fYpngyISoWtBdSfmAA7fqKfSLyEl7aqZ6yUW1ApNHvoR1DK4vMMKJM5ZzKG/s400/agent.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306815981052901826" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Joshua 'the agent'<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO2DijydIVM0byhC0Q7aCPnFvSO-AYLM-m9nlLOm_uTf3taplAT-hwPqHaHn6qKh9SQhYE6PYybWPwr9eklbStOLIL6sFKVy0ag5ETH_ccVHTsfXV4xRBHV_Za378Afi44QsLgDORW9g3_/s1600-h/tori.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO2DijydIVM0byhC0Q7aCPnFvSO-AYLM-m9nlLOm_uTf3taplAT-hwPqHaHn6qKh9SQhYE6PYybWPwr9eklbStOLIL6sFKVy0ag5ETH_ccVHTsfXV4xRBHV_Za378Afi44QsLgDORW9g3_/s400/tori.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306817711748149858" border="0" /></a><br /></div>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12963177913643378178noreply@blogger.com3
