We are copying an idea by the Belchers...
In the interest of time-saving, we have consolidated the Speed Family blogs into one place.
(Though Rik will also still be posting individually in his normal locales.)

SPEED SQUAD SIX
Thanks!
She's my only girl in a sea of boys...
what did you expect?
Trust me, the wand works!
Rik had the idea of having cupcakes instead of a cake this year, so I made ones titled 'Pretty in Pink'! They were a great success!
She rocks!
She is pretty serious when she's eating chocolate...
She wouldn't let me help her with the bubbles...
I often think that, in her mind, if her oafish brothers can do something, than of course so can she...
My little lost girl...Peter Pan can never have you back...
Hanging out with Daddy on some random afternoon...
Nothing is sweeter than this...
Bunny!
"Daddy, catch me!"
Spike made a cowboy hat in school, and Hella 'found' it...
So, has Christina's dream finally come true?
Take a look...
Yep, Hella's hair is finally long enough for Mommy to play with it.
:-)
And trust me, Hella is just as excited as her Mommy!
Her, by now, famous 'cheese' face.
Mrs. Potato Head and these glasses...need I say more?
No one in their right mind could pass this picture and resist a photo op... no one!
A pretty girl with her Daddy under a pretty tree... aw...
*sigh*
In the van again...
Helping Mommy decide, how many donuts is too much...
Rik held Hella in line for the balloon animals with Boris. She was fine as long as Rik stayed standing, but whenever he knelt down to get closer to the clown she got scared. And when she had to hold out her wrist so he could put the ladybug on she was nervous but brave. I love our little Tank Girl!
On the ride home, since the boys were with Aunt Robyne, it was the perfect opportunity to 'feed' her baby. She was even proper and used a blanket to 'cover up'!
How do you get a little girl to pose by a beautiful tree in the local Arboritum?
Why, ask her to pick a pretty flower for her Aunt Robyne, of course!
The safest place on a train, be it kiddie sized or larger, is always by your Daddy!
Girls can keep up with their big brothers, no problem!
And this one's got the marks to prove it!
"Who's Mommy's big, tough girl?"
"ME!"
"That's right, baby!"
The Chinese New Year was celebrated here in Houstons China Town with a little help from the Speeds!
The kids are having a bit of fun climbing in a tree outside the Chinese Community Center.
Thanks for the dress Carolyn, I fit right in!
One of many traditional Chinese dances done by some very talented young ladies!
You're supposed to get tattoos every where you go, right?
Not a whole lot of explanation necessary...
All fears of jealousy have, so far, turned out to be needless...
She is absolutely in LOVE with her baby brother!
