37th Birthday

Today I turned 37. I usually don't post much for my birthday or wasn't expecting to be in quarantine, but today was such a great birthday I had to.  I felt so loved by all the cards, phone calls, texts, and gifts.  Then to top it off,  I had friends and their kids constantly stopping by.  At one point we had 16 kids running circles around our house staying 6ft apart, ha. The kids decorated the house and behaved so well for me.  Lastly, dinner was taken care of without my help at all.  Looking forward to 37 if this is a glimpse of how awesome it might be.  

Baby Bins

When one child asks for "baby bins", then so do all the others. Thankfully since we aren't going anywhere, ha, they had plenty of time to look.

John Deere Tractor

Dad put the battery back in the tractor today so it is a tradition that yard rides take place. New this year is it was done by Elyse and not dad.

Happy Anniversary

Today marks 15 years of marriage bliss.  Today was by no means the way we would have imagined but nevertheless it was special.  Thanks to the Cornavirus we had dinner at home with Chick-fila, did a scavenger hunt Elyse made for us, and spent our night reflecting on how blessed we are. So thankful for our marriage based on God, love, laughter, honesty, communication, friendship, and family. So looking forward to many more years to come. Happy Anniversary love. 

Happy Easter

Today we celebrated Easter, just a little different this year thanks to the Coronavirus and 4 inches of snow. We still spent our day doing most of our annual Easter traditions, watching not attending church to praise Jesus for dying for our sins, did the Easter story with resurrection eggs, did an egg hunt, colored our eggs, ate Easter brownies, and spent the day hanging out as a family thanking Jesus for what He has done.  

Happy Easter!

Fort Building

Thanks to the Coronavirus, we are still stuck at home trying to find things to do. Our school is so awesome at continuously trying to keep the community together, every Friday they do fun activities through zoom. Today's was, "Build a Fort". So families got on zoom to see each other's forts and go through the fort with each other. The boys love making them, so this was a no brainer that they were going to participate.  The forts, zoom session, and Legacy's community event did not disappoint, it was a great way to start off our Friday after a beautiful hour of chapel!

Typical Wednesday Night

This image is something that has become a regular on Wednesday nights.  Kids get pillows, blankets and lay on the floor to watch "The Mask Singer".
