Legacy's Spring Production

Dad, Elyse and Elyse's best friend, Ava got to attend Legacy's spring musical, "My Fair Lady".  Due to the blizzard last Saturday we had to reschedule for Friday night's show.  The tickets weren't as good but the show once again did not fail.  Elyse loved it and already asked if she can go next year again?  We love her enjoyment of musicals, because it's one of our favorite things too!

Happy 13th Anniversary

Today we celebrated thirteen years of marriage!  Unfortunately due to the blizzard this weekend, kids and work we were unable to celebrate with just us.  Although we are hopeful that God will continue to bless us with many more years in which we can celebrate it right.  Overall, beyond grateful to wake up and fall asleep next to my best friend every night.  

Love you and always will. 
Happy Anniversary!

School Buddy

Every Thursday I have been taking an online foster care training on infants and toddlers of trauma. Really enjoy the class but really enjoy my buddy next to me working hard on his school stuff more.

He is Risen!

Today we celebrated one of my favorite days throughout the whole year, Easter.  We spent our day doing our annual Easter traditions, got in our best attire to go to church to praise Jesus for dying for our sins, came home to do the Easter story with resurrection eggs, opened our Easter bags, and ate a delicious meal as a family (this year was in the company of friends).  The day ended with fun family time thanking Jesus for what He has done.  

Happy Easter!

Rise Up with Jesus

Today was our church's annual Easter activity called, "Rise Up with Jesus".  The morning was filled with activities that taught children the true meaning of Easter.  We were welcomed by a live donkey.  Following that we had the last supper, prayed as Jesus did, tasted the vinegar Jesus did just before he died, did a Jesus takes away our sins activity, take home crafts and ate yummy treats.  Such a special and memorable activity our church does that I really appreciate!  

Kallen Turns 6 Years Old

Today Kallen turns 6!  It feels like yesterday that our little chunky monkey was welcomed into this world.  He is growing up before our eyes to become one intelligent, humorous, engineer boy who thankfully still asks for his nightly cuddles.  

Currently Kallen loves anything to do with Legos, playing with friends, school, swimming, games, and Ninjago Ninjas.  

Happy 6th Birthday, Kallen!

We are so thankful for you and we hope you have a great day!  
We love you so much.

Ninjago Ninja Lego Birthday Party

Kallen decided for this 6th birthday that he enjoyed everything about Caleb's party so much he wanted to do the same thing for his.  So he too had a Lego Ninjago Ninja party with 9 of his closest buddies.  The party consisted of the boys playing Ninja bingo, attempting to pass through Dad's awesome ninja course, decorating their golden ninja swords, eating cake and Kallen opening his presents.       

Book Fair

Today was Legacy's Annual Book Fair.  February is "I Love to Read Month" at school and the students are encouraged to read longer than normal requirements and then make a display of their favorite book.  Minus typing out the boys' responses and helping to find pictures online, their projects were done on their own and they turned out great!  Elyse presented hers to the families while the boys stood by their work and answered questions family members may have had.  Very proud of the three and all their hard work this month.
