Lost Count of What Annual We are On


We love camping with our dear friends and this year's trip proved why we kept camping with toddlers - now everyone is out of diapers and no naps were taken!


Saturday morning breakfast entertainment (but it only lasted for 2 songs because we told them it was against the rules of camping). How many little faces around one tiny little phone! :)





The big girls were working hard during the weekend on their Fairy Village. It turned out really well and the details were sweet.



This boy didn't sit still much. He was riding, scooting, digging in the dirt. He loved every minute.



Saturday afternoon we went on the longest-two-mile-hike.  Ha! Even to the adults it felt like a really long 2 mile trail, but we survived!! Here are the eager hikers - we should have taken an after picture ;)





Who doesn't bring a ukulele camping?! We had musical accompaniment to our Sunday service. Then the older kids planned "Sunday School" in the back of the truck for the "preschool class".  Chloe and Leah taught a lesson on Noah's Ark. Avery and April prepared a snack.  There was even a bathroom break and a game!


We can't wait for the next annual trip! :)

Best camping trip yet!!! We loved every minute. Especially the minutes when I watched my kids go to the bath house by themselves.

Spring has sprung?

This week has brought some strange weather! On Saturday, it was freezing while we watched Peter's baseball game - it was the "late night, under the lights" 8:00 pm game. and my toes were numb when the game was over. Then, Sunday was beautiful weather to watch soccer! April scored TWO goals in her game! We had a silent-auction at a church lunch on Sunday to raise money for the Youth Group Missions Trip. Peter bid on a cooler full of interesting flavored soda-pop....and he won! The first one he tried? Pickle Pop.  For a few years, our neighborhood has been the area of choice for a few mallard ducks to nest. The momma duck picked my neighbors' driveway this year...it seems like Spring must be coming if there are eggs!

Crazy May

 As is typical with three active kids, we've had a busy last few weeks! Photos coming soon of the dance recital, Peter's birthday party, school activities and more :)  Here is our May started: No power for 5 days! A wind-storm went through our area and several power lines were knocked over. We did have school for 3 days. The weather was perfectly sunny and 70 degrees, so it wasn't too bad :)

Mexico 2025 ;)

 After a year of not blogging, I'm making this post as an attempt to restart :)  We went on a family vacation back in February that was wonderful. It was a good time of year to travel and the picture above is from the first day. We got to the resort at lunchtime, threw on the swimsuits, and then had a dinner reservation at 6! So it was a jam-packed day but everyone was thrilled! We enjoyed time at the pool, the kids grew more confident in speaking Spanish and ordering drinks, and each night was a great dinner & ice cream at the little coffee shop :) Everyone has said they would go back :)  Maybe some day!
