May Catch Up

We had a lot of fun trying to sneakily deliver our May Day flowers.

Isabel asked me to take this picture of them before church.

Abby and I got to join Isabel's preschool class for a fun farm field trip.

Spring Break

The big kids asked to go back to Manhattan again this year for Spring Break, and we obliged. We hiked the Kanza Prairie, visited campus, went bowling, played games at the rental house, visited Manhattan Hill, and ate lots of good food.

Park Party

I don't think I've ever been a month and a half behind on the blog! We'll start the catch-up way back at Emma and Abby's joint birthday party at the park.

Max is 10!

Max's birthday was on Tuesday, and according to him, it was the best birthday ever. He's easy to please! Max always keeps us laughing. He loves family time and sports, and we love the life and energy that he brings to our home. Bring on the double digits!

Abby is 2!

We had such a fun day celebrating Abby today! She was so excited when we sang to her and she got to blow out her candles. We are all in agreement that she should still be a baby and definitely not a two-year-old. We love watching her sweet little personality develop, and we all still gush at each new word or skill she learns. She is such a joy in our lives. 

Emma is 7!

Emma is easy to celebrate. She brings fun and excitement to all that she does. Being the middle child gives her a fun advantage in that she plays well with both the big kids and the little kids. She is definitely a light in our family, and it is such an honor to be able to watch her grow. 

Book fair

The book fair was a success. Abby loves the first book about this squirrel, so she was very excited to find the followup.

Chiefs!

Max and Chris made history a couple weeks ago! They went to the coldest Chiefs game to be played at Arrowhead Stadium! Some friends from church got the idea to make the trip after they saw the low ticket prices caused by the cold temperatures. Chris and Max decided to join, and after a couple hours of scrounging up layers and blankets, they were off! The Chiefs won, the guys got home after midnight, and they made memories that will last a lifetime.

Spelling Bee

Natalie won the middle school spelling bee today! 

Snow Days!
