Caleb's Fun Spring!

Image
What a special Spring it has been with Caleb! He makes Kyle and I smile everyday because he is one super sweet boy. Check out some fun memories we've had with our almost 2nd grader! It was the "Year in Review" for Caleb's 1st grade class and Caleb did a great job reading Mays poem for the month! After  the program we ate cookies and punch together and visited with his friends. Caleb totally ROCKS the coolness factor in our boat. He is total chill man AND doesn't hesitiate to take on a challenge when given one- 1st Boy to jump  in the lake this year! Slushie Winner!! Caleb James has so much fun playing soccer on Saturday mornings. We love cheering him on and keeping score of the games even though they keep saying "We're all winners!" This Gcrew knows better,  and Caleb likes knowing who really won. :)  We are super fond of Caleb's coach, Coach Nacho! He is a really good coach for Caleb and we feel so lucky to have had him for M

May started us off at the ball field watching our Drew play some traveling ball. It has been so fun watching Drew and his team play some pretty competitive games this spring. The team ready to see what the season brings. Drew at bat! Catching a few smiles on the side :) In Action! Drew has really enjoyed pitching this year. He has shown some talent in it so far and we are so proud of how hard he works.  Great team, Awesome friends! 1st game Complete! At the Baldwin Tournament where the boys really had to hold their own. Fun to watch some great baseball. Exhausted from playing 5 games, but still smiling! Andrew, so fun to watch you and your friends play ball this Spring! Proud of you buddy. 4th Grade Baseball-It's just the beginning of a great season!

Mother's Day

It was such a beautiful day to celebrate our moms and enjoy being with family. My Mom is so special to me. She is always there for me, calls me on the phone to say Hi!, sends me texts each morning, prays for me and loves me each and everyday. I am thankful for her and as I get older I cherish the time with my mom more and more.  Mom and I spend so much time loving on all the boys in our family that we rarely sit down long enough to get a picture together! I love this pic of us. Being mom to these 4 boys brings me such JOY! It's a handful of work and energy BUT so worth every minute!! And Nana... a mom and mother in law who is so special to Kyle and I. Super fun to spend time with her on Mother's Day! She is someone we go to for prayer, guidance, friendship and times to leave the boys and refresh. Nana, I feel so grateful to have you in my life! Love our weekly checkins and you are always so gracious to me. It was a Great Mother's Day spending time with the Moms

OC16 was Incredible! This was Kyle and my 3rd year in going to the Orange Conference in Atlanta. So thankful to be able to get away to refresh spiritually and emotionally, and get charged up to go back home and serve God in Menomonie in the areas we love to serve in.  Each year looks different in the crew that comes along with us. The theme this year was, Monday Is Coming! Such a fun group of friends Kyle and I get to serve alongside with. Thankful for parents who so generously offer to help us to make it all happen. Here's a sneak peak at the "stuff" they did while we were away! Awana Award Ceremonies on Wednesday night! All the boys got awards and certificates for all the hard bible memorizing they did this year! Go Jake! Proud of my boys for dedicating each morning before breakfast to memorizing and reading Gods word each day. This summer we have decided to start journaling and writing daily Letters to God. Drew also asked if he could read a devotional o
