April and May Mingled

These three cuties danced the day away at their final spring dance performance!

 If I scoured my phone a bit more, I bet I could find a handful of these selfies!

Theo usually has the biggest grin. He must get a kick out of showing only his lower jaw line!!

Fairy Ballerinas

Cousins for breakfast!

Today, we met a new friend Marshall. So big and alert!

Awana's end of the year program...

And Easter at GG and Gampys!

Lots of egg hunts...

Easter at Aunt Reena and Uncle Roj's

Fun for all!

Sam bravely gives the motor bike a try up north.

We all enjoyed the sunshine and company!

Branch races

Gretta and Sam are now communing members of Jacob's Well!

A beautiful Sunday stroll with GG and Gampy for mother's day. Coffee, site-seeing, and lots of laughs!

Playing baseball near Aunt Jane's 

On the way to t-ball practice!

Memorial Day Camping with the Jacksons and Alaina :)

Hey boys!

"yeah?"

Best Buds

Brrr but refreshing!

And this guy- gave all his might to join our bike rides. Until next month...

April

Sammy turned 11 on March 30th! Tim is planning to take the older two boys hiking in Upper Michigan starting this summer or fall. Sam is wearing his gift!

Happy Easter from our family to yours!

Though Gretta turned 12 in December, this month worked the best for a party with friends!

They decorated dishes...

played games, and sang Happy Birthday! Such sweet friendships- 

these ladies are wiser than their years!!

Theo turned 5 on April 18th- he wanted to go bowling, so here we are! 

He used the plastic dino and did great!

Five is fantastic.

 Faces of History...Durer, Poseidon, Nefertari & Cleopatra, Oh my!

Visiting Granny. She is so spunky & fun, even in the hospital! 

We are thankful she is on the mend and out of the hospital now!

Did someone say "ice cream"??

Which one's which? Sam and Caleb...or is it Harry and Harry?

These four (minus one) are all memory masters- way to go!!

2 Tigers and a Butterfly. So pretty!

And finally, a birthday celebration for these two. Along with a game of Monopoly- cheaters edition!

Fantastic Florida

Sweet cousins visiting for Sy's basketball game- even on a blizzard night!

Leila in first position waiting for the music to start...

Sy and I really wanted burgers for our time together. A & W delivered!!

Ben and Sam compete at our annual Syble Hopp games. So fun!

Swimming in FL! Fort Walton Beach was a blast! Here we are, swimming on the first day.

The view from the 5th floor. Sigh.

We took lots of delight in finding shells on the beach- they point to our creative God who even in these small things, reveals His beauty!

Say "cheese" if you're from Wisconsin!

Dressed for the weather. Anything beats ten below.

One of our favorite places in FL- the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensicola. Maybe one of these kiddos will fly a plane some day!

Until next month...
