Happy 12th Birthday!!
Happy Birthday Josiah!! His birthday involved going out for supper with mom and dad and going to see Captain America: The Winter Soldier with friends from MC and their dad's. So proud of the young man God is creating him to be, my prayer for him is that he would continue following hard after God's desires for his life!!

Josiah's Band Concert
Josiah was in band this year and he played the trombone (just like his dear old mom did). He enjoyed it and actually received a scholarship to attend the International Music Camp located in the Peace Gardens this summer. Here's a pic of him and his cousin Emma who is also in his grade and in the same band, but she plays trumpet. I think more band concerts are in our future!
Graduation Videos
For the grandparents, here are some videos of the extreme cuteness that can only be found at Kindergarten Graduation!
My Baby Graduated!
Wowzers!! I can't believe my 'baby' graduated from Kindergarten this year. It's been a year of ups and downs and lots of transitions as we loved on 4 different kids through foster care this school year. Seth had a few days that were harder, but overall he rose to the challenge of school this year and we are so proud of him! He was certain he knew everyone in the school and they all knew him...honestly, with his personality I wouldn't be surprised. It was rare that I walked with him through school and he didn't get multiple greetings. Thank you Mrs. Gehrke for being a phenomenal Kindergarten teacher for both Alayna & Seth!! As we transition out of kindergarten and look ahead to first grade...he is excited to ride the bus with Alayna next year and attend the same school as her. I'm excited for them to be together also!!

Easter 2014
I keep this blog because I don't scrapbook and I've come to terms with the fact that I never will. It's not fun for me and I just really don't like it -- how's that for honesty??!! I have plenty of friends who find it fun and relaxing and that is TOTALLY not me. I appreciate uploading pictures, writing some captions and then one day paying someone else to make my blog into a book for me to keep. :)
Here are some pictures from our Easter celebration this year!

Weekend With Friends
Dear friends are on a trip to Germany, while they are gone we are hanging with their kiddos (let's be honest, our kids are hanging out with them)!
Reading together in bed before it was time to sleep
Many lego cars have been made and after completion they bring them to the kitchen to test out how fast the motors can make them actually go
The girls continued working on the 'fort'/hole in the snow in the front yard
These 2 have been 'friends' since Josiah was born (he's about 6 months younger). We somewhat forced their friendship when they were young and yet as the years have gone by, they have continued building on that friendship and even though miles separate them, they still look forward to hanging out together. Someday I'll have to put a collage together of these 2 over the years (his mom and I would probably cry).
Isaac is older, but Josiah is taller, so here's Isaac trying to shrink Josiah for the picture. :)
We took the kids sledding and they all had a great time. The weather was perfect and the hill was FAST! It was fun to take lots of shots of them going down the hill.
Here's a couple videos from the sledding fun!
