Ruth's 3rd Birthday

Ruth loves Dora and wanted nothing other than a Dora party for her birthday. We invited several friends over for a little party and even Dora came for a visit! For her birthday present, we gave her a new bike with training wheels that she is quickly learning to ride quite well.

Esther's First Birthday

A picture's worth a thousand words, right? Well then...let's proceed. :)

This past Christmas (yes, I'm playing catch up), the three older children had an opportunity to participate in our church's children's Christmas program. Benjamin was a wise man, Sarah was an angel, and Rachel sang a duet with one of her friends.

Planes!

While my brother, Tim, and his family were visiting, a friend offered to take "the guys" to the local Air Force base to show them the planes. In one of the shots, Benjamin is standing in the cargo hold of a jet where they have previously had the President's limos parked. He also got to sit in the pilot's seat and press all the buttons he wanted! What a great time they had!

Rachel also had her gymnastics showcase last week. Here is the link to the YouTube videos of her performance. And here are some pictures of her class! Great job, Rach!

Benjamin's Gymnastics Showcase

Benjamin's first year of gymnastics ended last night and he showcased all that he has learned.  He has done very well, progressing through 3 classes in the course of the year.  There are 6 short videos posted on my YouTube channel of his various skills.  Here's a few pictures, too!

Esther's Dedication

Esther was dedicated to the Lord on Easter Sunday at Westside. As most of you know, this is really more of a dedication of us as parents and a time of commitment to the Lord to raise our children Biblically. Here are a couple of pictures of this special time.
