happy birthday lynn #40!!

This is my dear friend from many moons ago. Do you remember that friend that you grew up with? We just happen to still be dear friends. I was able to drive up and celebrate with her and her girl party! It was so fun. Happy Birthday Lynn!

a wedding with flower girl

Here is the lovely bride. Many of the photos I took in the chapel area just did not turn out well, so I will keep honing that skill I hope. This is why you see no handsome bridegroom here.
This wedding was so sweet and God honoring as their promises were made. Praise God for them and the couple's life together.

uncle karl

Thanks Uncle Karl, for all you do to minister our family. You truly are the best!! We don't know what we would do without you and Patty. We love you!

brotherly love

FUN CITY!!!!

Fun City was great! We have been trying to plan this since B finished phase 4 and here we are, finally there. We wanted to do something simple, but special to celebrate together as a family. We also brought our 5th kid, good family friend Casey.

We started out the first night bowling in the fun atmosphere of black lights and pizza. Hey, there's T just chillin'. He really has some skill at this game too.

The big boys are drummin' to a different beat on this electronic game. And you thought there was no exercise with these games. :)

We had to try the race cars. The kids (including the big kid here) loved those little race cars. I even raced and have formed the opinion that it was fun for the first 2 rounds then it starts to shake the stomach around a bit. I am sensitive that way.

Water park water slides.

Look at that thick hair!! It is so fun to rub it after he gets out of the pool and it gets all wavy and curly. He tells me has been praying that it won't end up curly, but I thought it was adorable. He won't mind it too much.

Daddy's birthday is Tuesday and he is 40!!
Can you believe it?
We had some cake and sang to him.
Happy Birthday honey, you're the best!

CAUTION: what you are about to see next could be disturbing to some of you, so view with caution as you are about to witness a sensitive, smelly teen filled domain.....be glad there is no smello-blog right now! :)
