Moving Day!

We bought a house!  We officially moved in the weekend after Easter, and we're so grateful for the help from family and our church.  

Kyle and Stephen had the fun job of assembling the garage shelves...with my instructions, as Emmy and Eric and I have put them up and broken them down over and over again.  

Lots and Lots of work to do!  

Easter

We decorated eggs at the old place.

We hunted at the new house!  

Ryan helped Evan do his scripture today!

The fam, ready for church.  

Happy Easter!  

He is Risen! 

Fun School Stuff

There's been a few fun things at school in April: 

Evan met a big goal and got a lunch with mom at school.  

Kyle heard word that he was chosen for the BASSOON!!! for next year in middle school band.  

We all had a fun Friday night at the Purefoy Carnival.  

By the way, Evan won free wristbands for fun and food for the whole family.  (There was a school wide drawing, and our lucky boy saved the family a lot of cash!!!)

9 Years Old!

This little baby turned 9 years old today.  

Now, he's an amazing, loving, talented, creative, happy, friendly, 3rd grader.  

(Here he is, sharing the song his class sang at GMP.)

I had the special privilege of eating lunch with him at school.

 And, we partied hard that night as a family. He requested Mexican Slop for dinner and a red velvet 'sushi' cake.

He was so lovely as he opened his gift and read every card, made grateful comments over all the gifts, and explained how he was excited to use all the things.
