Jake had an awesome opportunity at end of spring break (which was also Easter). His Opa took him to Washington DC. They went to the Smithsonian, the Mall, and other DC sites. He had a blast looking at all the aircraft and riding on an airplane for the fist time! Even though all these things were great, the best thing that happened was that Jake accepted Jesus as his Lord and Saviour during the trip!!!!!! He had been thinking about it for a while and we had talked about it, but he and Opa started talking and he decided he was ready. What a special weekend, one that he will remember forever and that changed his life. Thank you to a special grandfather!

Addie and Max still love dying eggs. It's hard to wait until they get done, but they had a great time.

We are so blessed with such a wonderful family. Although we are very rarely all together for Christmas, we always enjoy the ones we are with. We always miss and remember the ones who cannot be with us. Our kids had a great time with cousins Ashley and Brynn.

Trying to get a Christmas card picture can take a while with three kids, but we sure have a fun time trying!

Our baby is 6! He had a great spiderman party at our church's game room with lots of friends and family. He got catcher's gear, mitt, and tons of toys. Max is a great little boy and we are so glad he is in our family!

Addie's two front teeth were already loose, but when she feel on the neighboor's trampoline, they got REALLY loose! They feel out a short time later.

We always love Halloween!! Addie went as Hannah Montana and the boys were their favorite Randall football players. Jake was #5 Blake Bonner and Max was #1 Brad McGinnis. Little cousin Ashley was Baby Bop. We went to Oma and Opa's and then to Randall for games and way too much candy. It was a great evening!

On Halloween, the kids got to dress up like what they want to be when they grow up. Max was a coach, Addie was a teacher, and Jake was an architect. Oh, and Trey dressed up like he
was still in high school. He's so fine!

Max had to miss his first day of kindergarten because he was having asthma trouble and had to go see Dr Walsh. Addie started 2nd and Jake started 4th. They had a great day! Max had his 1st day on the 2nd day of school and was welcomed by all his new friends. Trey is teaching freshman this year. We remember how we were in 9th grade, huh. Poor Trey, but he survived!
