Abby's earrings!

I forgot to post this, but Abby finally got her ears pierced! It only took about a year for her to gain the courage, but she finally did it. Grandma Connie took her to do it, and she ended up with all sorts of goodies from Claire's. She's almost at the end of her 6 weeks and she's so excited that she'll be able to change her earrings pretty soon. Only 5 more days....

Jacob's First Day of Kindergarten!

Today was Jacob's first day of school. I can't believe it's here already, he's growing up so fast! He was very excited to go and he really enjoyed it. Isaac and Abby were both excited that he got to ride the bus with them. So here's some pictures of today and a little video of him getting off the bus.

Nathaniel's Birthday Party

I'm a little behind with this one, but we had Nathaniel's party on July 26th. He had a great time with his friends and some of his cousins. His friends Jody and Jimmy came over and his cousins Brice, Lily, Jadea and Armand were here too. He ended up getting some new shoes, a book, body spray, a Bass Pro gift card and quite a bit of cash. He ended up with $150 to spend at Bass Pro where Papa Lind helped him get a new bow.

Baptisms and Dedication

This past Sunday we had our first Baptism and Dedication at our church. Isaac and Israel got baptized, Abby attempted, but got cold feet at the last minute, and Jacob was dedicated. It was a very joyful and blessed day!

Little Noah who isn't so little anymore...

Here's a couple new pictures of Noah who at just over 5 months old weighs in at 20 lbs. The picture of Abby holding him should show his adorable chunkiness. (Abby at 7 1/2 yrs old weighs in at a whopping 45 lbs.)

Trip to the Zoo with Tio and Anna

The kids got to go to the zoo yesterday with Tio Israel and Anna. The whole group came home exhausted, but they had a great time. So here are some pictures of the fun!

No Excuses

It has been forever since I've posted anything and I could give all sorts of reasons why, but I won't. Anyway, the kids go back to school August 19th. Jacob will be in Kindergarten, Abby in 2nd, Isaac in 4th and Nathaniel in 6th grade! I can't believe he is in middle school, the time has just flown by. The summer has been fun, no special trips, but we bought a trampoline and a swing for our tree. The kids have been enjoying them. Everything is about the same for Vince and me, still at the same jobs, but we did get a new van in May (Mother's Day). We have really enjoyed that.

Well here's some pictures!

Today the kids are at the Zoo with their Tio Iz and Anna. Hopefully I'll have some pictures of that later.
