Kyra is 7!!

On Mother's Day Kyra turned 7!! She was born on a Saturday night before my first Mother's Day and she has been such a blessing to our lives!

Blowing out the candles at our family party with Mema and Grandma and Papa.


Not only did the pinata have candy, but turned into party hats for everyone:)

Kyra is such a great big sister! This is the first time we've had a child old enough to really help with the baby and it's so fun!


Whackin' the pinata!


We took a family trip to the bowling alley with Papa and Grandma and the kids had a blast- mommy won the game:)


The kids watching Daddy bowl


Orange was the color of the day! Even Hayley did great(with ramp and bumpers)!





We had some friends over earlier in the week for bottlecap necklace making, cake, icecream and a magic show by Kyra(thanks to Papa Bob and Auntie Robin for the magic trick kit)!




Long time firends Mary and Naomi were born the same week as Kyra. This year they all got their ears pierced for their birthdays!



It wouldn't be a party without these silly boys!!


Kyra was blessed with friends and a fun day!



She she is in her 7 year old glory! Can't wait to see what God has in store for her this next year! We love you Kyra!

Long time no blog...

Busy...I think this is the word that will describe our lives for a long time, but I love it!! I would want nothing else than pouring into these little blessings each day even when they throw up all over you in the middle of the grocery store like Sophy did yesterday(but that's a story for a different time:)). So what have we been up to besides school, swimming lessons, watching Daddy's track meets, gymnastics, church activities, etc???



A very fun trip to the zoo with friends...

They almost put Myles in the monkey cage:P



Everytime I let Sophy out of the stroller, she took off!

Hayle-bug




I know this looks sort of dangerous...but no one fell on their head and it makes for a fun picture! Notice that the 3 youngest are NOT in this picture:)


Fun with friends!




Here's Sophy on the move! She's hard to get pictures of these days because she never sits still! And yes, that is a pair of someone's underwear she's holding...I'm pretty sure they were clean.

We've been spending lots of time outside before the weather gets too hot! Sometimes school, lunch, and playtime outside :)

We also did the T-bird Trot 5k and kids fun run! Daddy won the 5k in 16:30 and all 3 oldest did the whole kids run without stopping! Myles also won a free month to a kids gym.

Every finisher got their own T-bird Trot dog tag necklace-a big hit!

The oranges were delicious...



A few of my favorite runners:)


Sophy hung out in the jogger!


Race numbers pinned and they're ready to run!!

Easter Centerpiece!

Myles working hard to dye those eggshells! The making of our nest...


just hatched...

peep, peep, peep

Praying that this verse reminds us more and more of the hope and joy we have in Christ and what He accomplished on the cross!

Heard around the house...

Before going to the pool... Myles: "I think they call it sunscream because we always scream when you put it on!"
