I can sit!

Ryder is doing really good about sitting by himself. I usually sit behind him becuase he is still a little rocky. Olivia thinks it's funny b/c when he falls back his feet go straight in the air. Doesn't seem to phase Ryder - guess it helps to keep him on carpet with cushions around him.

Last soccer game

WE TIED!!!!!!

This was the last game of the season and we tied! This is a good thing, seeing that every other games we lost BIG TIME. This was a great game, we scored 4 points in the last 5 minutes to tie the game.

Lane hustling after it

Olivia playing with the boys. I don't think they realized that she has 2 older brothers. I took this picture, then turned around to watch the game. A couple minutes later I turned back around to check on her and the boys were running away from her screaming. It was great!
Cam....need I say more???
The photographer side of me saw this as a good shot - Luke and Olivia's feet
He got the most improved award - the coach said he doesn't believe Lane had never played before

Ryder likes the look of that lollipop

How "Grace" is our God

Olivia's favorite song right now is "How great is our God" although she can't say her t's - so it sounds like How Grace is our God. It is so sweet. Sometimes we will just sit and listen to the song, raise our hands in praise, close our eyes and sing to Him. I hope I never forget these priceless moments with her.

Worthy of all Praise

Took Ryder to the Endocronologist this week for a check up. His levels looked great and he will continue to take his hormone replacement medicine daily. I praise God for the medicine that enables him to grow normally!

Bonding with Papa

These pictures say a lot to me about how wonderful their Papa is. He loves to just hold his grandbabies and walk them around...talking to them... loving on them...bonding.

Preschool Easter Party

Notice the chugga boots - it was like 40 degrees! I think we had the cutest Easter basket.

Katelyn trying to paint a butterfly.

Planting seeds

A yummy treat

Easter dress

Olivia wore her Easter dress today. I couldn't wait another week for her to wear it. She looked so precious!!!! I am not sure what we will wear next week for Easter - might just have to go get something new ;-)

Olivia's 4 today!!!

A Barbie cake - of course. Leanne made this and it was the best cake ever!!!

Emma showing off her hoola-hooping skills

Race - Christian in the lead

Olivia turned 4 today. We had a few friends and neighbors with us to celebrate. It was a gorgeous day filled with lots of sunshine. Olivia spent the morning at the Easter party at church (had her face painted) and then we came back to celebrate.

Race

I caught these pictures while the boys were racing down at the trails. Luke is riding a scooter in case you were wondering why he looks so funny. Not sure who won - they were too fast for the little "guys" and me.
