Hunter turns 12

Hunter turned 12 today. Hard to believe he is this old. It seems like just yesterday he was born. We went as a family to Sun River to a virtual reality place where the kids got to play. Hunter had his friend Nathan from school come along. It was a great afternoon for a birthday celebration.

Thank you Hunter for being such a gift to us. Thank you for making us parents. We love you Hunter!!

Good Friday Dinner Party 2017

Today was Good Friday and we had our good friends the Warricks, their grandparents and the Dittmans over. It was a wonderful evening celebrating Easter. The kids played outside, painted bird houses and decorate cookies while the adults visited and had lots of laughs. We couldn't have asked for a better evening. When you live far from family your friends become like family. So thankful for the rich friendships God has provided.

Auntie Erin and the girls come to visit!

Erin and her girls, Charlotte and Anna came to visit us in Bend. We had a wonderful time together and took so many pictures that I could get them posted fast enough. Luckily for us, Erin took some great pictures and posted them on their blog. It was such a sweet time together and we were all sad to see them go. We look forward to the next time we are all together. 

To see the pictures of our visit they are on Erin's family blog on the link below.
