A visit from the cousins!

We have so much fun when my sister's kids come to visit! They are great kids, always up for whatever fun we have in store! This time we had a Valentine's Day celebration and then went to San Diego to stay in a beach house and went to Sea World. It was a great time!

Indian in the Cupboard Family Fun Night

This year in school we are reading a children's novel each month that also has a movie to go along with it. We finished Indian in the Cupboard in the fall and had a Family Fun Night and watched the movie. The girls loved it!

We had Indian stew and cherry pie

Millie gets Baptized!

Millie accepted Jesus as her savior awhile ago and has been asking ever since to get baptized. We put it off for awhile wanting to make sure she really understood what she would be doing. She was persistent and seemed to get it so a few weeks ago, she did it!

We are so proud of you for being obedient to God and taking this first step in your faith Millie Mae!

We love you so much!

These pictures were taken awhile ago to show the progress of our garden. It grew pretty well this year but I still need a lot of work perfecting this skill!
