Dancing Majors

Welcome sweet little Nathan!

I neglected to put these pictures up from our trip to Buffalo. Our new little cousin just made his arrival from Korea three weeks prior to when we visited. Matthew followed him around all day. He was so sweet and loving. What a blessing. Matthew wanted to crawl with his new friend!
Is that not the sweetest face? He has adjusted so well and is very lucky to have such wonderful parents and a new sister.
He and Ben celebrated their birthdays.
mmm love that cake!! He dove right in.
Happy Birthday! We love you so!

Yeah Football!!!!!

We went to fan day at UK and I have to tell you we have not been there since Marv was playing and that has been a while. The boys had the best time playing on the field. They are ready to start football training with the help of Bubby.

Matthew is working on his defensive stance. He is already a hard hitter.

"Don't let the passy fool you Wyatt, you run the ball and I will block"

A few tips from some real players....

Ben has been working on passing and running - if he can only hold his head up in the helmet.

We're ready to play!! Go CATS!!! Go LCA EAGLES!!!

Evan turns 5!!!

Look at these handsome dudes! We will take one like this for the 16th birthday too. Mattie and Lily hamming it up.
Watch out, Lily's got a squirt gun.

Evan and Ben climbing the wall to the cyclone (the gigantic water slide)
and down they come!!Thanks Evan for a wonderful day - we love you so!

Ben's 4th Birthday!

I cannot believe that our little Ben is 4!! We have had four wonderful years with him and can't wait to see what else is to come. We had such a wonderful time with all of his adorable friends. They all seemed to have a great time running around the back yard and eating cake. Ben is still talking about when this friend was here and this friend came over. He just asked me "whose birthday is next"! All this partying has been a lot of fun!





Bubby and Ben worked in the morning to paint the animal tracks outside. Bubby did quite a job! It was very sad for both of them when they washed away.













Here are some picture of his friends and all the action! They were going on a safari and found lots of animals.

I Love this picture of Ben and the girls. Lauren Clay didn't think she was in the picture so she was leaning in to make sure. So cute.

Thank you so much to everyone for coming and participating in our Safari! Ben was so thrilled to have all his buddies there. He cannot wait for everyone to come back.

Camping at Papa and Nani's

Papa and Nani have been working very hard to make the perfect campsite in their woods. It is very rustic - lots of woods, cooking by the campfire, sleeping in the tent. Don't let the scenery fool you Nani made sure they had all the comforts of home - bedtime snacks, Lightning McQueen air mattress, and fan run to then with a extension cord if needed. Thanks Nani and Papa.

Ben had been packing his bag for weeks for the big camp out!

Ben slept great in the tent. The s'mores and bedtime story did the trick, as soon as he woke up with the sun, he told Papa he was ready for pancakes. He cannot wait to come back.

Last Day of School

Ben had a wonderful last day of school, however he is very confused why he is not going back and sad because he loves his friends and teachers so much. They made their own sundaes,


















Played puzzles - Ben's favorite,

















and played on the blow ups! What a fun day.

He will really miss his teachers - they were wonderful


















and his good friends.
