Lucy turns five!!!

Lucy and Maren at a Pinkalicios party. What fun we had! Happy birthday Lucy!
Just had to get those matching outfits!

Lucy wanted to have a birthday party at grandma's with all her cousins. So we went to Crane park and enjoyed dinner and fun with cousins. Later that week I was able to take Maren and went to a pinkalicious party. Maren really enjoyed the time with her cousins and especially to go with grandma. She says to her mom, "remember when I had a good time?' Glad she could go with me.

The Rook Tournament!!! Clarke's birthday party!

So Clarke likes to do a birthday party that involves a competition. He has lives out of state for the past three years of this tradition, so we have been unable to attend. This year was awesome as Jared, Ashley , Allyson, me , his cousin Jon and wife Jennifer and Sarah and Spencer Hyer and kids were able to attend along with many friends. There were able to use the club house in their townhome. We all had a great time. Happy 33rd Clarke! Can it be that my first baby is 33?????

Another year brings many blessings!

Happy birthday dinner !
Happy birthday dad.
Benson loves his grandpa!!!
Jared turned 57 this March 6th and we enjoyed dinner with family, games and grandchildren. The years continue to fly by but we feel so blessed to have family close by. Thanks for being there for us! We love you all.
