Spring Break Day 4...

We took Bella and hiked at Loch Raven Resevoir...the boys explored an old cemetery, blew dirt like some people blow snow and or glitter and Micaiah chased and caught Will...

Caterpillars to Butterflies...

This is a process we have enjoyed over the past few years. It really never gets old. It's pretty simple too.  We order the caterpillars from Insect LoreThe cup arrives at your door that includes caterpillars (larvae) and caterpillar food. It's a marvelous transformation to witness and it has so much spiritual significance.

As we approach his 6th birthday we are celebrating that his first loose tooth (that has been hanging by a thread for days) finally came out!

Spring Break Day 3...

We finally found a place that will allow Eli to work on his Ninja Warrior training skills...Stratosphere Trampoline Park. This was a fun option for our family because the older three could work on the training course while the rest of us enjoyed the trampoline park.  It wasn't busy at all so we had a couple family dodge ball games with the court all to ourselves. 





 And we there was a Dairy Queen on the way home!!

Spring break calls for slow mornings. But our boys are still early risers and enjoy a good sunset once in a while. I want to remember mornings like these.  Sunrise out the attic window with William.

Spring Break 2016 Day 2...

We drove out to Cunningham Falls State Park and enjoyed an afternoon hike to the falls. The boys loved climbing the big rocks along the Cliff Falls Trail.  Afterward, Grandma and Pap met us for a little fishing around the lake.

Funny, Funny and More Funny...

"Will look here..."

088|366 {Here}...

See those 3 pecks over on the far shore? It's a few of the boys fishing. They may not have caught anything but we didn't mind spending the afternoon here enjoying this pretty view.

Easter Hike at Dusk...

We decided to take a hike around the reservoir near dusk on Easter evening. The boys were excited to use their head lamps and back packs. Micaiah and Eli spent a good amount of time trying to build a fishing pole to fish.

Easter Strings...

Many years ago, we began a tradition of tying a certain colored string to each of the boys doorknobs that they have to follow to their Basket on Easter Morning. They still enjoy this process and as they've gotten older it's been really fun for us to try to get around the house before we go to bed!
We pained the boys by taking a few pictures with each of us Easter morning. The one of the boys with Wes is CLASSIC.
Eli had the idea to take this picture. Over the years I've learned that they will stay more engaged with you taking photos if you let them give you some ideas every once in a while.
Late afternoon we had an egg hunt in the yard. This year was interesting because the boys actually helped us fill the eggs before Wes hid them.
