Easter 2015

For Easter this year, we had Grandma and Grandpa, Mima and Papa Cheech, Aunt Debbie and Uncle Chip and the Columbus cousins. We had an amazing meal and so much fun together. This was Analiese's last year for the Easter Egg Hunt. She is soon headed to youth group.  Colin is with his buddies Owen and Jameson. Analiese enjoyed the hunt with Hannah and Josie.

Comic Con

Brandon started school this year at the STEM school. With such a big change, we were all a little nervous. However, he has come through with flying colors. I am amazed at how well he is handled the transition. He has made great friends, done very well in his classes, and just really matured overall. He even ended up with a 4.0! One of the highlights of the year was getting the top score on his American History comic book. He was chosen to present his comic book at Comic Con.  He did amazingly well speaking, and presenting himself.

Here is Brandon with his friend Jordan. They worked together on their comic book. We also bought Five Nights at Freddy's prints. It was pretty cool to see all the artists there.

My 43rd birthday!

I had a fun gathering for my birthday at our house. Beautiful wildflowers from Nicole Sturk. Then this bunch of lilies and baby's breath from Jeff. Sarah took me out and made me a special "clean" cake to go along with our recent eating changes.  We had a great time talking and eating and drinking and having a great celebration!  So grateful she took the time to enjoy my day.

Early Spring 2015

So refreshing to get out in the open air. We were off to the park and Colin started baseball practice much to his chagrin. He was not interested in baseball when the season began.

The Slow Days of Winter

Colin enjoyed having Nate over after church. Nate's family has gotten over the flu and he was itching to get with a friend.  Colin was happy to oblige since he constantly asks to have Nate over. They are such good buddies.  The girls made Rapunzel hair out of organza.today we talked about fossils in Amber so we took a stinkbug and preserved it in honey. Fun times.Alexa was extremely proud of her mountain that she made out of the pastels that Analiese let her have.

Today was a snow day and a beautiful day it was. Brandon had an eday.  We are all equipped for these wintery days.  Juice plus, lots of books, and some great lemon scented hand lotion. What more do you need?
