Teen Retreat!

Last weekend was the teen retreat at camp. I somehow turned into the cook for the weekend, but as you can see, I had plenty of help. 
All the cousins had the best time hanging out all weekend.

The chapel renovation is coming along nicely! Almost finished!
There was a slam bang fire, but I was home putting the boys to bed. 
Anna Kate and Eleonora had a sleepover with Gramma in the midst of all the fun. 
Benjamin loved eating with the big boys!

They went on a new hike right above my parents’ house. 
I thought this was cute. Steven signed his drawing of a giraffe as “Steven the kid” because he was afraid people at camp might think Papa drew it instead of him. 
Speaking of Steven, I’m loving all his baby teeth. I think they’ll start falling out soon, which will be cute too, of course!
We hung out at my parents’ house after the retreat for Heather’s birthday party. 

Good times all around!

Happy weekend!

Farm Day!

We visited Amanda’s little farm yesterday after school. 

This is how my kids actually felt about touching the animals. Haha 
But they still enjoyed the experience.
On the way home, Steven pumped the gas for me. He was feeling proud. 

I didn’t get any pictures of Lydia or Benjamin…not sure that either of them touched an animal. Ha!

Hope you have a lovely spring day!

Happy Spring!

I got my kids dressed up semi-matching for church, so I had to take a picture. 
But it was raining, so the porch had to do!


Loving the spring weather…minus the pollen!

Twins!

Two sets of twin cousins today!
The girls planned their matching outfits down to their socks. 
I think it would have been so fun to go to school with my cousins!

Atlanta Zoo!

 These pictures are backwards, but here we go!

On our way out of Atlanta, we stopped at The Varisty. Joel and I went there on our honeymoon for some reason, so it was good to reminisce. 

We also went to IKEA. The kids loved playing in all the rooms, and thankfully we didn’t lose anyone. Almost lost Benjamin once though!
Ok, so now onto the zoo!


We got to go on a fun little train ride. 

For some reason, the boys really wanted their picture taken with these suitcases. Haha 




We watched the flamingos for a long time!
We all loved the hotel breakfasts!
Such a fun trip!
