Happy 22nd Anniversary to us!

May 18th marked our 22nd wedding anniversary. Time flies!  Lots has happened in these 2 plus decades. "For better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health"...about sums it up!  You take those vows and then live them with your best friend and work together to build a family that continues to serve our loving God Jehovah. 

Greatfull for my whole family and extended family of good friends. 

We had kind of a laid back weekend this year. Noah was gone much if the weekend with friends but we did go to dinner and a movie and got beautiful flowers from both moms (a bouquet and some planted flowers for outside).  Only a few more years til the next milestone of 25!

Did I mention I love flowers? And pictures of them...

They are babies yet but will fill in huge. :) 

5th Grade Spring Pics

Finally got Noah's Spring pics about 3 weeks before school is out. Worth the wait though, they turned out good. Growing so fast. Winding up the Elementary School Career.

Last Choir Concert of 5th Grade

May 9th was the end of the choir season at Noah's school. He has enjoyed being part of that group. They have an amazing music teacher right now and she really knows how to keep the kids motivated. She truly loves music and it totally shows.  This concert was all about Broadway show tunes. The kids practiced a lot and had greatly improved from winter. Next year in Middle school Noah has chosen Band (Sax) so that will be a whole new adventure!  

Spring? Or Winter?!

This year in MN we have odder than normal weather. It is April and we keep getting tossed back intoWinter. Enough! It warms up and we lose most of our snow, then...just teasing...more snow! Our poor outdoor birdies are so confused. So are us people. A few shots from the last week. Peekaboo snow. The one nice sunny day we got all the neighborhood kids came out of hibernation. Whoops back inside now LOL.

Spring Circuit Assembly trip to Rochester

We just had our Circuit Assembly last week. Weekend of spiritual refreshment and good association. I wasn't so great with the camera though, so few pics at the assembly site. We had around 2200 for the weekend and 7 were baptized. Baxter went with us and stayed at a kennel down there too. Can't wait to see all our friends again at the summer convention.

5th Grade Field trip to MN Zoo

March 28th Brent went with the fifth grade classes to the MN Zoo. They got some classroom time in the morning then some free time to explore, a monorail ride and a session of the bird show (Brent got to participate in the show too). Everyone had a nice time but it all went really fast in a busy day.
