Thanks Aunt Debi

A couple of weeks ago, Landen's aunt Debi came over from the

Tri-Cities and while she was here she took some absolutely

amazing pictures of Hudson, Caleb, Grant, and Halle. It was so

much fun because we basically just let the kids play and she

took pictures of them in action! The next couple of posts are

just a few of the pictures she took- it was hard for me to choose

which ones to put up becausethey are all so cute! Thank you

Aunt Debi for doing this for us- we really appreciate it!

Sunday at the beach

Landen and I look forward to Sundays because

it is our day to take a nap and rest! Well, Yesterday

our two children conspired against us and decided

they were only going to sleep about an hour, so we

were not able to take a nap! Ahhh! So, we packed

up the kids and the car and headed for an afternoon

at the beach! It was a lot of fun- Halle fell asleep in

the baby bjorn so I watched Landen and Caleb

play together- it was so cute!

They made it to the top! Caleb is looking a little

upset because he did not want help at

the moment.

Congratulations Kristen!

We went to Spokane this last weekend

because Kristen finished up her 4 years

at Moody Bible Institute and we wanted

to be there for her graduation! We are so

proud of her- she ended up graduating with

highest honors (I think her GPA was a 3.86)!

She will be staying in Spokane for the summer

and then will head off to Asia the end of August

to teach English!
