Fundraiser kickball game

Shortly after the school year began, a family (mother and children) were involved in a car accident. The mom and daughter were both in the hospital for a little while, but the son was injured more than them and may never be the same. It's a sad story. When the school decided to have a fundraiser kickball game, I was in! Patton and I met Micah after school and watched the game. Stacy was able to meet us there. They raised just at $1000 for the family and a good bit of people came. It was nice to see our little community come out to support them.

Small Group

Although we've been going to the same church for over a year now, maybe close to 2? We had yet to join a small group. The majority of churches that I know of have done away with Sunday school. I shouldn't complain about that, because it makes for a very long Sunday, but sometimes it might be easier to stay late on Sunday morning, than to have to find another night during the week to dedicate to a small group. We ended up finding one during the spring that was early on Sunday night AND had childcare on site! It was perfect! We signed up along with some of our friends, and I couldn't have loved it more. We met some many new people and some will be forever friends! I was sad to say good bye at the last meeting at the park.

Harrison Lee

We've been waiting patiently and were SO excited to celebrate the arrival of sweet baby Harrison. Sarah and I headed to "the other side of the world" to see Heather and Harrison. Heather asked me to take some pictures, so I brought my camera and took some super cute ones :) Then later that week, I visited them at home for some more. Sweet Sweet baby.

Black Belt Tiny Tiger!!

In just over a year and a half, Micah earned his black belt in the tiny tigers class for taekwondo. I was SO surprised! I thought he'd get a stripe on his red belt, but was pleasantly surprised that he moved up a belt instead. Breaking boards is my favorite part. Micah is one of the only one who breaks them on the first try.

End of the year program

I love every single thing about CW, but the end of the year program is one of my most favorite things ever. You better get there early, because they pack the church full. The children practice at the church for 3 days preparing for the big event. Patton was proud to be a duck, and not nervous at all. A bit overwhelmed by the number of people, but not nervous. The show was great even though when it was time for Patton's group to sing, they hardly moved their mouths during the whole song. They were still so stink in' cute anyway. 

Easter

After church on Easter we headed to the country for the annual Easter egg hunt.

 We worked hard on hiding the eggs in difficult places.

 Stopped to pose for a "grown up cousin pic" for those who came.

Made sure to get a pic of the little hunters.

 

 And off they go!

 

 We played on Mama's new toy….

 And sometimes people fell.

 People were proud of their finds.

 And proud of their prizes.

 Then we played some more.

What a beautiful and perfect day to celebrate.

Surprise!

We were so excited to be invited to Jonathan's surprise party that he planned for himself. Little did he know his sweet parents would actually plan to throw this party…. We surprised him and had a great time celebrating Jonathan's 4th year!
