It Is Well With My Soul

 Finally we made it to the end of our sicknesses and boy, were we happy to be out of the house! We spent a little time at the mall last week and the boys rode the carousel. On Friday we were super excited to spend the day at the Children's Museum with my cousin, Cara, and her two little boys. Cara and I were roommates in college and it has been way too long since we've spent time together. The boys had tons of fun playing together and Cara and I got to catch up. By the time we went home both the boys were exhausted. I think I carried both of them into the house and plopped them on the couch.

On Saturday we went to Tom's brother Joe's Power Lifting Meet. Joe was lifting for Hope Kids and raised more than $16,000 (over $100,000 by the entire team) to benefit Hope Kids. We all watched Joe bench press 633lbs. Wow. Can you imagine? We came home pooped at the end of the day and we didn't even lift anything. :)

Sunday brought church and a little bit of rest. Today we are busy preparing for Grandmommy and Grandpa's arrival tomorrow. They will be in the cities until after Easter and we are so excited to see them!










Getting all three boys to smile or even just look at the Camera was just not gonna happen.

As we enter Holy Week and are reflecting on our Savior's sacrifice and anticipating the resurrection, these are the lyrics that have been on my mind.

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

Now that we know what else came with that day I am glad to see that it was so special and fun. Especially loved Aiden and the spy glass.

Apple Creek

 A new year, a new orchard. This year we tried out Apple Creek Orchard and it was a really pretty place. We picked apples, took a hay ride, and the boys had fun with the apple slinger. We were joined by Tom's parents and it feels so good to have them now living close by instead of far away.

Almost to the finish line.

 It's hard to believe that Aiden turns 18 in one week and walks through graduation in just one month. After more than a decade of homeschooling, 2 years of PSEO, and no less than one million moments that I'll treasure forever, my oldest will be an adult and graduated. Great things are ahead for my boy!

Happy Birthday, Cade!

 My littlest is seven and it's hard  not to be sad. We couldn't be without him, and we're so glad he's ours.  At seven years old Cade loves to do what everyone else is doing. He will NOT play by himself, and maybe it's because he's used to having someone to entertain him all the time. He loves legos and soccer. He also loves to read. I am ALWAYS finding Cade trying to tackle reading a book he probably isn't quite ready for. Lately he's been trying to read The Hobbit. While he's able to read all the words, he just doesn't have the depth of understanding to read it independently quite yet. He LOVES Tom Sawyer so he was delighted to find an abridged version to read.  Cade makes up his own mind about things. He will NOT be bossed around. He holds his own, so I don't worry about his brothers pushing him over. Cade also won't be pushed over physically. He is one tough kid. If Cade is crying, I know he is actually hurt because he never cries ove...
