Random pics from the last few weeks.

They thoroughly enjoyed it!

Kenny and I built a fire station complete with ambulance and fire trucks.  He even had lego firefighters to go in it! :)

Wisconsin Trip

This past week Luke, Molly, AJ, and I were able to go up to the Sikma's for the Victory Conference.

Enjoyed the time we were able to spend with them!

The conference was great, the week was packed, but wonderful.

Playing instruments after church one night was so much fun!

We had an amazing time, thank you so much guys!

Skating in Chicago

We had an amazing time this past Saturday with a last minute ice skating party with the Nymeyers and Sikmas!

Here are some pics to document the event! :)

Getting ready for the picture may take longer than taking it. :)

 An amazing group of friends!

Our wonderful mothers!

 Everyone was getting so warm while ice skating that coats were coming off... if you look closely you will see a tired little boy among the coats. :)

 Brent and AJ trying to pull off the serious look...

 That's better!

As you can see we were having a great time!

Some were better at ice skating than others.

 After ice skating we grabbed lunch nearby and proceeded to play games.

I think we all enjoyed it very much and look forward to getting together again!

Florida!

Last week my friend Breanna and I were able to go down to Florida to look at a college as well as see Kaity and her family. We enjoyed the trip very much!

I think Mom was slightly jealous that I was able to see Lindsay first. :)

While we were down there Brent took us to the National Naval Aviation Museum. 

A-7 Corsair II  We personally thought it looked like it was singing. :)

By the end of our week there Abbie had a new favorite. :)

The engine cutaways were so cool!

Brent also took us to see Fort Barrancas. It was pretty amazing!

We stayed in the dorms a couple of the nights we were down there. We were able to attend classes as well as meet several students.

We also had the opportunity to attend the Fine Arts program.

We had so much fun and enjoyed the play very much!

 My amazing sister and her family took us to the beach... it was fantastic!

 I love these little goofs!

We both decided we already want to go back. ;) 

Thanks for putting up with us for the week.

We enjoyed every minute of it!
