Mother's Day 2012

Devin called us late Sunday night, which was early afternoon Monday for him.  He and his companion are doing great and loving being super busy being responsible for both a small branch and a group that meets about 20 mins away by bus.  He looks great and we are sure excited to see him in just a few weeks!

Soccer Mohawk

The soccer season has come to a close.  This team went into districts as a higher seed than they ever have previously, so they felt excited about that.  Keith told Eric he's in the best shape right now that he'll ever be in.  That got Eric a little worried that it's all downhill from here, so he's formulating plans to help keep him in fightin' shape.

The Big 1-8

Eric, Drew Brownell, Ammon Kaopua, Adrew Peebles, Andre Stegner

And he certainly looks happy about it!  These guys celebrated by dueling each other with real light up light sabers in the back yard, eating pizza and cake and watching the movie Get Smart.  It was our first party in the north wing, yeah!  Then there was some serious chat about college life coming up next year for all of them but Drew.  Graduation is just around the corner, then a full Summer, and they're off!

Eric's Senior Prom

Cute!

As if pinning the boutenneire isn't tricky enough, Lucy's dad added

an extra element of fun by shooting off fireworks...

Just to be helpful!  Ha ha!  I think he was hoping Lucy would

stab Eric with the sharp pin just to keep him in line!

I think they're over it.

Dinner was in Bellingham at Gepeddos, then Genevieve Elton took pictures by the Bellweather Hotel.  They lucked out and had a beautiful and fairly warm evening.

Then it was on to the dance at Whatcom Community College.

Voted Prom King!  He wears the crown well, don't you think?

Welcome Spring!

Well, now Spring is officially welcome in Wisconsin.  Hopefully here too!

Easter in Wisconsin...

Easter!

I have been so excited for Spring this year, and for Easter.  All the soft pretty colors just say good bye rainy dreary days, hello sunshine!  Pinterest inspired me to try making a few decorations.

We enjoyed having family here for Easter Dinner.  I didn't take great pictures, but you get the idea!

Thanks for the cute note Diana!  We love you too!

Easter morning, not much competion for the Easter Candy!  But hunt goes on anyway!

Happy Easter!

By the way, Devin got his Easter package and raved about the chocolate.  Hoorya, it didn't melt before he got to it!
