This year has gone by quickly and many things have happened! Here is year in review post about the kids. I'll do a general review next!
Titus turned 7 years old in January and started 2nd grade this year when August came around. His birthday is Kansas Day(its almost here again!), so he got to dress up for school! He is a sweet, energetic boy. This past year, he graduated from his speech therapy that he was doing. He had an amazing speech teacher and he talks so well now! We are proud of his hard work and sweet spirit! He loves to help out his littlest brother and playing with him also! Legos are his thing right now, along with fishing (when he gets the chance), and shooting his daddy's BB gun. He is dreaming of his own. The first time he shot down a pigeon from the barn, he was flying high all. day. long!
We surprised him with a party after school with some aunts and cousins! So fun to have a surprise party for the birthday boy!
(Before)
Lillie turned 9 in March and started 4th grade in August. For her birthday, she took her cousin with her to get her hair cut short and then spend a day in town!
(after)
She got to try on dresses at Von Maur. So fancy =) She is growing up to be quite the young lady. She is a social bug and loves her friends and being with people. She is quick to make friends and is outgoing. This year she got to have a main part in the church Christmas play and she sure has a knack for that sort of thing! So proud of her! Not sure where she got her stage presence from cuz her daddy and I both cringe if we have to be front and center! But God blessed her with that and we love her for it! She also loves to do arts and crafts and can be found up in her room creating all sorts of things. She made a magnet board for me for Christmas and its so special!
Mommy, daughter picture!
Zethan turned the BIG 5 this year!
He celebrated with a donut tower cake in the morning. And then him and his best friend/cousin got to go bowling! Those two are two peas in a pod. Funny funny fellas! Zethan has much energy and sometimes doesn't know when to slow down! Some of his favorite things include: playing with his farm toys, legos, playing the ipad, and pretty much anything big brother is doing. He is always making us laugh and we love him to pieces! He started Kindergarten this year as well! Quite an adventure!
At the bowling alley!
Simon baby turned 2 years old in August. He started his morning off by meeting Papa and Aunt Tiffy at Drubers for some yummy donuts! (Do you sense a donut theme in this family??)
Then we got to play with all the cousins at a spray park! Perfect day for that!
He also got to celebrate with an ant cake at Grandma & Papa's house! Lucky boy! He is a sweet little guy and we can't imagine our lives without him! God blessed us with a special boy and he is always bringing a smile to everyone in the family! Except for when he destroys lego cities of course =) He got to start going to Sunday School this year when he turned 2 and quickly got used to going in and sitting down to do a puzzle or two to start. He picks up his little memory verses quickly and is ALWAYS talking. He has quite the vocabulary and we laugh at the phrases he uses that he has heard adults use and his cute little sayings that he says. He is growing up quickly and we treasure these sweet moments of his lingering babyhood.
We are so blessed to have these children and we pray God's wisdom to raise them. Some days are harder than others and we treasure the good days and know that the bad days too shall pass. It is all a part of this life and we hope to bring honor and glory to God each of the days.
