Father’s Day

We enjoyed celebrating the fathers we know on Father’s Day!

It was an even more special day because Aspen Praise was dedicated to the Lord in church that morning!

I love how River (who was supposed to be with me!) followed his Daddy and Mama up front and just stood there quietly the whole time!

He’s a heart breaker!!

We all, including David’s family, headed to the farm after church to enjoy a yummy meal that Kayla made!

We LOVE being with David’s family!

Even when I do not take hardly any photos of our time together – good grief.

I was too busy enjoying visiting!!

After David’s family headed home we stayed, relaxed, and chatted all afternoon.

Being at the farm is my FAVORITE!!

It is so hard to leave!!

Addie Mae was at a wedding that day, but she eventually was able to join us!

I’m glad I made all these kiddos and their Dad stand up for this photo!

Mr. Blake Moschel, you are an amazing father to our quiver full.

We are so thankful for you and for all you do!!

We love celebrating you so much!

We love celebrating David too – another amazing father we know!!

It is not lost on me how amazingly blessed we are in the son-in-law department!

That guy is a KEEPER!!

Happy, happy Father’s Day to our guys!!

WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH, BLAKE AND DAVID!!

The Blue Angels

The Blue Angels were here!!

It’s been awhile since they have been here, but we love to go and watch them.

We had passes for three cars to go this year – so we filled three cars and headed out for a fun Sunday afternoon!

Tate is back there in this photo!

It was perfect weather for an air show!!

We had lunch while we waited for it to start.

SO thankful we brought ear plugs!!

And thankful we brought Tate’s even better ear protection – because the shunt in his head makes everything much louder for him.

The planes were simply amazing.

So amazing!!

It was a very fun afternoon!

It was hot, so we came home afterward for dinner and a swim!!

My wonderful hubby planned this day!

Thanks, babe, for the fun day!!

We appreciate all you do for us!!

I love watching the kiddos enjoy things like this!

Blue Angels, you were amazing!!

Can’t wait till next time!!

River Salem Turns Four

It’s true.

Our Rivy boy is already four years old!

His birthday was on June 4th!

He is our blond, blue-eyed boy who lives life with so much enthusiasm!!

He brings us so much joy!!!

His birthday party was on the farm with family, friends, good food, and lots of fun!!

Lane loved helping his nephew build his new Legos, and now River counts on Lane for Lego repairs.

So cute!

I wish I could insert right here the video message that River sent to Addie Mae to tell her what kind of cake he wanted!

It was VERY specific and the cutest video EVER!

Addie did not disappoint!

It was a fun Sunday on the farm!

Celebrating our Rivy!!

I wonder how much longer he will let me call him Rivy??

Hanging on tight – they are growing so fast!

We have a cute Chinese Cherub here who is going to be TEN years old in just a few weeks.

SOB.

Happy, happy birthday, River Salem!

WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Team Tate Once Again

Team Tate is headed back to UW Madison today for a full day of appointments including a sedated procedure to check on Tate’s bladder.

These appointments are routine, but the day will still be long!

Prayers appreciated for travel mercies, peace, ease in sedation, and strength.

As I prepared my heart for this day, I couldn’t be anything but thankful that we get to be the ones at Tate’s side today!

It’s such a privilege!

We are so blessed!!

Team Tate, let’s do this!!
