Happy Anniversary

Levi and I's 7th Anniversary is coming up, so I thought I would post some pictures of us.  I am so lucky to have this man as a part of my life.  Every day is better just because he loves me.  He makes me want to be better than I think I can be.  He makes me feel good about myself and my efforts to be a good wife and mother and housekeeper and  cook.  I just want him to know how much I love him and how grateful I am that he picked me to be his eternal companion.  I love you Babe!!!!!

 

Levi and the Kids

Just a few fun pictures of Levi playing with the kids.

May 20 Solar Eclipse

This is a picture of the solar eclipse that we got from our house.  From our angle this was the most covered it  got, but it was pretty neat to watch through our welders helmet.

Avrie's Blessing

These pictures are from Avrie's blessing.  Levi's sister Mandy took some more, but I don't have copies of them yet.  When I do, I will add them on here.

It's been a while...

I know it's been a while since I updated anything on here (sorry Jas).  I put several new posts up about what we have been doing.  I tried to keep them pretty short so it wouldn't take too long to get a feel for what we have been up to.  Scroll down and enjoy catching up with us.

Easter

We did a small Easter egg hunt at the park with some friends this year for our kids.  It was so fun to watch the kids running around looking for the eggs.  Levi and Clay had hidden some up high that Michael really had to work to get.

Small Zoo Trip

 One Saturday this spring we went with a bunch of our friends to a small zoo near town.  It was a lot more fun than we thought it was going to be.  We had buckets of food to take around and feed to the animals.  The kids loved that. It was a fun day and worth the small cost.

Below is a picture of Levi feeding the ostrich and below that is a picture of Levi feeding the camel.  Levi has a carrot in his mouth that he is feeding to him.

 Here are all of the kids with the camel.  He's about half grown by the way.

 There is also a lot of interesting folk art at this little zoo and tourist stop.  They had a jeep who's body had been entirely covered with license plates.  All the wheels and seats had been made out of old tools that were welded together.  It was pretty cool looking.  Below is all the kids in the jeep.  They're more interested in playing than sitting still and looking cute for a picture.

 Here are all the boys sitting in a rock that was carved into a chair.  The seat had been polished and it was actually fairly comfortable.
