Spring

 I know, I know, I haven't posted for a long time! You have to leave a comment and remind me!

  

           " I've always loved robins. Now, you boys out in radio land, don't shoot at my birds.

You see, they're--they're--they're... Them's my birds. Did you ever hear the legend of the robin, how he got his red breast? I'll stop here a moment. How he got his red breast... There was the King of kings was dying one day on the Cross, and He was suffering and no one would come to Him. He had no one to help Him. And there was a little brown bird wanted to take them nails out of the Cross, and he kept flying into the Cross and jerking on those nails. He was too little to pull them out, and he got his little breast all red with blood. And ever since then his breast has been red. Don't shoot him, boys. Let him alone."

Springtime is one of my favorite seasons.  Every thing goes form being brown to pretty beautiful colors!:D





Our neighbor took down a silo. 

Benjamin loves to be outside!

Benjamin loves to throw the ball for Sergeant, even if it just goes two feet:D

Theodore is about 15 years old.

Hopefully you are having a wonderful Spring too!

Another Fun Bunch

Bro. Sheldon and Sis. Sharon (Justin's uncle and aunt from AZ) came to our house on Thursday morning. 

Justin and Kaitlyn came back from their honeymoon that afternoon.

 

We enjoyed watching them open their wedding presents. 



It was pretty cool how the Amish wrapped their presents.  They never give an empty container.  For instance if it is brand new Tupperware they will fill it with pretzels, party mix, cookies, etc.



A friend carved a wooden brainteaser game and Bro. Sheldon was trying to figure out!


Someone gave them money in the shape of a swan.  Pretty cool!

 

Hope and Shalom

 

Benjamin and David had fun wrestling Joseph 



Eunice is very good at crocheting.

 Their Wonderful Family

 

We are taking all of Kaitlyn's stuff out to Arizona by airplane.  However, there was a few things that wouldn't fly well that Sheldon's family was able to take on their journey home to AZ.

 When they left on Friday they were heading  to Indiana for Creations.

On Sunday Justin and Kaitlyn came to church with us and Kaitlyn said her good byes. 

 Monday afternoon they flew to Arizona to their new home together.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Weekend Celebration Continues...

After the wedding we came back to our house and played games with our guests. 

 Unfortunately, on Sunday morning a lot had to leave to go home. 

 After church we had reserved a room at a restaurant for fellowship.

  Julianna was staying at our house over the wedding weekend.

We found out that it was her 17th birthday on Monday so we rented

 the volleyball barn for all the young people and their families as a surprise.

The volleyball barn was actually where we had Kaitlyn's bridal shower. 

Mary, Zoe, Julianna, Joanna, and Katrina

 

Benjamin had a very good babysitter. Thank you Uncle John!

 

 

I know this pic is blurry but the ball is going for the camera and everyone is like "OH NO!
