Nia's Birthday Bash

I wish I could claim that I made this totally cute cake but it was made by "Sugar Mama" She is here in Bloomington and oh my! Her cakes are FANTASTIC!!! SO good! If you live in the area check her out on Facebook. Yummmm!

I think she is enjoying it!

A little nervous about blowing out the candles.

Cheeeeeezzzzzz!

Time to open gifts!

I LOVE this picture! What a big girl!

Grant and Alex's School Program

Grant and Alex had an end of the year program called, "Gobble, Gobble, Moo." It was so cute! The pictures are pretty bad as the lighting in the gym is terrible but nonetheless, here are a few highlights!




Grant and Nia sitting on the big mower that was brought in. They love anything with wheels!
Daddy and Alex

Grant was a goose. It is hard to see but he has a goose on his head. :)

And, Alex was a chick. It was priceless! He was so nervous I don't think he sang but at least he didn't cry! He is in the yellow and blue striped shirt.

The Forgotten Initiative

I feel blessed to be a part of an awesome ministry that is being started here in Bloomington. Are you aware of the tremendous needs in the foster care world? I was not. My eyes have been opened!!! Check out the website at: theforgotteninitiative.org and see what it is all about! Wherever you live, regardless of the city or state you are in there are ways to get involved and follow through on God's command to care for the orphans and "the least of these." Too often we hear of sad stories and situations but the need seems so great and then we feel like we are too small to make any kind of difference, but that is a lie from Satan! Don't be passive, take action and let's show foster children, foster parents, agency workers and vulnerable adults that we as believers in Christ have not forgotten them and we want to serve them, love them and encourage them!

Daddy's turn. He looks worried. He went SO fast it was HILARIOUS! Then I went. No pics of that but it was fun! Who are the adults here?

Watch out!


Motorcycles are not just for boys!
