Happy Birthday, Mason!

I can't believe that 9 years ago we were welcoming our first child into the world. Wow, the time has flown by! Being a new parent was so exciting and scary at the same time. 

Mason, your Dad and I are overwhelmed by the blessing that you are to us. You are smart, helpful, giving, and funny. God is so good to have blessed us with such a wonderful boy! We love you so much! 

In honor of Mason here is a look back over the last 9 years.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter Everyone! He is risen! 

We had a nice Easter weekend. Saturday we had an Easter outreach at church and then today we went to church and then to our friends house for lunch and an egg hunt. 

Chloe, Samuel, Kenzie, and Mason post-egg hunting. We had to instruct to older kids to leave the easy ones for Samuel. :) 

I had some issues getting the kids to take pictures this morning before church, especially pictures together. Heaven forbid that they would have to sit close or worse yet put their arms around each other! So, these are the best I could get...

After 5 years living in Hawaii we've become pretty casual, even on Easter Sunday.  :)
