After church we had lunch at our house with some of Austin's family.

 

-Austin's dad, Kevin, his brother, Chase, and his fiance Krystle - which we are thrilled to announce! She is the sweetest, most precious girl and has been a blessing to us over the last year and a half. She loves on our kids, and they adore her!


We of course had an Easter egg hunt in the back yard- it was a beautiful day! My mother made this dress for me when I was Annelise's age- it's one of my favorites.

In April we journeyed to Merri Acres Farm for the 5th year in a row with 14 adults and 17 kids!! Wow! We had another year of homemade ice cream, bike riding, fish catching, porch swinging, truck-bed riding, campfire sitting, guitar singing, and cow watching fun!!

We have cows again in our fields! Yay! Here are all 17 kidos jumping in the truck to go see the cows and find the baby calves!

Here are the goofy dads (minus Kevin) who all grew out their whiskers prior to the weekend and then surprised us with silly mustaches and goatees - Ha!

I love this picture of Annelise that Austin captured down by the pond. We just can't get over that she has curly hair! I'm jealous!! ;)

Well, Caleb didn't catch a fish this year like lots did, but he really made good strides on his casting abilities!

lining up for some water fun!

Here are the moms- 4 of which are pregnant, adding 4 more to the bunch next year at the farm!!

We had another memorable year. Thank you to my family who work hard to keep it running so that we might enjoy this wonderful place. We are truly grateful!
