Sweet SK


This girl loves some watermelon!


She loves cake too!



She loves to play in the sand and mud

On Wednesday, SK woke up from nap with a fever of 103.8.  It continued for 48 hours and then we took her back to the doctor.  She was sent to the ER with a white blood cell count of 30,000.  After many tests, they found she has an UTI.  Phew!  We were really worried and are so grateful for all of our family and friends who offered support and kind words and prayers.  We are truly blessed!

She claps to the song "If You're Happy and You Know It"



Stomps her feet, 

and says "Hooray" at the end with arms up stretched!









Landon is 5 years old!!

This sweet boy is growing up so fast!  He Loves to laugh, read, play Legos, karate, and LOVES his family. 

These two kidos love each other very much.  As SK gets older and more capable, they play with one another.




Landon LOVES his karate class.  They are learning important skills not only physically, but also socially, emotionally, and behaviorally.  Landon has earned his Focus badge and is now working on his Respect Badge.  Though he does loose focus at times, we can remind him about this skill and reward and he quickly pays attention.


This lamb lily is till his beloved and he carries it with him most places.  She rides on his bike handles and sits at the table next to him while he eats.  


LEGO Ninjago is a favorite in our house.  He loves to watch the show and build and play with his Lego sets.  


Oh how quickly the years pass!!!

My best friend!

My 5 year old walking buddy!


To bed as a 4 year old,
 awake and playing Legos as a 5 year old!
