Cassidy's Baptism

And an Easter picture I found of me and my kiddos!  (Aren't they precious?)  

Okay.  Cassidy was baptized.  I love the picture below....I would guess Kyler is having a moment, Cassidy is O-U-T, and Colton, smiling cute as can be.

Okay, this is better.

Cassidy's Godparents were Brook Luedke and Blaine Luedke.

Proud grandparents Kent and Barb Luedke.

Other proud grandparents Jerry and Carol Boos.

The Great-Grandparents: Richard and Darlyne Johnson and Bud and Pat Boos.

And the girl of the day, Cassidy!

Isn't Kyler sweet?

The Luedke girls!

She's ornery too.....

BFF's.

Easter.

Yes, Easter.  We're a little outdated...but better late than never.  

Connor had fun hanging out with Uncle Carl in her fancy swimming hat!

Having some fun in the grass...

I love the picture on the left.  It's her "Are you talking to me?" pose...

Got to chill with Grandpa Jerry

Trying to get a picture of those eyelashes...

A little kid-pose on Easter...I had one picture with Jace dressed up too, and some family pictures, but didn't realize until we had all changed that there was no card in my camera.  Womp womp....

This little stinker...tired, fighting sleep, Uncle Jay asks to hold her and boom, right to sleep.

Family photo!

One of the benefits of being the only kid that knows what an Easter egg hunt is: a HUGE sack of goodies.  But, then you have to race Dad to get some of them...

Sibling cuties!

A Mom-Dot pose, since brother didn't want to participate.

They LOVE each other! 

 In conjunction with Easter, we celebrated George and Erma's 60th Wedding anniversary.

All of their great-grandkids (so far.....) Jace, age 4, Connor, 7 months, and Mark, 11 months.

The whole family!

As you can see, it's hard to get a good picture of everyone. 

And some after-Easter fun...finger painting!

And as usual, sis just enjoys watching!

May Catch-Up Part 2...

Me: Be careful with Connor.

Jace: I'm just hugging her!

Jace gave Connor this tiger "Tig-ee" to play with while she was sitting on the floor and I was getting some things done.  Before I knew it, she was kind of propped up on it, sitting up sleeping! 

I forget what he called this face...but wow.

Mother's day was an exciting morning!  Jed and Jace got up to go turkey hunting and heard some from our house...they had this one down and were back at the house by 6:30!  Not the one Jed was after, but Jace was beyond excited!

 LAST DAY OF PRESCHOOL!

After I got pictures of Jace and Connor, Jace wanted to take a picture of me and Connor!  Not too bad Jace!

A picture with cousin Kyler!

A comparison of his first day in September, and last day in May!

 This was my attempt at getting a picture of them together...

 

And after his last day of school, he was going to go scout crops with Jed.  Luckily he got a great hat at school to wear while they went to work!

May Catch-Up Part 1...

We busted out one of Connor's Christmas presents....not sure who is having more fun here. Colton was playing with it too, but ran away when he saw the camera come out!  Jace "gets her ready" every morning now.  And every night....

Our corn is up!

 

 This is pretty much every morning in our house...if Connor doesn't help wake Jace up, he wants to know where she is and wants to say good morning to her.

 

They had a "Flower Party" at Barb's.  Everyone got to bring home their own flower and "watering can" a.k.a. small water bottle.  They ate flowers (cookies), planted flowers, colored flowers, and made flowers out of construction paper.

 

Random cute bow picture...

 

Have I mentioned the belt I got Jace at the flea market with his name on it?  Best-$15-EVER.  He loves it.  Finally has somewhere to put his pliers!

 

Kyler trying on her flower girl dress...so far she has refused to let anyone see her in it...the wedding should be interesting....

 

Need some more pictures like this!  Aunt Jennifer with Connor (7 months) and Cassidy (5 months).

 

Big enough to sit in the shopping cart!  Opening up a whole new world for this girl! 

 

And....more swimming lessons.  Jace and Kyler get done first...so they were waiting on Colton.

 

I took them to Subway to eat afterwards, and Kyler and Colton hadn't ever been there.  I got them all kids meals.  Then went back and got Colton another 6 inch.  Wow.

7 Months

This cutie pie turned 7 months at the end of April.  She is an expert sitter-upper....but no interest in crawling yet!  (Jace was crawling at 7 months!)

A few videos...
