Spring Break 2017 Washington DC...

We had a wonderful Spring Break in Washington D.C. a couple of weeks ago!  We packed in as much as we possibly could!
Night one Justin and Colten went to a NBA game and had a great time!  Colten LOVES the NBA and Justin said it really showed at the game!  We landed at about lunch time so by the time we got checked into the hotel and ate lunch it was late afternoon. We explored the area around the hotel and the girls and I went to a mall (it was FREEZING outside) while the boys hit the game up!


Day two was packed with tours! Unfortunately the White House Tour was canceled due to a security breach.



Day three and four were spent in Maryland visiting some good friends. It was so wonderful to see them all again.  We hit a WONDERFUL children's museum and had a great lunch in Baltimore.  Colten stayed back with his friend and they had some quality time together.  We also attended a couple of Maryland baseball games which was fun and different!













Day 5 was full of exploring on our own. We loved getting to see the white house! It was a fun day walking around to the different monuments.





They loved finding Kansas things!












Day 6 we hit the capital! It was fun to see it all in person!







We also got to hit up the air and space museum as one last thing before heading home. I hope we built some memories to last a life time.  We feel truly blessed that we got to enjoy some time as a family before the craziness that life is throwing at us this spring hits!








Grandkids...

This one made my heart happy so I had to share!

Volleyball Clinic...

Aubrey completed her first ever volleyball clinic a couple of weeks ago and I think it is safe to say she is hooked. She had lots of fun and looks forward to playing on a team this fall!


Grandparents Day...

The kids had a ball at Grandparent's day again this year. They love it when their Grandma's get to come to the school and see a glimpse into their daily activities.








Young Man...

This kid has changed so much the past few months! He has truly gone from a little boy to a young man.  I think of the 2lbs15ozs he started at and it brings tears to my eyes.  To see how much he has changed mentally, physically, and emotionally makes me so proud.  He loves life and has great passion and determination in everything he does. We are so blessed to call him ours!
