Lots & lots of pictures!

We have just returned from our trip to Alabama! Christine's brother, Gabe, was married on the beach. We decided to make a long weekend out of it & have some extra fun! I have tons of pictures & believe or not...this is the smallest group I could put together!

We arrived pretty late on Thursday night & the next morning we headed to the beach. Kenny was so excited to play in the water!

John had fun too...chilling in his Bumbo!

John also joined Ken for a little fun in the water.

And here is one of the boys hanging out together in the sand!

On Saturday morning, we had some time to kill before the wedding...so we took a tour of the USS Alabama. Here is a picture from the top deck...

Here is a picture of Kenny, Christine & John below deck. This was the sleeping quarters! Can you imagine sleeping on one of these bunks while out to sea??


And here are a couple of the boys in their sailor hats!

And now onto the wedding pictures! Gabe & Diane were married right on the beach. The weather was absolutely perfect & the ceremony was beautiful! Here they are exchanging their vows...

And then the groom kisses his bride...

Later on at the reception, Gabe shared a dance with mom...

And, as you can see, John had way too much fun...


We had so much fun & were so glad we could share such a special day with Gabe & Diane!

Baptism pics

John was baptized this past weekend! He was such a good boy! No tears, just a little look of shock when the water hit his head. It was nice to return to Gethsemane to have Pastor Sievers baptize where we were married!

Here is a pic of John & his godparents--Michael & Karen...


I also wanted to share a picture of the 4 of us with Pastor Sievers...


Another pic of John & Pastor Sievers alone...


I also wanted to share a picture of the beautiful cake that Karen got...it was yummy too!


John had a very big day! We are so glad that so many of our friends & family members were able to be there to celebrate with him!

Happy Easter!

We wanted to share a few pics from Easter.
Here is one of Ken & the boys...Saturday night before church.


Then on Sunday, we had family over for lunch. Here is a pic of John in his bunny-hat...


And another one with bunny ears...doesn't he looked thrilled??


Kenny also had a good time hunting for Easter eggs...

It was pretty cold...but John had a good time too!
