Jessica turned 15. She had a party the day after her real birthday and invited over 30 friends. Our house was full. We had dinner and games and a scavenger hunt for them. It was quite a riveting evening. She had a great time and felt so special. Love this girl. Can't believe she's growing up so quickly.
I splurged and got her a guitar for her birthday. It cost a bit more than I should have spent, but hopefully, it will be worth it.
Lily turned 11. Since we were inundated with funerals and then end of year events during her real birthday, we celebrated with her friends in June at the Jumpoline park. Lily's greatest accomplishment was getting an aerial on running tramp. Can't believe this girl is going to Middle School next year. She is sweet, patient with Ammon, attentive, organized, funny, a great friend and so smart! Love her so much.
Gavin turned 9. Not to be outdone, we had a party at Rock N River with a couple of friends from church. Tyler, Brandon and Edward showed up. He had a good time in the water and sun all day.

Lily's actual birthday. It was not quite as exciting as she had hoped. I did my best for just trying to keep things together that month. We were at Camp Champions the weekend before for girl scout camp.

Skit night. They stole the show. Lily is quite the performer. So funny! You should see her Miranda Sings impression. So funny. Unfortunately, it was so good I forgot to record it.

A little birthday celebration. Lighting candles in the outdoor wind is hard.

Jessica at GAHSMTA. Cats won the best choreography and best costumes. They deserved it.

Happy Mother's day to me. Just a quick celebration among so many others.
Easter time! Let's get us some eggs!
The hunt is on. I'm glad we were able to do something. Life was so hectic!

Someone fell asleep before the day was done. He was sleeping in my chair.
Never too old for egg hunting!
It's a Marcano tradition!
Lily didn't want her picture taken
Celebrating Ammon's birthday at Chikfila
The real day was on a Sunday. Ammon is 5! Yikes! He was so happy to have a birthday. Maybe we'll do a party next year.
