Carson turns 9

Carson had a baseball game on his birthday, and they won! That's a nice present. Birthday cinnamon rolls to share with the team after the game.

At home ready to open some presents...

Some of Carson's presents: a book about the moon, a Pokemon game, the Percy Jackson movie, peanut butter, and fruit snacks!

The Grimms

Matt's family came over for Mother's Day which was also his mother Barbara's birthday. His sister Andrea and brother John were also there so we took a family picture of the 5 of them.

Madeline turns 15

Our sweet Madeline turned 15. She is such a beautiful girl inside and out! She has a great sense of humor too :)

Family dinner at Olive Garden to celebrate- yum!

Madeline in action

Here are a few shots of Madeline in action with her soccer team, MRFC Elite, this spring:

She has an awesome corner kick!

Easter

The weather on Easter was on and off rainy, so we were lucky to get a sunny break right after church so the Easter Bunny could scatter some eggs. Here are the kids ready to go...

Looking for eggs...

Everyone got a bucketful of goodies

Dad and Madeline being silly

Hayden turns 13

This is Hayden a few days after turning 13 celebrating with ice cream sandwiches. He didn't want a cake or a party this year. He's too cool! This was the day of his birthday (and before getting a haircut), he got new shoes that look like candy corn.

A teenager at last!

Science Fair

Zoe and her friend Hannah did their 5th grade science fair project on which fruit juice has the most vitamin C. Their display was cute and they got a perfect score! (By the way, the answer is pineapple juice, not orange juice like you might think)
