Mother's Day

Josiah's world view

Josiah has figured out how to turn on the camera so I often find photos he has taken without me knowing. Here's a glimpse of what life looks like from a 3 year olds perspective. Hilarious! Reminds me of Rainman.

Good Job Maicee!

Proud Grandpa and Dad

Maicee has decided karate is her thing. She's been going regularly for just a few months but was already up for earning her next belt. This was her first belt test. She had to count to ten in Japanese, tie her belt correctly, perform the Fuku Gota Ichi kata and spar other white belts. The following class she found out she passed and was presented her yellow belt by Sensei Peoples and Sensei Mike :) We are very proud of her and excited she's decided to follow in the Peoples family footsteps and learn karate.

Boy Stuff

Josiah got drums for his birthday from us and Grandpa Jr. and Grammy Sana. Yes it's loud but he LOVES them. He practices often and is learning to love all things musical. He also "helps" Daddy whenever he can. Mowing took twice as long but Josiah felt so accomplished when they were done.

Beautiful!

The happy couple - YEA!!

We just returned from the most beautiful wedding! Emily and Ben were married on Saturday. Michael officiated the service and did a great job. Sadie, Gentry and myself were bridesmaids and I made the cake. It was a family effort and was just perfect. Here are just a few pics I got inbetween decorating, chasing kids, primping, and brides-maid-ing Em. I will post the link to her photographer's website when her pictures are ready.

Turkey Season

Michael got his first turkey with a bow in our very own backyard the other morning. The Tom had been taunting him by struting and drumming in the street and in our neighbors yard several days in a row. He finally wondered into our backyard. Too bad for him.

Daffodil Hill

We spent the afternoon at Daffodil hill a few weeks ago. It was beautiful.
