Catch up: Spring Break 2014

What a crazy month it has been!  I haven't had time to post, but I'm going to try to catch up.  We moved out of our house and into an apartment on April 15--that has kept us busy.  

Lane had a vacation week the same time as the kids' spring break back in March so we made another U-Haul trip to our new place in MO.  We left Monday morning in three vehicles:  the moving truck, my car and Lane's parents' car.  His parents made the trip with us to see the new house for the first time, then we all went back to Flippin to spend a few days at the river.  
Bobba & Grammy's first visit!  So glad you came with us!

The weather was chilly and the water was high, but we still loved our time together and away from the daily routine.  The cold didn't seem to bother the kids--they played outside anyway.

They are growing up too fast.  They've all changed so much lately.

We also celebrated Crosby's birthday while we were there--he had a lot of fun!  We built a campfire to roast hot dogs and marshmallows, and my Mom and Grandparents joined us for dinner and cake (Dad was out of town--we missed him!)
 There is something so relaxing about sitting by a fire.  
 Happy 5th Birthday, Crosby Grant.  You are JOY every day!  We love you so very very much!
 With Grandparents and Great-Grandparents
Thank you, Mo, for making the delicious red velvet cake (C's request!)
 FIVE...Cannot believe it.
Crosby, you are sweet, smart, energetic, thoughtful and have such a fun sense of humor.  You love dressing up in super-hero costumes, playing fire-fighters, building Legos, playing with cars/motorcycles/helicopters/bulldozers, kicking a soccer ball, watching Power Rangers and eating granola bars.  You like to do things to make us all laugh, which we love.  You have always been such an easy, happy, joyful child.  What a blessing you are to us!

Building forts, playing games and hanging out with Bogart.  :)
 Fresh homemade bread that Grandmother brought to C's birthday dinner.  YUM!
 So proud of his new tow truck!
 We enjoyed the time spent with my Grandparents--always so nice to get to visit with them.
We went to dinner at Yoshi's on Wednesday night--the kids love eating there.  The waiters sang and brought C a piece of birthday cheesecake.
Truly blessed.
