End of the year....

 
Proud Mom Alert!  I have lots to share as it's been a very busy Spring. 
 
 
 AWANA awards night.  Of all the things the kids have accomplished this year, these are the awards that I am most thankful for.  They have spent many hours learning verses and completing projects.  I know having that knowledge of the bible and the word of God in their hearts is going to take them far!
 Celebrating with our neighbor Austin at the reception after an awesome Yankton Children's Choir Spring concert!

 Mother's Day 2013.  I am blessed!
 
 Lauren and Jillian with their piano teacher Muriel.  We loved hearing them play at their recital.
They also earned blue ribbon superior ratings at our local piano contest this past Spring.

Disney World Trip

 We took an amazing family vacation to Walt Disney World back in February.  It was a wonderful trip with so many memories and good times!   Here we are getting ready to ride the "Tower of Terror" 
 Having fun in "Mexico" at Epcot
 
 Owen completed Jedi Training.  He is officially obsessed with Star Wars!
 
 Enjoyed lots of 3-D shows.  Disney does it all so well!
 
 
 Another beautiful day.  Getting ready to attack Epcot!
 
 
 We stayed at the Disney Hotel "Art of Animation"  Loved it!
 
 
 The shows at Hollywood Studios were amazing! 
 
Had time to spend one full day by the pool.  Weather was perfect!
 
Everyone that goes to Magic Kingdom has a picture in the Tea Cups:) There was a huge downpour about 4:30 the afternoon we were at MK.  It ended up working out great, because it cleared out tons of people and allowed us to ride just about every ride with no lines.  We were soaked but it was well worth it!
