Two new birthdays!

Papa (my dad) celebrated his 60th birthday on the 16th. We had them and my brother's family over for dinner and cake. He had some help blowing out the candles, but didn't seem to mind.

My friend Missy also had a baby on the 18th. Colton was 6 pounds and 12 ounces and was 19" long. We waited for a long time to meet this sweet boy, and what a blessing he is.

Kyler's Week at Vacation Bible School

Kyler had a good week last week at vacation bible school. The theme was western, and she made a cowboy hat, a vest, and a craft to go around her bandana. She had a good time, and learned a lot of things. She ended the week with a singing program and then had a photo session afterward. Here are some of the poses with Kyler, Kennedie and Katherine both of who had come to watch Kyler sing.

Chad's first triathlon

We traveled to Manhattan today to see Chad compete in his first triathlon. He did very well, and attained the personal goal that he had set for himself. We were proud to see Daddy do so well for his first race like this one. Kyler even managed to have some of her own fun while waiting for Chad to come back each time. It was hard to explain if Daddy "winned" or not! We told her it's not all about winning, it's about having fun and enjoying it of which Chad did both.
