a day in the park

Hershey Park had its big opening on Friday, May 2nd and we were able to go over and enjoy the park with our new season passes. It was so great. It was a beautiful day and not crowded at all. Plus, we didn't feel rushed to get on every ride because we can come back anytime. Jackson did fall and bite his cheek and there was a ton of blood, but he was fine after some ice and water. Enjoy these pics from the day...

Here is the measurement for the rides, Jackson is a
Miniature and Lizzie is finally a Hershey Kiss

Hannah is considered a

hand held infant :)Hannah was a little nervous to ride her horse

alone so Daddy hopped on to help her.

Quote of the Day: "Daddy, you hit me right in the bladder." Lizzie said as Joe was having a catch with her out front yesterday.

ben's friends

Sunday before my trip, we did the March of Dimes walk for babies in Philly. We walked for the team Ben's Friends. My nephew, Ben, was born premature and so we walk for his team. It is amazing to see him now. He is a typical 20 month old who happens to be as tall as my short almost 3 year old. He is so cute check out his Blog. Here are some pictures from our 6 MILE WALK!!!

Birthday Parties!!

So I am finally back on schedule after my "business trip" to Atlanta, GA for the Orange Conference. The video on this site is from last year, but you get the idea. It was amazing. Anyone who has been to a LIFE conference, it was similar to that, but for grown-ups. It was for kid Ministry and student Ministry leaders and had all types of breakout sessions and the main sessions were awesome with great music and speakers. Andy Stanley even made an appearance. I took away stuff for my work at church and stuff for my own life.

We had our April/May Birthday Party the weekend before I left and here are some of the pictures from that.
