Gil

 Sometimes (most of the time) I forget our birthdays.  This year John and Carolyn came up and brought a cake.  Gil got a new pair of Jordan 11s and Jude is almost as tall as grandpa!

Thomas turns 8 and is in the 2nd grade!

 Thomas turned 8 and is in my class!  We got to celebrate at school with popsicles and a glow stick party.  He also had Sawyer and Connor over for a sleepover (Nolan couldn't make it).  He is such a happy, fun, sweet boy and I'm so glad I get to see him grow in the classroom this year 💗.  He got a bebe gun and a new spider swing!

Cora Clare-14 and on to high school!

Cora also got confirmed shortly before her birthday.  It was a beautiful day!

 Cora had a Lake/Camper party this year.  I took her and a few friends up to the Lake in Yankton and then they came over for burgers and a sleepover in the camper.  So fun!  

Jude is licensed...16!

Had a great year of track placing many times in the 1 and 2 mile.

Got inducted into the National Honor Society.

Won many academic awards (most!)

Became new Vice President for FFA

Did a great job and State Science Fair (white mold project)

Easter birthday time!

Watch out on the road!

 Jude's birthday fell on Good Friday this year.  We got to celebrate altogether!  We went to see The Minecraft Movie at the mall and then headed to Pizza Ranch...yum!  The next day John and Carolyn came up for lunch and had birthday cake with us.  16 is hitting me hard right now!  He got some Lego mini figs for his attic medieval set and a Nike Elite basketball backpack full of goodies.
