Joel’s 3rd Birthday

We celebrated Joel’s birthday two weeks late, since we were at camp during his birthday.  He loves animals right now, so we decided to go with a jungle theme.

Opening presents from Oma & Opa (King) on the webcam.  Isn’t modern technology great!joelbday10joelbday11

The cake picture is made from rice paper, so it is edible.  Stephen’s mom ordered this from England for us.joelbday01joelbday02joelbday03joelbday04

Summertime Fun

The week after the Musical Mission Team was here, the Matthias and McKenzies were both gone for a family reunion.  We set up a pool Stephen had bought in the Matthia’s yard, and let the boys enjoy the warm weather in the water.  They also just enjoyed being able to run around with lots of space in the Matthia’s yard.
