Crane's Apple Orchard

This weekend our small group from church (minus the Lappenga family, we missed you guys) headed to Crane's for some much needed apples, doughnuts and cider. We had so much fun and it was a beautiful day!
Taking a much needed break for doughnuts and cider and a cidercicle. It was 80 out that day!

Mason and Sam were busy deciding if we should get some golden delicious apples.


The kids had a blast sampling the apples. They all get along so well and it goes really well considering there are normally 9 kids.

IT IS OFFICIAL WE HAVE A SIX YEAR OLD

I can't believe my little boy is now officially six. To think that six years ago we were in the hospital holding this little peanut not having a clue what we were doing (not that we really do now) and now I can't believe what a wonderful boy he has become. God has truly blessed
Derek and I when he gave us Mason. The official Star Wars birthday cake. Just wait Mom's your boys will be into it too!

Mason' "Papa" being a great sport and being the target for the "Pie in the eye" game. The kids thought it was the best game ever!

Our Family

Derek and I were married in 2002, and shortly following came our wonderful son Mason. Two years later we were blessed with our beautiful daughter, Peyton. Derek works in the excavating field and I am fortunate enough to be a stay at home mom. I just recently decided to quit working my part-time job and I am very excited for my time at home with my family.

About a year ago we began attending Providence church and feel God in our lives like we never have before. We are super busy now that school has started. Mason is now officially in Kindergarten at Blue Star Elementary and Peyton has begun three-school at South Side Christian. We are super excited for what this school year has to bring.
