Family Camp 2014

Our favorite family vacation is family camp! This list is long on all the reasons we love family camp (see older posts on family camp for more details). For now here are a few photos from this year. Already looking forward to next year!

5 Already?!

I love old musicals and have often said that I wished my life was a musical. Jonah loves life and his life is a musical. He sings and dances about everything throughout the day. He has an excitement to him that is both contagious and inspiring.

This fall he turned 5. He was so excited! He had the chance to make a wish. He shared his wish out loud. Without batting an eye he said, "I wish Jesus would come today."

We celebrated with a breakfast of his choice, bowling (an outing he selected) and a sports themed party (that followed a couple days later). Birthdays are a holiday at our house and reason to take the day off from school and fill it with as much fun as possible.

 Even mom and dad bowled ;)

Party Time

Jonah is the energizer bunny and on any given day his little legs with do almost 18,000 steps (we know this because he wants to wear a pedometer many days). He is such a blessing to our family. We all love him to the moon and back. We are so thankful for Jonah.

Miracles of Mitch 2014 - Two Brothers One Goal

Two brothers with one goal. Raise $2000 for Miracles of Mitch Foundation racing for kids that cannot race themselves.This was Noah's second year racing and Jacobs first. It was a big goal. The results were better in so many ways than we could have ever predicted.

 Goldy was there to cheer!

 Fans are ready!

Transition spot is ready. Racing for Cody this year.

Time to get pumped up for the swim. Jacob was very nervous about his first tri. Big brother Noah showed us again just how compassionate he is. Noah volunteered to hang back and race with Jacob the entire race. I love his heart for others and I love the fact the boys could do this together. What a team. Praise God!

Let the swim begin....

On to the bike!

They finished the tri and exceeded their goal. Total raised $2140. Thank you to the many generous donations and the hearts of boys that love others and want to help them.
