Today is Gabby's birthday! She turns 9 years old and is such a sweetheart. She is a friend to all and especially loves her grandparents and cousins. Gabby is a sensitive soul and can read emotions from people well. She wants everyone to be happy! She loves to sing and tumble and dance. She likes school and is really good at math and spelling. She has a bit of a sweet tooth and may turn into a gobstopper someday. We love our Gabby girl and are grateful she came to our family. Happy birthday Gabs!

The last semester of the school year was so busy, my pictures are all out of order! These pictures were from Spring Break when we took the kids ice skating in Phoenix. It was a blast and everyone improved so much from start to finish.

Carter made it into the school spelling bee in 5th grade by winning her class spelling bee. She did really well and got 4th place! All the participants received a ribbon and a bee-shaped pin.

You could barely see her over the podium :) but she was calm and thoughtful before each answer. Good job Carter!

I always know how much fun they had by the amount of dirt on Nate's face.
