Hudson is Five

What a smile!

On the Birthday boy!

Mr. Big Five. 

He said, "How can this be? 

I am FIVE!" 

Fun and surprises.

Perhaps he has a secret?

(Or should I say Spidey has a secret?)

He knows what to do 

with a favorite shake!

Always something changing 

around this household.

Brothers are always close by for the festivities.

 Well, we know that this mom and dad 

know the secret identity of this powerful

little guy.

Blessings to you sweet Hudson.

Lainey is 4

 

Our spunky little Lainey is 4.

She is a whole lot of fun 

and keeps her family on their toes.

Lainey knows what she likes: tutus, dresses,

 Barbies, dress up, playing store or house.

She loves outside time.

And snack time.

Lainey's older siblings love to help her celebrate.

You can't beat a unicorn cake.

Marking time with mom and dad too.

This little family is figuring out new places 

and making memories wherever they go.

May the Lord bless this little lady as she keeps us 

ALL in line.

Hadley Grace is 6

 

Well this young lady knew EXACTLY 

what she wanted for her birthday party.

Flowers in her hair, dress-up and 

 the neighbors over to celebrate.

We pulled out the dresses made by 

Great Grandma Florene Denninger 

for her mom- Laura and sisters.

Hadley chose the menu:

Shrimp cocktail and sauce,

lemon cupcakes and lemon tea.

Strawberries and poppyseed and lemon tea cakes.

Everyone was on best behavior.

                          Lainey really liked the little cupcakes.

                                   Papa and Gigi helped with making the 

flower wreaths to wear.

Donuts for breakfast and silly siblings 

made for a great birthday #6.

Surrounded by a family that loves Hadley- 

that's the very best.

May God bless you sweet little girl.

Oh, and we have to wait for "nighttime"

for a photo of the favorite birthday gift-

Batty.... for a girl who loves bats.

And as far as bats go...

she really is a cutie.

Jonah is Six!

 

Jonah is Six!

Long legs and wonderful smile!

A 

Brothers are willing helpers. 

But Jonah can read his own cards.

Papa Chuck can do fun things 

with Apps on his phone.

Time for learning some music.

Arranging up.

New books and colored pencils.

A book, stickers, a game and LEGOs.

That looks like fun.

Auntie Victoria aways has the greatest cards.

Time for a new scooter.

 They get hard wear.

Very fancy cupcakes for the birthday boy.

A hug for this sweet boy 

growing up too fast from his biggest brother.

Blessings to you as enter this new year!

We love you!

Charlie is Seven!

 

This toothless guy is seven 

and it was time to celebrate.

Especially with chocolate.

We are so happy to see this little guy

 all ready for this next birth year.

God bless you, dear Charlie!

Jack is Nine!

One guess about what this big guy

 likes these days!

Well, in this season it is baseball.

Mr. Jack turned 9 this May 

and we celebrate this milestone.

All sorts of things catch the attention 

of this young man.

Anything with a ball.

May is a very busy time for a birthday.

But, family celebration happens 

and we say Yes yes!!!

All things sports related top the list.

Because Dad, Dan, is the athletic trainer for the 

University of Michigan baseball team,

Jack had a special treat when part of the team 

showed up to one of his own games

 to cheer him on for his birthday.

Great to have your very own cheering section.

Way to go Jack and many many birthday blessings 

to you in this new year.

Always fun to celebrate things with the brothers!!!

Griffin is 11!

 

The oldest grandson turned eleven this month.

I got to spend a morning out with him this year.

We celebrated with the family 

and a meal at the local Tony's in Saginaw.

Some Star Wars for a birthday this year.

Aunt Jess baked a birthday cake and we celebrated

 on Easter on your Baptism Birthday.

Some cousin time on Easter 

as we gathered to celebrate the Risen Savior and 

the gift of another year for Griffin.

The Schumacher family gathered together

and thankful for the gift of this young man.
