Spring Updates for the bunch

This year has brought many (exciting) changes to the Byers Bunch!  I knew this year would be a wild ride for some reason, but I never imagined how "wild" it would be.  It seems at every turn something new is happening.  I am extremely greatful to God for all of his blessings.

Jose was selected to have a speaking role in a Hollywood production that was filming in Columbus this past April.  He was able to work and learn from Chris Maloni  (think SVU!!)  We are all so greatful for the chance that Jose was able to have.  The movie will be out next year so everyone go out and see I AM WRATH.   Look for the "Bald Thug".  :)

A HUGE (I can not tell you how big) milestone in our house is that Karley has finally started to sleep thru the entire night by herself.  I'm just slightly sad that she is becoming more independent, but glad to be getting a decents night sleep.  

Now that the weather has been getting nicer the 3 Musketeers have been able to get together more. 

Karley has also started to play "hospital" alot on the weekends.  She will put herself down for a nap if she is tired, but she tells me she is going to go play hospital.  The blanket and eye mask are from when my Dad was in the hospital recovering from his heart attack.  If you also notice the lump by her stomach, that is where she has actually taken a stuffed animal and put it up her pajamas.  She also has a baby in her tummy.  Too cute!

I couldn't resist taking these photos of her.  

We also have another driver in the house!!  He's getting closer to taking his driver's test so we are in search of a car for him.  It's so hard to believe the he will be out on his own soon.  *tear*

And we've made some new friends....

Happy Easter

To the country we go....

Our first family trip to PA of 2015.

While Gimmy and I were going thru some boxes in the attic we found a lil' chicken.

And then a kitty appeard.  He liked showing off his tail.

It was fun to find some things from the past.

My nephew likes to show off a different fashion sense.  I may have encouraged this to make my brother happy.  ;)

I never knew how involved in the community my Grandma Jane was until this weekend.  I found a book that had a ton of papers in it.  She had kept a notebook of different events that she would host.  The papers ranged from Hat Partys, receptions to club dinners.  My dad and I started to see who could figure out her writting.  Her writting was so tiny and the letters would run together.  Petite writting for a petite lady.  

On the way from the farm to my parent's place is the Laurel Hill Coveraged bridge.  You are still able to drive over it if you want to.  We made a trip over and a trip back so the kids could say they drove over an old coveraged bridge.  We then got out to take some photos before heading up the road.

On Sunday we spent a little time with my brother and his family bowling.  The kids did better than the adults.

I miss the giggles....

He still does the same giggle, but he's a growing boy and those giggles are getting a little deeper as time passes by.
