Lucas' 4th Birthday

Lucas had a good 4th birthday, and little did we know that we were squeezing it in just before the world shut down for months due to the Corona virus!  

Lucas' birthday was on a Sunday, so I went and got a birthday donut for him before church:

Presents from mommy and daddy after church:

Lucas loves bowling, and he said he wanted a salad for his b-day dinner. 
The birthday boy gets what he wants!

He also got ice cream, of course!

The evening of his birthday, we went to see Papa Bob be honored for his retirement from the U of I at an Illini game!  Little did we know that the NCAA was about to shut down.  

Lucas got money in the mail from Grandpa and Grandma Reeves:

On March 10th, Lucas got to celebrate his birthday with his friends at preschool!

He asked me to make Peppa Pig cookies!  He loved them!

On Sunday the 15th, Grandma made Lucas a Mickey cake:

And Papa Ed and Grandma Teresa got him this cute Paw Patrol jacket that he loves to wear:

We had no idea that would be the last day we could be with family indoors for months!  We were supposed to have a joint party for Lucas and Aleah with extended family but that had to be changed.  Lucas did get some "drive by" gift in April too though!

Despite Corona changing some of our plans, Lucas had a great 4th birthday, and I'm glad we got some of the events in before everything changed!

Jacob's Shooting Stars Season

This year, Jacob was the only kid we had in Shooting Stars!  Josh was his coach.  It was a bit of a rough year.  The teams were not evenly divided, and we got smoked every week.  But, Jacob did well and had a good season!

His cousin Landon was on his team, as well as Landon's cousin Casen!

Jacob showing that we got 6th place... out of 6 teams... 

This was a typical scoreboard for us... we're the visitors... 

But, it's all about the learning and it will only make him better, right!?  

Mom's 60th & Dad's 60th

My parents BOTH turned 60 this month!  We had party at Betsy's to celebrate mom, and we had a party at our house to celebrate dad!  We also took mom for a day of shopping and eating out to celebrate:

Betsy made an awesome cake:

We got mom new curtains:

Mom was partied out:

Then we had fun getting ready for dad's birthday as well!  I made a cookie bouquet:

Betsy made another awesome cake:

and mom did as well:

Dad's sister and brother both came.  It was a surprise because Aunt Paula lives 9 hours away!

I made some "60" cookies for the party as well:

We hope mom & dad both know how loved they are!
