Our family dog Copper died just a month ago. He had been part of our family for 10 years. We got Copper when he was 6 months olds and our oldest Lucas was just 3 years old. He was deathly afraid of dogs so we decided to get one of our own to cure that. Copper was a wonderful pet and is so very missed. Each of our kids loved him very much as well as Scott and I. We said our goodbyes and shed many tears. We are very glad he does not have to suffer anymore.
Here is Addison playing outside on her little wiggle car. Lucas is really good and takes her outside to play every chance he gets. She loves to be outside and just recently has figured out how to open the door. The other day we were working in the house and noticed Addison was gone. We looked around and the little stinker had gone outside and got her wiggle car out of the garage and was at the end of the drive way just playing. I am thankful we do not live on a busy street. She was only out there for a minute or so. They are quick at this age. Now we lock the big door too. She has not figured out that lock yet.
Here is Brayden playing one of his soccer games. We missed half the games this year but he enjoyed the games we did make it to. He is a good little player.
Lucas loves his little sister.
I thought Addison looked especially cute this day and wanted to share the photo with you.
Brayden was just getting ready to find his eggs and grandma and grandpa's house but decided to sample the Easter basket goodies first.
Addison wanted to stop after picking up just one egg. She knew what was inside. I had to talk her into picking up more eggs. I think big brother Lucas ate most of her candy!
Here are all the grandkids at the Denmark Easter egg hunt. Lucas helped me with Addison and Brayden for I could not be in 2 places at once. Gage did not get in this picture because he was off playing but I thought it was a cute picture of most of the grandkids.
Addison, Raegen, and Gage had their shirts taken off so they wouldn't get the mess on their clothes. This was Addison's first time to decorate eggs. She really enjoyed it.
We decorated eggs and Grandma and Grandpa Markley's house the Sat. before Easter. 
Last weekend a group of guys from church and I headed down to San Antonio for a weekend trip. Overall we rode a little over 1500 miles in 4 days. Had a blast!
We went to Joe's Crab Shack to eat some seafood.
We had fun playing and meeting the boys. We hope someday they can meet our kiddos.
Noah was so nice and sent Pokemon cards for Brayden. That was very nice of him to share.
We had a fun evening visiting with cousin Todd and his family and Uncle Jim and Aunt Eileen.
The kids enjoyed watching the Gorilla. The Gorilla didn't seam to mind them.
