2018 Backlog - Photos From The Archives

I'm not even sure what Jude dressed up for,

but I don't think he could get any cuter!

When we have friends over it always comes in multiples, ha!

Addison and Chloe are some of our faves.

I am also well aware that the Mayhugh's and the Via's 

are very closely integrated!

And we are all together you better watch out

because we will TAKE OVER!

Soccer season is fun for the whole family.

The girls get to play together...

...and so do the boys!

In fact, going home right after the game just doesn't ever seem to be an option.

I love this shot of Alethia on the long board.

And this photo of Cai quietly reading is one of my all time favorites too!

2018 Backlog - GO Conference

GO Conference at SEBTS 2018 was a blast!

We even made a live album from the weekend.

2018 Backlog - Valentine's Day

We always have fun for "Heart Day"

Valentine's 2018 was no exception!

We made our own valentines for classmates and friends.

The kids woke up to the traditional heart-shaped muffins

and hearts lining every inch of the house and ceiling:)

Even Jemma got in on the action, ha!

Rainy, The Birthday Cake Baker

We have a tradition around here.

If anyone has a birthday they place their birthday cake order with

the queen of baking.

She has become pretty amazing!

For my 40th she made a mint chocolate cake

with essential oils

and IT.WAS.DELICIOUS.

Jude always has some pretty elaborate ideas, 

but none too hard for Rainy!

The first cake pictured was Jude's birthday cake last year.

This next cake was Jude's birthday cake THIS year.

He wanted a penguin and panda theme...of course, lol.

Rainy went with a homemade cookie cake base.

She is also getting pretty good at improvising when she needs to.

The black icing was dyed with activated charcoal!

Pretty impressive if you ask me.

And Jude was a huge fan.

Rainy, herself, isn't a huge cake fan, but since she loves to bake so much

she is going to make her own birthday cake next week

just so she can get creative in the kitchen!

2018 Backlog - Nena

This day a year a ago sweet Nena went to be with Jesus.

Josh wrote the most beautiful post last year after her passing 

about the legacy that she left behind.

We miss her so much, as we remember her time here,

but we are resting in the peace and comfort that the Lord provides.

Uncle Ray thanking his mom for being such a great mom to him. 

Zeke was asked to be one of the paulbearers.

He also chose to wear his Great Ungle Gene's hat.
