Annie got a HUUUUGE Bunny..!!




Joshua's first easter basket from his grandma! He neglected the lamb and went straight for the candy.


Flying a kite -- obviously Joshua has no idea what he's doing (almost like his daddy, right? :))



Hunting for eggs



We're getting ready for Easter Dinner at my mom's saturday evening (Mike's mom)

farewell to a legend

In his book, Talking In The Dark, Steve Harper reminds us:

Life can change quickly…don’t wait for the change to occur…begin now to dig the well that leads to God’s living water, so that when your change happens, you can draw from resources that are already present.

Ollie!

super biker gal

last night I put together a superbowl party for the deaf ministry at church at a restaurant with an arcade. Annie quickly discovered the video games, as did Joshua. They both loved the motorcycle game, so with a little help from mom and dad we propped them on their sport bikes and their imagination did the rest. Well, we turned our backs to have conversations with some friends and when we looked again a few minutes later, Annie got creative on her bike!

caught in the act

Well, Annie asked, so I painted!

fried chicken & various tidbits

...Mike Reporting...

I have known Alicia five and a half years. In our brief history, she has always detested fried chicken. I personally don't mind the occasional heart attack, but forget alicia eating the stuff. 8 weeks into pregnancy with #3, she has eaten very little, until a commercial for fried chicken tonight at 8:40 (with temps in the 20's) what do you think she asked me to do?? Wow, Alicia Royer ate fried chicken! Grow baby, grow!

and now for various kiddie / family photos...

Little Royer #3

 

Hello Friends! Alicia and I are proud to announce #3 on the way! We're only six weeks along; with an expected arrival sometime in September. More to come!

The pictures below are from our trip to Asheville, NC. We visited the Biltmore which was gorgeous and enormous! We also rode horses through the estate. We had a wonderful time!!!

In this picture Annie and Joshua are both sick, can you tell??
Also in one of the pictures below, Joshua is wearing a bandage on his hand. It is because he was so sick he had to have an IV put in his arm and they bandaged it and kept it in in case he needed more fluids.

Random and older pics

a group of us had fun at the wiggles!!
