James's Birthday --- 5 yrs old

It fianally came, the day we have been waiting for (about 6 months), James's Birthday. Starting off with his favorite breakfast.

Party Time! When I asked him if he wanted a party with friends or just cousins he said just cousins. So we had a pirate party with a fun treasure hunt.

Angelia's Wedding

My sister, Angelia, got married last Friday. It was a fun day. The kids love Annie and were very excited. They won't know what to do when she doesn't live at Grandma's anymore. We are happy to have Ryan in the family. They make a great couple.





Mary got to keep the bouquet and would not relenquish it for a day or so.



James and Mary sang at the Wedding Breakfast. They sang "The Family is of God". They sang it in church a couple of weeks ago. They were so excited to get to hold the microphone. When Mary was a little unsure of the words she would shove it into James' face, then take it back when she knew it. I guess we have watched to much American Idol.

Sisters!!!

Mary and Emily with Baby Janie. My brother Jacob and his wife Melissa had her in April. We are so excited to have a cousin on the Coats side.

Lehman Cave

Saturday we went to Lehman Cave (or as Mary thinks - Laman's Cave) We had a good time. Emily did not like the cave, but James and Mary thought it was great. We went with Jim's Aunt Jeri, Aunt Linda, Cousin Riley, and Mason, Megan, and Morgan.
