Thanking God for Kyle!

First born son!

And first born quadruplet! (Not that he reminds his sisters of this little fact often.)

We're so thankful for you, Kyle!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Kyle does take his big brother job very seriously . . .

He's perfectly innocent . . .

but often misunderstood! ;-)

In all seriousness,

he's an awesome brother and friend to all his siblings!

Happy 18th Birthday, Kyle!

We love you soooo much!

His request for breakfast?
Chocolate chip pancakes, (regular pancakes, not pumpkin ;-)
bacon and fried eggs!
(A farmer's breakfast for sure! Oh, wait a minute . . .he's not a farmer!  But still a hard-working young man!)

Ribs, mashed potatoes, and brown rolls for dinner.

 We look forward to seeing all the good things the Lord has planned for you in the coming years!

Kyle's 18th Birthday Celebration!

Saturday we were very blessed to have five fun families,

 and many marvelous members of our family 

out to our home to help us celebrate Kyle's 18th birthday!  

Kyle requested his annual birthday baseball game once again, and we were so thankful that these friends and family members were more than willing to oblige, and come out to play with us!  

 

Kyle has posted many pictures of the game on his blog at:

These are few similar but different pictures . . .

 

Team Black

 

 Team Red

(There's Elanee! ; -)

 And all the wonderful, supportive fans!

(Wait a minute . . .Mr. J. in the red t-shirt,

surrounded by a couple of his daughters, is actually one of the players!)

There we go . . .Mrs. J. is there now!

And Mr. B., too!

 

 Do you see something funny in this picture?  :-)

Thanks soooooo much to all of you who came out to play and celebrate with us!

You all are such a huge blessing to our family!   

Quadruple the Fun ~ Part 3 ~ Kyle!

Happy Birthday, Kyle!

We thank God for the blessing of you!!!

 

You are truly a delight to our souls!

(Psalm 29:17)

 

(Fun Dress-up Outfits Thanks to Meemom! : -)

Of all the things Kyle is and does,

being a big brother 

has always been one of his most favorite things in life!

(And he is an awesome brother!) 

 He was especially thrilled and thankful when he was

blessed with brothers!

 

 

Of course, he's pretty crazy about his sisters, too!

 

 

And his siblings love him very much! 

 

Why, his sisters even play baseball with him

when he wants to play!

 

See, here's proof . . . even Lydia is playing!
(That is, when we were able to pull her away
from her socializing! ;-)

 

 

Victoria is up-to-bat . . .
 but what is going on behind the scenes near second base?

 Looks like Daddy and Mr. J. are conspiring to catch Mr. T. in his attempt to steal third!

 However, as you can see in the next picture,

Mr. T. made it safely home,
and Victoria is now approaching second!

 

 Wow, even sacrificing her well-being, as she slides into second! ;-)
 

 And thanks to Issariah for saving the photographer

from this incoming ball!

We had such an awesome time at Kyle's birthday BBQ and baseball bash!

THANK YOU sooooo much to everyone who came out to celebrate with us!!

For lots more pictures and a play-by-play commentary on the entire game . . .

And last but not least,

Apple pie for dessert!

(His sisters spoil him pretty good, too! ;-)
