Spring Break 2026

We spent a wonderful week with Josh's parents and grandparents in Florida for spring break. This is usually the trip we take in February but the kids's schedules did not work with that timing this year. We had beautiful weather (hot!) and spent lots of time at the beach, pool, and golf course.

Lots of bike rides :)

Ready for church. 

Lunch at Island Chick-N-Shack in Venice after the beach. 

Ike caught so many fish in the pond but none in the ocean.

We played Yahtzee several nights. Dave got 4 Yahtzees in one game!

We watched the sunset on our last night in paradise.

 

March

At the end of February we had a very exciting event-Dave got his license! Here he is ready to roll in his very own minivan :) I think he named it Brenda.

Our worship leader was out of state one week so Dave took over as lead guitar. He did a great job!

Dinner date at Culver's one evening.

Ike spent the weeks leading up to Florida getting his fishing stuff ready to go.

Grandma Kyra and Grandpa Charlie came up to visit and watch Dave play in Rise Up at the Honeywell Center.

 

Mid Winter

After celebrating Christmas in Evansville we stopped in Indy to get the Smith boys for a couple days.

Warmish days call for evening walks.

We got so much snow! And it was mostly freezing until we got through February.

Ike earned silver for his solo and his ensemble this year.  He did a great job!

The guys before their winter dance.

Campus did look beautiful with all that snow :)

 Ike attempted to fish when it was way too cold. 

Celebrated Josh's birthday at Twenty.

My seedlings started popping up!

Christmas!

We had such a lovely Christmas season this year. Lots of visiting with family and great food!

After we celebrated Christmas at home we headed to Evansville.

The hot tub is always a favorite.

Fantastic trip and we headed home ready to start the new year!
