Josiah's 5th Birthday!

I tried to post the night of his birthday, but blogger kept telling me my pass word was wrong! Now I'm not sure where the pictures are from his actual birthday, but I do have pictures from the party we finally had for him in September!
Once again the Basnight Family hosted Python Ron! We had him up to our house for Madison's 5th birthday; this time my mom graciously allowed us the use of her yard.
Josiah had no problem holding the giant hissing cockroach!


Maia didn't mind the snakes

neither did Lilly,

or Maris,

or Garret.

Even Jeremiah and Liam loved the snakes!






I can't remember who this little guy is, but he seems pretty popular!


After the reptiles went home the kids swam for a bit then it was time for cake! Moriah designed and made an amazing cake especially for Josiah. The bottom layer is of course SpiderMan, the middle Green Lantern, and the top is Blue Man, a super hero Josiah made up for himself!

(picture coming as soon as I can find it and figure out how to add it to this post that I started 7 months ago!)

We had a great evening with the cousins and Liam! Thanks for celebrating with us guys:-)

Swim Meet


Maris swimming the 50m freestyle

Saturday was the last swim meet of the regular year. All the girls did really well improving their times in each of their events! We are looking forward to the extended year for Moriah, Emily, and Maris.

Jeremiah "reading"between events

Moriah's event numbers. You should see my arm with all 5 girls events!

Team Spirit!

A rare moment when Josiah was actually sitting still!

Elinor Ryann


She is finally here!! 11 days after the "due" date Elinor graced us with her presence on June 14th at 10:45 am weighing 10 lbs 7 oz and measuring 21.5 inches long!

I love little ears!

Emily no longer has her own initials, she and Elinor are both E.R.B.s

wish we could have gotten the shot of Violet reaching out for her Auntie!
here she's wondering what in the world could be wrong!

Maia is seriously in love and told me that Elinor was her baby!

Maris adores her!

and her brothers are smitten by those chubby cheeks!
