Luke's 26th Birthday & Mother's Day

 Luke turned 26 last week! We can't be that old but yes we are. We attempted to take him to an Indians game (local AAA baseball team) that got rained out but he had fun anyway.

We had fun celebrating Mother's day too. I am so grateful for Jennifer and the amazing Mom she is.

Joel's last Mother's day at home at least for now.

I am grateful for my mom too.

Our moms our great!

Mother's Day and other May fun with the Kunkel Krew

 

We had a fun time celebrating Mother's Day with Jennifer and our Moms.

We had a surprise visit (surprise for Luke and the girls anyway) from Levi and Alanna as well. They were passing through for a wedding and it just happened to land on Luke's birthday.

Speaking of Luke's birthday. It is hard to believe that our oldest son is now 25!

Luke loves to go to Indians games so we took him to a game for his birthday.

It's rare that Emma gives her aunts or anyone other than Mom snuggles so Aunt Diane was eating it up.

We had a big party the night Levi and Alanna were here to celebrate Luke and Mother's Day. 

Luke's Birthday and Mother's Day

 Luke just turned 24! He is a special boy who likes TV, looking out the window, playing with trucks, and whatever is next. He reminds of things over and over until they happen and then he is on to the next thing! We got to take him to an Indians game and out to eat for his birthday.

We celebrated our moms on Sunday. We are so grateful for our moms! Ben and Jennifer's moms came over Sunday evening. (Didn't get any pics) Here in Indianapolis it was a beautiful day so we spent most of the evening outside. We got some decent pictures at church in the morning too. You can see below.

Mother's Day, Luke's Birthday and Prom

 Yesterday and today (Today is Mother's Day in Guatemala) we are celebrating. We celebrate Jennifer and our Moms. We are also celebrating Luke's 21st birthday which is hard to fathom. How can our oldest be 21? Luke has taught us so much and we are grateful for his life. I am grateful for the amazing Mom God has given me and also my amazing wife who is a great Mom. 

Grateful to do life with this fine lady!

We are grateful for our moms too. These are the most recent pics we have with them. Hard to be away from them on Mother's day but we were glad to at least talk with them yesterday.

Jake is becoming a fine young man as well.

Luke needed a little help blowing out candles.

He was happy with Rice Crispy Treats and Mom's pizza bread for dinner.

Levi was also able to be in Texas with his girlfriend for her prom. He stopped there on the way back from our trip to Colombia. Hard to miss these types of moments with him but glad he was able to go.

Birthdays and Other Family Updates

It has been too long since I have posted here so wanted to give a quick family update. We have had a few birthdays over the last few months. First, Ben turned 40 in April and Luke turned 18 earlier this month. I mentioned earlier this year that this is a big birthday year for us. Below are a few pictures from our birthday celebrations.

 Ben's 40th Birthday

 Luke's 18th!

 We took him to a pizza place that had this jeep and spent some time in their playing.

Below are some other activities over the last month or so. 

 Jennifer and the boys on Mothers Day!

Levi participated in the ministry's rally day in which they did an obstacle course like event. Lots of fun! (Read and see more about that day here)
