Flowers in Bloom!

Grandma Violet kissing Baby Violet

This weekend has been very special to the Sisk family. Violet coming, along with being very exciting, has also been somewhat of a surprise. With two boys, we thought we had somewhat of a pattern in the gender we produced. But, Violet has arrived and we are very excited and thrilled.

Some of you are excited because you think that I need to "build character" or "be stretched". Yes, I am very intimidated by a baby girl, but obviously I have a heavenly father that thinks we (including me) are ready for this exciting adventure.

A very neat thing that happened this weekend was a visit from some family. All of the family that came was very sweet, but one in particular was especially great. The grandma that means so much to us made the trip to see us... more specifically, to see the little baby that was named after her.

It was last June when Grandma Violet had her surgery and was soon sent home with 10-14 days to live. It is now a year later and Grandma traveled 3 1/2 hours to see Baby Violet. A sweet time it was, and as always, it did not last near long enough.

We really appreciate all of the love and support of everyone that called, e-mailed, texted, or came by. We feel like a very blessed family because of the love you extend to us.

Thanks for making this time in our lives so special!

Boys Meet Girl!

Our little family gets acquainted with each other. Violet makes her brothers look so grown up!

Jayden and Zeke each took a turn holding Baby "V".
They did such a good job!

Crusaders with the Cardinals!

Saturday, May 31 was our Spring "Crusaders with the Cardinals" event. This one was especially fun because I took Jayden with me. It was our first baseball game together!

Golf with Zeke

Friday Zeke and I (Chris) took some time to go play miniature golf... aka Putt Putt. We had a great time as I tried to work with him and teach him to use both hands to hit the ball into the hole.

The interesting thing is that Zeke seemed to be more entertained by analyzing the waterfall, creeks, and lake around the course. It was quite fun.

When we were getting to the end Zeke was able to putt hole 18 completely by himself. I think it only took him about 12 strokes (yes, that is good)!



After our adventure we went to Burger King, per Zeke's request, to have french fries and cookies. I know, the lunch of golf champions!
