We celebrated C turning 15 last Sunday! We went to Applebee's for dinner and had a very nice evening. It wasn't crowded at all :). We are planning to have a celebration with his friends this weekend. It's crazy that before long, he too will be driving. C is talented, witty, smart, and an amazing role model for his younger brothers. We love you Clay!
Our church celebrated the seniors on Wed night with a banquet. It was so fun! It was a time to honor them, fellowship, share a wonderful meal, play games and celebrate. I'm so thankful for our church community and their investment in our family!
A, B & C had their final band concert for this semester last night. This concert was extra special because it is A's last concert as she is graduating next month and headed off to college. They did a fantastic job and all 3 of them came home with an award. I cannot say enough good things about this program!
Hello
everyone! Most of you know that D is involved in competitive
gymnastics. The last two seasons have been challenging as D had to miss
due to surgeries. I'm truly amazed at her determination and hard work! We are excited about this upcoming season and getting to watch her
routines again. D and her gymnastics team are raising money to help off
set monthly dues and meet fees! She has a personal goal to raise $500+
to help support her and her teammates. Please consider donating, no
gift is too small. Go here to check it out - thanks!
E made the decision to get baptized last Sunday! I'm so proud of her. Our church had a potluck dinner and gathered together to celebrate all of those getting baptized (and there were a lot!).

I absolutely love that the goal of Whatsoever Stories is to provide families with captivating stories that emphasize biblical truths and help build Godly character. Their theme verse is below:
Whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever
things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of
good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think
on these things. - Philippians 4:8
As I previously mentioned, our book has 26 chapters and is a nonfiction collection of stories from the Rockett family's experiences over the past decade. I really like how Kinsey shares how God used circumstances to help her faith. D and E are both reading through our book and when they complete it, my plan is to read it aloud with the boys so we can discuss the various circumstances. I love the idea of incorporating this book in our devotional time as it has real life experiences and applications.

I can't believe A is graduating! She has a few more classes to finish up but the time is near and it has literally flown by. A good friend of ours likes to say the days are long but the years are short and this is so, so true. I'm so proud of A and all that she has done and I'm really looking forward to watching her continue to grow as she pursues a degree in Studio Art, go Crusaders! A friend of ours took A's senior pictures ~ a month ago and I love the way they turned out. We will have her official graduation party in June 🎓🥳.
