Just the girls!

5-11-13


It looks like Joel thinks brownies are delicious!

5-10-13


Track coaches consulting at the League Meet.  Unfortunately it wasn't a winning night.

5-9-13


The boys enjoying the park!

My little stinker!  I love this shot because Avery has started squishing up her nose when she's being goofy.  Love it!

5-7-13


We got some toys for Avery, that we are going to give her for her birthday.  However, both boys decided to have a little play time before I could get them in to hiding for the next 2 months.

Progress on the tree fort!

5-5-13


A little brother-lovin!

5-4-13





Sorry - this is sort of disgusting.  However, Jake and the neighbor girl were very interested in how a snake can swallow a frog, whole.  It was a little nature lesson and sort of interesting from a distance.

Look at my amazing little boy.  It appears that he is praying before dinner.  Nope!  Actually he didn't nap today and fell asleep while eating!

5-2-13


Joel has new jeans on today.  I guess this is why I can't prevent holes in the knees of ANY pair of pants!

5-1-13


Can you see my middle child hiding out in the toy closet?  Look closely!  He is in there!

4-30-13


Rub a dub, dub.  Three men in a tub!

4-29-13


So excited to give the boys a "Welcome to Summer" present! I found these on sale at Target.  I love that store!

I'm so proud of all that Jake has learned this year in school!  It's amazing that he is writing words, he has learned how to follow directions, and he's even close to reading!  He regularly sounds words out and tries to figure out what they are.

Enjoying some sunshine!

4-26-13


Avery's first time at the park.  She wasn't too sure about the swing.

4-25-13


Joel thought the doll needed to eat too.

4-24-13


Jake's first t-ball game!

4-23-13


Apparently Joel doesn't like the hot dogs in his Spaghettios.  He must know what they are made of...


4-22-13


It's been 6 years since I've taught a class.  I guess it's time to get rid of all of these.  I'm feeling a little melancholy about all of this, but I think Avery is enjoying it!

4-21-13


Joel swallowed a nickel.  I think it was more traumatizing for me than him!

4-20-13


I was desperate for my kids to take a nap - so we all went for a drive.

4-19-13


A sick little boy, sitting with Grandpa (to give Mom a rest...)

4-18-13


At least some Grand Rapids residents loved having tons of rain!
