Can you smell the lilacs?

4-11-12

I think it was good - but most of it is on my face!!

4-9-12

Can I go back outside now???  I fit it all in my mouth at least!

4-8-12

I guess the Easter bunny thought Jake was good this year!

4-7-12

A boy after my own heart - animal crackers dipped in frosting!

4-6-12

And we bought it!  Here is the mom-mobile being delivered!

4-5-12

It's Opening Day for MLB!!!  Yes, although I was stuck working for a million hours, Jeremy was nice enough to text me this picture of Rod and Mario, our Tiger's announcers.  How I've missed you!

4-4-12

Yep, it's track season.

4-3-12

Jeremy and the boys made Light Sabers today.  The best toy (and one of the cheapest!) in the house!

4-2-12

Don't judge - this is my boys' favorite place to watch TV.  It's a daily struggle to get them to back up so they don't "ruin their eyes."  Is that really just something our parents told us to back up?  Is there any truth to it?

Check out this pie!  Jeremy is spoiled by his Grandma Kate with another peach pie!

Jeremy decorated Easter eggs with the boys this year.  Can you believe that he took the time to drill holes and get the insides out, rather than just boiling them?  Yes, an impressive Dad!

3-30-12

Yep, it's still March and we have a rainbow!  A reminder of God's Promise!

3-27-12

A mini-van mom??  Are we crazy to be thinking about buying this van from a dealership in Minnesota?  Yes, both thoughts are crazy!

3-26-12

Too focused to notice the chalk on his face, pants, hands...everywhere!

3-25-12

Freshly cut grass, my Red Bud tree in bloom, blue skies, a perfect Sunday afternoon!

3-23-12

One of Joel's favorite parts of life - bath time!

3-21-12

Flowers are out!  Has spring really sprung in March?!?

3-19-12

Still lovin' this weather!  The neighborhood kids tried to make the world's longest hop-scotch game!

3-18-12

My green beauty that we bought the day Jake was born...Jeremy is taking pictures to try and sell it on Craig's List...guess we need more space with a 3rd child!

3-17-12

The weather is SO nice for the middle of March!  It's St. Patty's day, and we decided to take our first summer stroll in Grand Haven!

3-16-12

Jake LOVES guitars!

3-10-12

I have no words for what Jake is doing here...

3-10-12

I am finally getting caught up on here.  I also realize I missed some days of taking pictures, but have decided that is just ok.  It is the time of year when I really feel like I work all of the time.  Thankfully this has been a relatively easy busy season, or maybe I'm just learning how to deal with it better.  Either way, there are days when I get home just in time to put the kids to bed and go to bed myself.  But spring is in the air - and that means busy season is almost done!!!  Can't hardly wait!!!!!!!

Joel got this cardboard house for Christmas.  The boys are slowly working on coloring it, but do have a lot of fun playing in it and poking their heads out of the window.

3-8-12

Joel loves to play in the cupboards!

3-7-12

We tried to have a playdate at the park since Tuesday was such a nice day, but it was freezing!  So we ended up in the library.  Jake and his buddies are playing dinosaurs.

3-6-12

After my foot of snow this weekend - a 60 degree, gorgeous afternoon in GR!

3-3-12

I went to the Breathe Retreat with our church for the weekend.  We were up at camp, and although we had the best speaker and worship that there has been since I've started going, it was freezing, we were without power, and there was a foot of snow.  It took me 4 hours to get there!  Overall though, still a fun weekend and a nice time to get-away and recharge.

3-2-12

Although a little hard to read, there is an arrow pointing at my belly and it says Future Fan.  I just got this shirt - really wish I had it for all of my pregnancies!  I also hope I actually get to go to a game this spring and wear this shirt!
