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!

4-17-13

And the rains came - and flooded all of West Michigan.

4-16-13

It's team picture day for Jake's tee-ball team.  

4-15-13

Just playing with Grandpa

4-14-13

REALLY?!  Snow in the middle of April?

4-13-13

Happy 9 month birthday!!

4-12-13

Kissable cheeks!

4-11-13

Meet our stray cat, Sethe.  She comes to visit every morning, afternoon, evening...apparently sunbathing our deck is her newest favorite place to be.

4-10-13

This makes for a fun laundry day!

4-9-13

We have stacks of books around our house right now.  Jeremy is on a mission to turn is classroom into a library!

4-8-13

Yes, even Jeremy uses Pinterest!  It has already helped reduce the clutter in our garage.

4-7-13

SURPRISE!  Curtis and Michelle found out they are expecting a baby boy at their big gender reveal party!  August can't get here soon enough!  I want to meet this little guy!
