Happy Halloween & Happy Thanksgiving too!

Sorry it has been so long since I've made a post. The swim season is finally finished and I hope to have more time for the little things like keeping my blog updated!


Both kids were cows for Halloween - thanks to our cousins Mya & Owen for letting us borrow the cute costumes! :) We had fun showing them off to the grandparents and a few friends.


This week we celebrated Thanksgiving. We had a big feast at the Doll house, then we all took a big nap. We have so much to be thankful for!!!

6 months old!

It is incredible to think a half a year has past since Lee entered our lives! He is such a joy - just look at that smile :) Thanks for all the love and kindness you've shown to our little guy. He is a very special part of our family. We are so blessed to be a family of four!

Laughing Lee

Here is our little buddy - about 5 months old here - He is so much fun! He is laughing more and more at me, Dave, and especially Laney. His little laughs are the best sound in the world (in my opinion)! Enjoy!

Fun at the Fair

This year Laney enjoyed the fair much more than the year before...she was pretty scared last year and cried whenever we got close to the larger animals...this year she was very excited and wouldn't stop talking about them! Laney LOVES animals. We rewarded her with a sticky, sugary mess - aka push up at the end of the night. Baby Lee loved looking at everything and everyone - he crashed just before we got back to the car to head home. Next year will be even better - when both kids can REALLY enjoy the experience - we may even have to take them on some of the rides!!! :)

Baby Noises

2 Busy 2 Blog!

Sorry it has been so long since my last post! August was a crazy month. I started coaching the girls swim team, Dave finished up youth group and is getting ready to go back to school. Can't believe how fast the summer went. It always seems to fly, but this one went faster than most!!! Probably because we were traveling all over MI and have 2 kids! Anyway, here are some recent pics and I'll try to keep it more up to date for you all... (Especially you Tammi :)


Our little lady has really enjoyed spending time outdoors this summer. She has a blast catching bugs in her net - just yesterday I allowed her to torture/play with a grasshopper for half an hour. She loves bugs! She also loves to pick and smell flowers. Here is a sunflower from our garden. She is quick to point them out in other peoples gardens when we are driving around.



Here is our little cabbage patch...can't believe he turned 4 months old this month!!! He is such a good baby - he is very predictable and has fallen into a nice schedule. I love that he is sleeping through the night. His smiles and coos are the best. His recent accomplishment is rolling over - it's only happened a few times on his own, his big sister likes to help a little too much sometimes :)

Brown & White

Aren't these some of the cutest kids you've ever seen? The white ones are mine, the brown ones are Jen's :) I think our family needs to spend some more time in the sun! Hopefully we will be able to do that next week when we stay out at Sandy Pines! :)
