Too cute...
Sleeping in her cradle that her Grandpa R. made before Justin was born.
Chillin' on Dad & Mom's bed.

I just love this picture... it is too sweet...
Justin & Miley

Levi got a new scooter so that he and Justin both had one! He was very excited!
Our friends Nathan & Jacob stayed with us for a couple of days while their parents went to a funeral in Wisconsin.


The boys playing with Miley while she is having her "tummy time"
Justin has been working on a fort in the backyard and is very proud of his creation. This is the entrance - like at Uncle Andy's house.



Miley and her newest cousin Benjamin Michael - they are 4 weeks apart (we were due one week apart - I went early she went late...)

We did a garage sale at my mom's house - with a combination of Rachel's, Mom's and my stuff! There was a LOT of stuff!
Miley & Grandma soaking up some sun... or just resting... garage sales can be exhausting!
My kids!
Relaxing and watching the race on a Sunday afternoon.

My Silly Kids!

SOLD

As of the last week of May our house is SOLD. Exactly a year after we put the house on the market we finally sold it! We are scheduled to close June 23 and we have to be out Friday, June 26! Wow! It is hard to believe and we have a lot of work to do now! Packing, packing, packing...

Mom's Birthday - May 25 - Memorial Day

The boys had a great time decorating a cake for me... it was really fun to watch them!
They were very proud of the masterpiece.
They used their math skills and added up all the numbers and candles to equal 34! Pretty clever huh!?
Mom & her kids! What a blessing!
Mom's still got it - I hadn't shot bows this spring since I was quite pregnant and the boys were pretty surprised that I could still hit the target!

May 24 - Memorial Day Weekend - Sunday with my Family

Sunday we had a nice dinner with the whole family. It was a beautiful day!
Brent & Lacy
Aunt Karen is over a week overdue and is trying to get that little guy to come out!
She seriously was jumping on the trampoline!
The kids had fun watching the "mom's" jumping!
Grandma brought out the sprinkler and that too was a lot of fun for the kids!


Uncle Andy took the kids for "Monster Truck" rides - that LOVED it!

Miley wore her first dress to church and she looked so pretty!

First Lost Tooth!!

Justin's first baby tooth was ready to come out - it was just hanging. I was anxious and nervous for it to come out though - after all he had waited 7 years for a loose tooth!
He let Daddy wiggle it and magically out it came!
What an event!
My proud toothless boy!

Another successful hunt by Justin! He was so excited he shot this chipmunk with his compound bow!
He wanted to be sure that I took a picture of the bloody arrow!
May 19
We had 2 showings so we headed out the Butch's Beach Burritos in Grand Haven and sat on the board walk and had supper. It was a little chilly - but it was great to get out.

The boys had fun on the dunes behind Butch's before we headed back home.

We took a road trip to Nashville, Michigan to see our friends Jerry & Sharon. They were so excited to see Miley for the first time.
