Kendall and The Pledge of Allegiance

Our 3 Little Monkeys...

The kids are getting really cute with each other now and are really starting to have a good time together. Good times are coming!!

Kendall's 4th Birthday!

Can you believe Kendall is 4? We cannot and apparently neither can she. A friend at her birthday asked how old she was and she couldn't come up with an answer. When the friend said aren't you 4 Kendall started laughing and siad No!

Kendall's First Day of Preschool!

Kendall started 4 yr. preschool this year and is doing great! She had some tears the first week, but now I hardly even get a hug goodbye. She goes in the room by herself and never looks back! She has matured so much just in the last month and is just doing fantastic!

The Boys!

Noah's First Haircut!

He did great! I loved his wispy, curly hair but it had started to look a bit like a mullett! Thankfully, there is a little curl left in the back and he looks adorable!

Andrew's First Haircut!

We did it!! Finally, Andrew's mullet is gone! When the first piece was cut I was amazed. It was 2-3" in length...pretty impressive, huh?!?

SMORES!!

We had a bonfire last night and Kendall got to make a smore.... let me tell you, she was one happy girl!

Last Days of Summer!

Here are a couple of pics of the last hot days of summer in Michigan. Kendall was hilarious in her boots and bathing suit. She did a little modeling session for us!

1st Birthday!

The boys are now one!! They are completey different in every way as you can see in these pictures. Looks, personalities, size and even what foods they like! As you can see here Noah LOVED the cake and Andrew HATED the cake!

Noah and Andrew's Christening Day!

We had the boys christened at our house by James' Uncle Mike who is a pastor out in Arizona. We truly appreciate Mike and Aunt Cindy coming out to share this special day with us. It was a beautiful day and we got to have all of our Michigan family and friends (and Mimi and Papa Gary) share the day with us. After the christening we also celebrated the boys' 1st birthday.

Having Fun in the Sun!

Cool Dudes!

Kendall Hangin' with her friends!

Kendall loves being with all of her friends. The top two are with Mia and Lanie playing outside in the pool and sprinkler. THey had to take a break to wash their car! The bottom one a pic of our visit to Carrie Lindley Pruitt's house. Kendall loved playing with Mary and Elizabeth.

James and Ash in Montreal

James and I went to Montreal for our 9th wedding anniversary. What a cool city! We got a much needed break from life and got to sleep in 3 mornings in a row!!!

Family Picture in Chicago

Playing outside while waiting for our deep dish Chicago style pizza! Yum!!

Chicago

We took our first family vacation and went to Chicago. James' mom and her husband went with us to help with the kids and they were wonderful! James had to work a bit on Saturday so grandma and papa kept the boys while mom and Kendall went to American Girl. Oh boy, was Kendall in heaven?!? We went to Millenium Park (playing in the water), the aquarium, Rainforest Cafe (where we meet up with Darren Brown and his family) and went swimming in the hotel. Overall it was a great trip...do wish the boys would have slept a little better but, oh well!

Weeds!

Who knew playing in the weeds could be this much fun??!? Mia, Kendall and Lanie had a great time doing who knows what!

More Memorial Day 2009

Erin and I took all the kids to a petting farm on Memorial Day while the hubbies played golf. It was a beautiful day and we just walked around and had a picnic. Everyone is getting so big!
