Cousins

We had a "girls" day last weekend. The boys went to the car show and the girls went to the mall. Kara had to work unfortunately, but Olivia and Sienna got in some good quality cousin time in! Sienna read Olivia some books at Oma's house.

Then we went to the mall for some ice cream and play time!

After all that, the girls needed a nap on the way home! Hopefully the boys had as much fun as we did!!

Reading Time

Brody has a new bed. It's a low loft bed. I created a space underneath and we added a bookshelf and a couple bean bag chairs. All I need to add is a cool wall lamp (like those ones at IKEA, the moon or star) and it will be complete! This has become our new bed time reading hang out...

The kids love it! And this morning I could hear them hustling about before we were out of bed. I tip-toed out of our room and could hear them in Brody's. I peaked through the crack of his door and the two of them were sitting here, both in their own bean bag chairs having a little morning chat between brother and sister...sooo cute! Too bad I didn't have a camera handy!

Skating

Sienna's first time skating! She did not too bad...was able to walk a few steps on her skates and glide on them holding onto us. Brody had fun too testing the skills he learned in his skating classes last year. Still lots of falling on bums..but all in all a good time!

Our family day skate was a thumbs up success!!

A much needed update

A Very Much Needed Update. Hopefully people will actually see this post and not have completely given up on any chance of a blog update..... Life is just SOOOO busy, working full time, running around with the kids, doing errands, visiting with friends and family...who has time to blog?? OK, I am making time now.... so I've been off for four days with the kids and have some updating to do. Forget about the summer, camping, our trip to the States and Halloween...here's what we've been doing for the past 4 days...I absolutely LOVE spending time with these two little munchkins...they are busy little beavers....and they are changing and growing up EVERY DAY!!!

Time to paint!

Our 7th Anniversary

Scott and I celebrated our 7th Wedding Anniversary on June 21st. I can't believe how time flies! It seems like not long ago we were getting married on a day it poured rain ALL DAY...what a beautiful day it was. I would love to relive it for 1 day. And to think of how far we have come...with 2 amazing children, it's hard to imagine life any diffrent than it is now. I wouldn't trade it for anything! It was so nice to celebrate the day together on a sunny golf course and then we took the kids out for dinner and celebrated with our little family...a perfect day!!!

Love you honey!!

Sienna's 2nd Birthday

Our Little Soccer Star

Brody's first year of playing soccer! Personally I was very excited for this moment. Soccer runs in our blood since we are from Holland and I played it as a little girl myself as well as when I was older. Brody is 3 1/2, so some days he loves it and others he would rather pick the grass off the field...but as long as he has fun most of the time...I'm happy!!
