Whitecaps game

Went to the West Michigan Whitecaps game last night with Papa and Grandma and cousins Romey, Jamie and Emma. It was Superheroes night so the boys wore their Batman and Robin costumes but those didn't last long, it was warm sitting there in the sun. The game was fun, the boys enjoyed the food, the play area and the ice cream more than anything. They had fireworks to end the evening and it was quite a show. We haven't been to that ballpark to see a game before but you can bet we will be back!

Jeff had to keep plugging his ears to not hear the Wings score at the game and we rushed home to see the Wings win game one of the Stanley Cup finals, pretty great day!

VFW Ribfest and sand angels

Yummy ribs galore and a little candy too were had at the Ribfest. Then, we wandered down to the beach and the boys made sand angels. Not quite warm enough for beach days yet. The water was a freezing 47 degrees but the boys wiggled their toes in it anyway.

And, yes, Jeff has more clothes than just his Wings jersey but it's that crazy time of year. GO WINGS!!

A trip to the pony farm with school

The boys school had a dinner picnic at the pony farm last week. Only four more days of preschool!!

A few more pictures from Shanty Creek

The boys had a wonderful adventure with Grandma and Papa while they were up north. They fished, they found a "pet" caterpillar they named Sherman, they rode bikes, they played and they had some quality time together. What lucky boys!!

Windy weekend

Too windy to hit the Kite Festival on the beach (it was great weather to fly kites but the sand was blowing too) so the boys went to play on the playground at the school where they will go this fall.

They also had their last day of Sunday School with Daddy as one of their teachers.

Back to our regular schedule for a couple more weeks now until summer vacation begins for them.

Busy, busy May boys

We're kicking into spring/summer modes and have been crazy trying to keep up with all the activities all of a sudden. The weather is getting to be beautiful, the boys are loving outside time and bike rides. We're almost ready for our first beach day!!

The boys made door hangers for all of their grandmothers and their special Aunt MareMan and their Mama. They each decorated a side and are very proud of their work.


We had an adventure and went up to Shanty Creek with Papa Mark and Grandma Kris last weekend. We went for a walk at a beautiful nature center, had a picnic by a lake, played on playgrounds, toasted s'mores in the fireplace and watched the Red Wings in the playoffs of course! Papa and Grandma are into geocaching now so we also spent some time finding hidden caches and there were lots up north.







We had a wonderful Mother's Day breakfast and then went off to play some putt putt golf in Traverse City before lunch and then Jeff and I came home and the boys stayed for the week with Grandma and Papa.








The boys had lots more adventures during the week and came home safely today. They stopped by dispatch to see me and give me lots of hugs and kisses. We all missed each other. When I got out of work they had alreay headed off to a picnic at the pony farm with their school. They were excited to see their friends. I will have to get Grandma to send some pictures.

Their summer calendar is already filling up QUICKLY!! There will be lots of fun times ahead.

We'll update again ASAP!!
