Tulip Festival and first tooth

We went to Holland, MI over Mother's day weekend with our friends, the Sabey's. It was a lot of fun. There was a lot of stuff for the kids to do and it was beautiful. I'm so glad we went and can't wait to go next year.

I normally would not feed a goat, but I wanted the kids to not be afraid.

There were lots of tulips, but what more would you expect from a place called Holland.




We went to see Lake Michigan while we were out there.






The big guy and his missing tooth. He came down the other day and said he had a moving tooth. Can't believe this funny guy is getting so big. Kali can't stand to not have her picture taken.

Just hanging out around the house :)

Happy Spring

We started the spring out a with some rain and it is still raining, but we have been having fun.

My mom came to visit while Scott was in Nicaragua so I could work. We had fun too and I miss her. Next, Scott's sister Jodi came to visit. We showed her around Detroit and its downfall. We were so glad to have been able to spend time with her. The kids ask about our visitors for days after they are gone.

Scott snapped this pic while I was work. Kali's chubby cheeks make me smile. She didn't get a nap this day and fell asleep while he was making dinner.

Caden's spring break was the week before Easter so we were able to fill the week with lots of fun activities.

We made sugar cookies and the kids probably ate more than they decorated. Especially Kali- that girl loves her sweets. It was morning too. Nothing like a bunch of sugar to start the day. :)

I wish I had a better picture of this, but the city has a marshmallow drop before Easter. There is a helicopter full of marshmallows and drops them over a field. The kids got to trade their marshmallows for a prize.

The next day the weather was a lot nicer and the kids went to an egg hunt in the park.

Look at that woman's face in the background. Serious stuff...

On Easter we had an egg hunt in the backyard after church and then went to some friend's house for dinner. On our way home we stopped at "Grandma" and "Grandpa's" house. That's what Caden calls our elderly neighbors. They are so sweet. It was a nice day.

I love spring and all of the beauty it brings.
