Muskegon Vacation 2009

Where to begin?
So, we stayed with the always wonderful, ever exciting, Hale Family!! We were within walking distance to the beach, so every morning...we walked to the beach, well at least the boys, the puppies & I.
We had a fabulous visit with the Gordon's @ their cottage.
Big Tall Laurie came out for some play time.
Caleb & Claudia dug an impressive hole! Josiah practiced his 'Karate Kid' moves on the beach.

Blessings

After a fun day hanging with my boys and celebrating Tim's birthday, I am once again struck with the many blessings that have been given to me in my life.



I am not always keenly focused on these blessings, or maybe don't always see them as blessings, but that doesn't change the fact that they are just that!
God has given me the life that He knows I need and can handle.
















I am extremely thankful for all that I have been given in this life and the experiences God has allowed me to have.

Silly Face Supper

Just for fun...we had silly face supper, complete with banana eyes, nose and mouth, raisin irises, sausage ears, chicken hair and scramble egg beards.

Summer - Take 1

With this week's forecast, we are definitely into summertime!

Here are just a few pictures of our latest adventures. Obviously, this is just a snipit of what we've actually taken, but gives you an idea of what's goin' on!

Daddy's out of town this week, mission tripping with our Freshman in CO. So, we'll be sure to have more adventures this week while he's out workin' his little buns off!

Caleb gets some serious lookin' air while slip n slidin'

Josiah tries to keep up with ALL things his brother does, unfortunately, this often means owies for the little guy!

The boys enjoyed their first watermelon of the summer. Caleb has been asking me to buy one for the past 3 months, at least! They both thought it was an awesome treat.
