Christmas Tree Hunting 2007





Well, it's that time of year when we are so busy and the days go by so fast! This year I am trying to enjoy every day and really appreciate what Christmas is all about! I am getting started so late this year that the "old" me would get stressed out but I am really proud of myself! I will get all the shopping and baking done! The presents will get wrapped and my Christmas cards will go out before too long! This year I am looking at all that I have to be thankful for. I have faith in Christ Jesus! My boys are healthy and happy! I have a wonderful husband - even though I may be hard to live with sometimes- hence the "new" me! I have wonderful friends and family! What else could I ask for?!?! I hope you take time to enjoy all your many blessings and have a wonderful holiday season!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!











Another Halloween come and gone! What a beautiful night!! The kids did pretty well! Jacob is getting to the age where he really could care less if he was dressed up or not! The other boys were really into it!! They have a real sweet tooth so of course they were all about it!! We had a lot of fun and already talking about next year - who is going to be what! I'm sure it will be here before we know it!!

Fall Fest 2007

Here are the boys at our Annual Fall Fest through our church. It was a beautiful day and the boys had a lot of fun! They got to bob for apples, run through an obstacle course, paint pumpkins and dress two baby goats! They also got to go on a hay ride. It was a wonderful day to thank God for our many blessings with friends and fellowship!

All-Star State Championship!

Jacob was chosen to be on the 9-10 year old All-Star team which was an honor for him since he was the youngest on the team. He held his own with the big boys!! The team ended up losing their first game but then went on to win the next two. They lost in the quarter finals. They ended up taking fifth place in the whole state!!!!! I think that is a pretty awesome for a little league like White Lake!! They were going against kids that played all year together and from bigger cities like Grand Rapids and Detroit!! Go White Lake All-Stars!!!

Beautiful Fall Day Picking Pumpkins!


It was such a beautiful fall day! We went to Scholls Farms to look for pumpkins. We also got to play in the hay bales and BIG slide. Mom made us pose for photo ops (which Eli hated - as you can see!!) If only all days could be as beautiful as today!!

Camping Memorial Day Weekend!

We went on our Annual Memorial Day Weekend camping trip to Silver Creek in Silver Lake, MI. We had a lot of our friends there camping with us! There were about 10 different families there with us camping along with a few friends visiting. We had wonderful weather again this year! The kids have so much fun with their friends while the parents get some adult time together too!

Elijah having fun!!

Elijah started Kindergarten this year and absolutely loves it! He loves his teacher Ms. Verner. He is making new friends everyday! He loves to ride the bus and gets very upset with us if we pick him up or take him to school! He is a very passionate little boy. He is growing up to be a sweet and loving boy!!






Elijah played T-Ball for the first time this year and loved it!! It is finally his turn to play ball! He did very well! He started Kindergarten and loves it!! He doesn't understand why he can't go to school all day like the big boys, though. He had a fun summer, too. Aidan started Pre-school this year, too. He loves it!! He thinks he is such a big boy! He is still a very happy kid. Kevin and I have been blessed with these healthy and beautiful boys!!!

Jacob's Football Season











Jacob had a great year playing football. He's had a lot of fun and made a lot of new friends! He loves it! He averages about two touchdowns per game and switches between playing Running Back and Quarterback. He also started as a linebacker on Defense and loved it! He had a fun year!













This is the Battle of the Bridge game- Montague Vs. Whitehall. They won 34-0!!!! Go Wildcats!!
