Bruno

This was bruno 2 weeks ago-he is already so much bigger!

Isaiah's birthday

Okay, this is not the cake after Isaiah got it. This was the layer that went between the bottom and the bear. But the directions were not that good and it was really hot that day and.....smash.


Let me at the bear!!


MMMMMMMMMMMM.....cake!

Elijah's birthday

Mackinac Island

Dan and I at the couple's conference on Mackinac Island. This was also our 11th anniversary. We had a fantastic time!

Breakfast anyone?

Elijah overheard Dan asking if I could make pancakes and before I got the chance my assisant was on it.

First popsicle

Isaiah's first popsicle, but you can see Dan is giving it to him...on the couch! I guess that is just one reason why we got stain guard.



I think he likes it-what a cute smile

Why the helmet??

Now don't get me wrong, this isn't a bad idea....but again with the girl things.

Easter

Well, 3 of them made it for picture time. You guessed it...Ashley was TOO SLOW :)

Isaiah

Elijah

Is he a cool dude or what? Except he is wearing Ashley's sunglasses!




I think he is trying to wink at me

Who do they look like?

Dumb cats

Harley is sleeping on a pile of clean clothes, but this is so cute because they never get this close to one another!

The zoo

I was sick so Dan got ambitious and took all the kids to the walk-thru zoo in birch run.

Let's make music!

The boys just love to make beautiful "music"

Dan's brother came to visit for a few days.

Kids halloween costumes

Fireman Elijah


Isaiah the monkey


Ashley the scarecrow


Hanna the table for two

Deer

Hanna spotted 3 deer in the field behind our house. We were all outside in the freezing cold checking them out.

kids and Isaiah

Self portrait

Isaiah

Elijah was eating chocolate and decided to give Isaiah a big kiss while he was sleeping. Next thing you know he wakes up with chocolate all over his face...........




And that is why Isaiah always looks so concerned

Locks of Love

Ashley got her hair cut for locks of love on 7-28-07. she donated 12 inches, and I decided to get mine cut too so I donated 10 inches. A few days after this we found out Dan's mom has cancer.

Swimming in Frankenmuth

Elijah is like a fish, he loves to be in the water. He's been out in the boat with my dad swimming and tubing already.


Towel boy


Isaiah is impressed with the pool


Isn't that a handsome German woman!!

What a bunch of chickens....or something.




If you've even been to Frankenmuth you know there is a cool fountain in downtown. Not sure you're supposed to stick your head in it but tell that to a 2 year old who loves to be wet.
