Its been a while.

I just looked at my blog and realized it has been a month since I posted anything. Wow, that is bad for me. I have been into facebook these days, thanks Rachelle!!!!! I just haven't got around to posting anything. So I did today, and its a months worth, Enjoy!

Orchard Hill

Every fall since the girls were 6 months old, we go to Orchard hill before Hallowen. It is on 68th and Hannah Lake. It isn't big, but they have a lot for the kids. They always have an albino deer, and deer that love to eat right out of your hand. A small hayride, but it is nice. We went last weekend with the girls for a few hours and we came home and looked at the last few years, and can't believe how big they are getting. It is mond boggling.

Happy birthday Ethan....

Last weekend we went to our cousins #3 birthday party, and there was face painting. The girls loved it. This is them with Ethan.

twin tattoo

They girls went to a birthday party last week and got heart tattoos. Well I have a twin tattoo on the top of my foot, so they will always be in my footsteps. They always say they want one like mine. The girls decided to have matching heart ones as well with different colors. I told them when they are older they can get one like mom and we will all match, but for now this will do.

Play n' Pray

We have a new kids program at church called Play n' Pray. It is for ages 4-10 and meets e/o Wed. It is perfect because my choir is also on Wed. They love it. Last week the topic was "ANGELS." How do you view an angel? Emma said it has wings, and Grace said it is above the clouds. They then made angel costumes. This is what they came up with. There vision of angel....

Happy birthday to me...

When you get older sometimes the best gifts are priceless. My dad came over with flowers and then insulated our garage for a weekend while we were at a wedding in Charlevoix. It was the best. It has made a huge difference. Now we just have to paint it. Thank you Dad and Connie. My mom and randy helped me with my down payment on my new Acadia, and Corys mom made me the coolest purese ever. I couldn't ask for more.

cute purse.....

My mother in law is in a purse making mode, and they are super cute. She made one for my cousin and I loved it, so I went fabric shopping and picked out my own fabric and she made it for me for my birthday. This is a picture of my cousins, mine has a little more vibrant pattern with the blues, browns, orange and reds....She sells them for $45. They are the cutest things ever. If you are interested let me know. We went fabric shopping a few weeeks ago for different styles, and theya re awesome.

lazy day...

We went up to the cottage af ew weeks ago to take out the dock and Sea Doo. It was cold and rainy, so we ended up having a lazy day, which was nice. Papa gets a little belly, Nana colored with Emma, I took a nap with Bluez, and Emma made a "family picture." It was nice.

Lets take pictures...

We were sitting around the house one Sunday afternoon and Gracie said mommy, lets take pictures! I'll go get dressed, about 5 minutes later she comes up in her "GO GO" outfit. For Christmas a few years ago, Corys mom made the girls dress up clothes to play with and this is one of them. Well two yeras ago it was big, now it is a little smaller. So I snapped a few fun pics. I showed Cory and he said, great we are so screwed in about 10 years...... she definitely has the look!
