Book Worms

I hope that our kids like to read this much when they are older. They both sat here for at least a half hour "reading" together.

The Big Game

The big game was last night.

The Western vs. Central rivalry played out on ESPN 2 with us and some friends watching in the comfort of a warm house. It would have been great to see the game live in Kalamazoo, but the 36 degree snowy night would not have been so wonderful.

After a close game the entire time, some interesting plays and even more interesting calls by the refs, Western lost the big event...although did not get slaughtered this year as anticipated.

We still love our team...Go Broncos!

Cousins

We were able to spend some time with family this weekend. We had a nice time...Lauren always loves to see Abby! Here are a few pictures of the cousins...

Trick or Treating

Fun! Fun! Fun!

Lauren has been asking us to blow up her ball pit (A wonderful present from Christmas her first year!) and we kept telling her that we would blow it up when it was colder outside. Well, the cold weather is here! We spent the evening blowing it up and here are a few pictures from the first trip in...

Time Flies

I thought that this "stay at home mom" thing was supposed to be a little more laid back and relaxed than the "rush around and always get ready for school" thing. I have not found this to be true! It is already Thursday night and I have not found time to blog yet this week. I am realizing that now that I am home, I just find other ways to keep myself (and my family) extremely busy. I just hosted my first Beauti Control Spa this evening and really enjoyed myself. Just another thing to fill up the days...I promise that I will post more pictures of the kids soon!

Family Pictures

We had family pictures taken this weekend. I think that it was the first time in about 6 years that this has taken place... everyone was looking at the camera AND smiling (atleast for this shot!) What a miracle!


We cannot believe that Andrew is 6 months already. What a little man!
