Cousin Tye

Emma and Tye know how to make fun happen when they are together! Fishing in the creek.
Look at this fishing pole!
Going on a bear hunt. Be careful!

Duck

Jackson finished his Duck swimming class. Daddy did the swimming with him. I was on watch/photo duty!
Kicking his legs above the water! He certainly beats to his own drum!
A crash into the wall will get a big smile out of him!
And a slide into the water. He was givien his certificate for participation in the end!

Sea Turtle

Emma just completed her first swimming class without mommy or daddy in the pool with her.
Here is her back float like a starfish!
She can swim back to the wall with out help! She is wearing a swimming belt.
Another perfect starfish! Her report card said, "Emma is a joy to teach!" A proud moment for her parents. We just pray all her teachers can say that!

House Shots

My little chef. Who cares that it's purple! He's having a great time.















Bath time is always a fun time!









Who's ready for spring? It's been a long, cold winter. We did get a good snow last week, so we did get to have some more fun playing in the snow.

Michigan Snow

Emma had fun outside in the snow with Grandma. With all the snow that was coming, we had to cut our trip short to make sure we didn't get snowed in.


This is Rudolph the Snowman, made by Greg, the kids and I. Decorated by Emma and Grandma. He stood about 6 feet high. We didn't mess around!

Classic toys

Star Wars and Micro Machines are some of the classic toys that hold my kids interest at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Thanks Donnie for keeping your old toys around!

Winter Fun

Emma built up the courage to ride Grandpa's big tractor with him.
As much as Jackson loves tractors, he wasn't too sure of them when they were running.

After playing on all the tractors in the barn, we actually took them out for a ride around Grandma and Grandpa's property.
