Traverse City Fun





































We went up to the Traverse City area again for our annual trip with the Sever's. The weather cooperated although it wasn't really warm enough to hang out on the beach. That didn't seem to stop Sophie as her and Jeremy jumped in the freezing cold Lake Michigan. We also brought the kids cherry picking, swimming, wine tasting aka sparkling juice, and visited some friends of the Sever's that have 2 lambs as pets. It was neat to see them just run free by us like 2 dogs. Here are some pics from our trip.

Family Fair at Addams
















This May we attended Sophie's Family Fair at her school. It was alot of fun despite the weather raining and having to move everything inside! I was involved in the prize room this year and next year have volunteered to run the prize room. This entails picking the prizes, ordering them, setting up the room, and making sure all goes smoothly. Not sure what I have gotten myself into! Wish me luck:)

Also, our neighbor gave Sophie some fish that she didn't want anymore. She is very proud of them and tells ANYONE how many she has, what kind they are, what they eat, and that she has a snail as well.

Field Day
















I went up to Sophie's school to check out Field Day and take some photos. The whole school was divided into teams of red, white, and blue. They had so many events, fun ones too, not like the boring ones I remember from my day. It was also more teamwork related which was nice to see. I think Sophie's favorite events were the sponge pass and the tug of war. They finished the day with popsicles which I think was her overall highlight!

Memorial Day












This year for Memorial Day we went to a little parade in Beverly Hills. We ran into some friends of ours and their kids. Sophie and Ella shown above LOVED all the candy they were throwing. They were jumping up and down like crazy and kept moving down the road from us. We had to keep getting them as they didn't know they were even drifting away. It was quite funny to watch. It was also nice to see Sophie sharing with others. If someone near her didn't get a piece, she would share hers with them. Then we went to BW3 that night for my birthday dinner. The kids loved it and were very well behaved!

Ave does the cutest things!

This past week, I went to get Avery up for the morning. He doesn't usually cry, so I just go in when I am ready for the day. Makes it ALOT easier to get going in the morning, when I am already ready! So I opened his door, but he didn't see me come in as his back was to me. I peeked into his crib and he was arranging his little Grover stuffed animal along his crib bumper. He then proceeded to cover it up with his little lovey blanket. Then he took Gloworm and tried to tuck him in the same way. He then decided this isn't what he wanted to do. Soooo...he picked up Gloworm and hugged it to his chest, just like he snuggles with me, and started to pat Gloworm on the back. Too cute!
