Picture Day

Corey was gone last weekend golfing so I decided to take the girls pictures. I took Kristin along to help me out with the girls. The weather was not the nicest it started to rain as I left and when we got to Spring Grove Park there was a wedding. Thankfully the wedding was just getting done and it stopped raining so it all worked out well. Ashley was in no mood for her picture taken that day.

Kenzie's New Adventure - Preschool

Kenzie started Preschool last week. She will be going three afternoons a week. She was so excited to start school this year . She has seen Brooke go the last few years and she always has to go back home with me. Monday I went with her for a hour and she was a little nervous, but had fun. Wednesday was her first day by herself and I was so ready for her to cline to my leg like she does for Children in Worship and Sunday Sunday, but she surprised me!!! It's so much easier leaving her when she is having fun and not in tears. Before I bring her into her class we go visit Brooke on the playground and Brooke gives her a hug and Kenzie will say "time for me to go to school now" it's so cute. She loves coming home to show me everything that they did that day. Her teacher made a comment that "This school thing is for Kenzie" I think it will be a great thing for her.

We made this ABC box the first day. She loves doing crafty thing so this was right up her alley. She spent the whole time doing her box and didn't want to play with the other kids.

Back 2 School

I can't believe Brooke's a 2nd grader this year, time just flies by. We started our school routine again on Tuesday morning. We went to school on Monday to meet her teacher and bring her school supplies in. Of course it had to be in the 90's when they start school with no air conditioning in the rooms. They were treated with Popsicles on Tuesday to cool off a little bit. She was kind of disappointed that she didn't get the teacher she wanted and her good friend was not in her class this year. She has a great teacher this year. He plays the drums and guitar during class which they learn through songs. She came home the first day and had to show me an experiment that they did during a Bible lesson. I hope her class and teacher have a great year together.

Weekend at Home

Corey and I wanted to go camping for a weekend with just the two of us, but all the State Parks were full. I didn't want to spend much money so private campgrounds were out of the question. We decided to stay home and do things around here. Friday morning I wanted to sleep in so Corey went to work for a little while. We packed the boat up and went fishing in Grand Haven. I caught 3 fish and Corey caught 1. Yup if your keeping score that means I won!!! I had Corey take pictures so there was proof, but his truck got broke in on Monday night and they took his camera so there goes the proof. After fishing we ran a few errands, which included some Christmas shopping. We went to Crazy Horse for supper and then we sat by the channel at the beach until dark. It was so relaxing I don't know why we don't do that more often. Saturday we got up early and headed to Ludington with Brandon and Kristin for the day. The guys went golfing in the morning and us girls rode along with them. I don't think I laughed so much as I did during this golf game. After golf we went downtown and ate lunch at a Pub which was so good. We headed to the State Park and bought tubes and we floated down the river. It took like two hours and we didn't even make it to the lake Michigan. We hiked around Lost Lake before we headed out. We got home around 10:00 that night. Thanks to my parents for watch our girls last weekend. It was so nice to have some time to ourselves.
