ZCS Zip 5k

Brooke and I ran the ZCS Zip 5K last week Saturday. We had a great time running/walking together. Corey and the girls were there to cheer us on, which was fun. I was a little worried that Brooke would not make it the whole way due to cramps (which she gets when she runs). I was going to push her the whole way because I knew she could do it if she was feeling good. Well news to me she was pushing me the whole way!! We finished in 43.15 minutes - not to bad for walking part of the way. We will be doing it again next year so hopefully improve on our time. I better keep running :)

Before the race. At the half way point. Notice Kenzie running with me in the back. She was so upset that she could not run with us. Well she ran with me for three feet and fell on the ground. Enough said :)Finish line!!!!FINISHED!! Enjoying our drink and food. Notice my face is bright red and Brooke looks like it was no work at all. Oh to be young again.

Art Prize Winner and My Girls

The Art Prize winner this year was a Freedom Village doing face drawings. I took the girl's to get each of theirs done. I framed them and hung them in the toy room. Brooke really enjoyed doing this since she went to Art Prize this year and seen his drawing.

Tulip Time

Tulip Time for us this year consisted of one night of taking picture's and the Wednesday parade. The girls were happy that they got cotton candy and never asked to go back downtown again.

Mother's Day

I had a great Mother's Day this year. We celebrated with the Tubergan family on Friday and the De Vries family party was canceled. We had the whole day at home with the family. We picked up pizza for lunch which was nice and easy. I got a nap in while Corey and the girls went to the garden to work. After they got home they gave me their gifts. Brooke had a scavenger hunt for me which was candy. Kenzie and Brooke gave me flowers that they did in school. Corey gave me money towards a necklace with the girls names on. I have a few picked out I just need to decided and order it. Since we didn't have to go any where at night we decided to head to Grand Haven to walk the pier. We planned on only walking half the pier but it was such a nice day we walked the whole way. The girls were hungry after their long walk and wanted supper. We told them they could have ice cream for supper and they just looked at us like really. The girls are still talking about having ice cream for supper and asking when they can have it again for supper.

Let the Planting Begin

Corey started the garden last week. He took Brooke and Kenzie with him to "help" plant. Brooke just loves being out there planting, weeding, and picking. Kenzie just loves to get dirty while at the garden. We said that we were going to scale down this year, but it's about the same size as last year. I just can't wait for those fresh veggies and fruit this summer.

This is Kenzies little garden that she planted.
