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.

They Get it!!

I found this in Brooke and Kenzie's room this morning.

New Kitten's

When Corey took Whiskers home last year he picked out a girl cat. I said to him "Why a girl, because we will be having kitten's every year" Well just little less than a year we have baby kitten's. We thought she was pregnant, but not a 100% sure. Well sure enough three weeks ago she had 4 kitten's. Kenzie was so excited about the babies - she LOVES Whiskers. The were born on Kenzie's birthday party so everyone kept going outside to see how many were born. Kenzie is so proud of Whiskers that she is such a good mommy. If Whiskers is not with the babies she will go out and find Whiskers and tell her "your not a good mom" and brings her back to the babies. They are now three weeks old and their eyes are open and trying to stand. I got to admit that they are cute. We will be getting rid of them after six weeks so if you know anyone that wants a cat we have four of them.

Really - April 18????

Happy 5th Birthday Kenzie

Kenzie turned 5 last week Thursday. She was so excited that it was "her" day. She told me Thursday that she couldn't pick up or clean that day, because it was her birthday and you don't do that on your special day!! Leave it to Kenzie to come up with stuff like that. Kenzie choose to go to Russ' for supper on Thursday, just because she could get a milk shake. We celebrated with our family Thursday night and we had family over on Friday night for her party. She got a great birthday gift - Whiskers had kittens that night and she was SO excited and that's all she could talk about. Our lives would be so dull with us we didn't have Kenzie around the house.

Goodbye's

We had to say goodbye to some good friends last week. Our neighbors left to move back home to Oklahoma. They were only here for 7 months, but it seemed like we have known each other forever. We did so many fun things with them and their little girl played so well with my girls. There's nothing better than opening the garage door and having your friends right there. It was so hard to see them pack up the truck and leave. They live about 3 hours away from Kansas City so I'm trying to talk Corey into going down there this fall to visit them.

One last swing ride with Brooke

Hugs before they take off - so sweet.
