Gymnastics

Brooklyn started a gymnastics class once a week. This is her first 'extracurricular' activity! She is SO excited.

Go TIGER'S GO!!

We tried to get tickets twice this year, and both games were sold out. At the end of the season we got free tickets to 2 games, given to us by some friends. How lucky! We had SO much fun. At one game, the boys got Bobble-heads, caught a foul ball AND the Tigers won, scoring more than 9 runs so we got to take our tickets the next day and get buy one get one FREE pizza....what could be better than that???

Our Family Vacation...

We usually go to Canada for about a month every summer. Since my parents were here last month we decided that we would stay here and see some sights in Michigan. We have lived here 8 years but every time we vacation, we leave the state! We had a great week. We stayed at the home of some friends in Traverse City and saw lighthouses and The Sleeping Bear Dunes National park. Then we drove down the beautiful west coast of Michigan and saw more white sand beaches and got to camp out. The best part of the trip was being so spontaneous. Aaron and I used to take spontaneous trips all the time. Life has become more structured with kids! It was a great way to relax and have fun. The weather was beautiful. It did rain once, but the kids were SO happy to find an indoor cosmic mini golf. There are no regrets from this trip. Only great memories.
