Winter Fun Around the Yard

This is what the kids (including Jason - haha) do for fun around the yard after a good snowfall...you might have to look closely at the kids on the sled behind the snowmobile; it kind of looks like a big puff of snow - they love it! It's fun for me too...I might actually get to read a magazine or something......in peace. :)

Christmas Programs

Paige had a Christmas Choir program at school & Lacey had a Christmas program with her after school daycare - Little Lambs. They were both very nice. I suppose Kyle is getting too old for Christmas programs...:(

Lacey was SO excited to be there!

Mom & John (&Paige - interesting smile for her!?) ~

This is a picture of Paigey and her friends Brooke & Emma at Paige's school program. They are cute.

A Night in Kalamazoo

We all went to see Willy Wonka playing at the Civic in Kalamazoo last month. We walked through Bronson Park to see all the lights & decorations. It was a very nice night.

Happy Birthday Lacey!

I'm a little late on my posting, but here is a recap of Lacey's 5th Birthday - November 26th! Our youngest is 5 - where is the time going?! She's great and always has a smile on her face! The picture below she is listening to our friends sing her Happy Birthday - thank you Crissman family!

This is her outfit that she picked out and wore on her actual birthday, to go out for pizza.

Love it!

This is a picture from her birthday party. The party was at Jungle Joe's - you can see it's a facitlity with all blow-up slides & obstacle courses. She wanted to invite all her friends from school along with all her other friends & family. It was chaotic, but so much fun!

Let It Snow!

I have to say, if it's going to be cold, we'd rather have snow to go with the cold!

The kids have so much fun playing in the snow...especially on the first day!

Lacey and Aunt Missy built this yesterday - he got covered up so quickly with all the falling snow...you can't see his cute buttons & snow hat.

Halloween 2008!

What a wonderful day/night for the kids and trick-or-treating! They all had so much fun & recieved so much candy - what more could you ask for? This is the first year Kyle spent the evening walking around with friends - that was somewhat bittersweet. I am glad to see him socializing, but also miss him with us! We went through a neighborhood close to our house with some friends of ours...so much fun!

Paige was an '80's Diva' & Lacey was a Good Witch - isn't the blue eyeshadow awesome?

Kyle & his friends eating pizza as they were trick-or-treating! Can't get better than that! I keep telling him that he WILL grow! By the way, they went as 'Gothic Kids'...

Fall Fun

Now that the outdoor soccer season is over & Lacey's tennis/swimming are over, one would think we would have more time. I'm not really sure where it goes...we always seem to manage to fill our time with something - I suppose we wouldn't know what to do if we weren't busy!
I wanted to share a couple pics...



Of course I had to include a soccer pic of Paige - some may think we are obsessed with soccer as much as I talk about it...maybe we are??

This is funny, Lacey is learning how to put a diaper on her baby. She certainly was focused!
