Emily and Brandon's Party

Last night we had a big celebration for Emily (Young) and Brandon Dilworth! They got married one year ago today WAAAY up in the U.P. So they decided to have a big wedding celebration with all their friends and family down state on their anniversary! It was a really nice celebration! I forgot my camera for the reception part, but the after-party was at our house! It was so nice to see some old high school friends (I must say we all look pretty dang hot for being 10 years out of high school!) ! Many congrats to Brandon and Emily. We had a great time with you guys last night.... I wish you didn't live 8 hours away!!!!! :(

Kate and Megan!

Here is a rare shot! Megan and I were both at our husband's softball games (their teams played eachother!) and we snapped a shot! I didn't get any good pictures of the game though!

New Daycare Baby!

Last week a brand new baby (5 weeks!) started at my daycare. Her name is Hollie Marie and she is just precious! The other kids love her too! The little girls are natural little mommies... and they are great helpers!

Fun at the Fair!

Every summer my parents take the kids to the Ionia Free Fair. We stopped at BK for dinner on the way there, went on some cool rides, got cotton candy, saw lots of animals, and sat on the tractors. We even stopped at McDonald's for ice cream on the way home! We all had a really fun time, and the weather was just perfect! Thanks, Mom and Dad, for the great tradition and the great night!

No more CRIB!!!

For the first time in 6 years, the crib has been converted into a toddler bed! We have never been able to do this before, because I always had another baby that needed the crib. But now that Tyson can climb in and out like a pro, we finally took down the rail. It was kind of sad, but not really! He's still my baby, even in his big boy bed!!

The Best Weekend of the Summer!

We just had our 2nd Annual Friends and Family Camping and Tubing Trip, and it was another success! We and our friends have been looking forward to this weekend all year long (and planning it as well!). We camped at Henning Park in Newaygo and tubed down the Muskegon River on Saturday. The weather somewhat cooperated with us! It wasn't super hot and sunny (which you may not believe after seeing Bryan and Brad's sunburn! I guess you CAN burn through the clouds!), but it didn't rain. We were chilly at times, but the sun peeked out a bit and warmed us up. With this group of people, it doesn't matter what kind of weather we had... it is just guaranteed fun!! Great food, lots of great drinks, great friends, and GREAT TIMES!!!

We love Payton!!

Last week my precious little niece Payton came to visit. She is so cute and such a sweetheart! I wish she didn't live so far and we could have her stay over more often! It is so nice to see the friendship between Payton and Rylee too! I never had any girl cousins close to my age, so I am so happy Rylee has a girl cousin and good friend all in one!! We all went next door to Aaron's house and jumped on his trampoline with every ball we could find! Then we came back and rode bikes on the driveway and even took a little dip in the pool! We enjoyed Payton so much!! :)
