Anniversary Party

This weekend I threw (in combo with my grandparents) a surprise anniversary party for my parents. We went to a new fondue place in Novi. The food was interesting and we had a great time. I think Deagan loved it the most, we couldn't stop him from dipping!

Mmmmm....Brynn is that yummy?

love you;)

Lovin' the Fondue

Deagan was obsessed with the cheese fondue

Ring My Bell

We made them kiss about a hundred times, by ringing our wedding bells on the table. Olivia thought it was hillarious!

Olivia look at the camera please....

We had matching skirts on....

Us

Great Grandpa and Deagan

He was explaining how someday Deagan will have hands as big as his!

Cutting The Cake

I actually found their cake knife from 30years ago:)

Who is Walking Whom?

Deagan just wants to be BIG

Big Brother Helper

This car has been the best investment in a toy that we've ever made! Olivia used it at Deagan's age, and still loves it! Deagan rides in it daily....

Sweet Love!

Sleepy Stella

Stella and Deaga

Deagan insists upon coming out with us each and every time that Stella has to go (like 20 times a day). And he always wears his alligator boots. TOO CUTE!
These were from when she was just 8wks old and three inches shorter....

too tired!

Us on the Ferris Wheel

At the top...the way top! They were NOT scared at all!

Olivia doing flips on the bungee thing

We were at the fairgrounds and she went on the bungee bouncey thing....with one instruction she was doing flips!

*HaPpY 30th AnNiVeRsArY*

Thirty years ago today my parents got married! THIRTY YEARS!!!! I am very proud to say that in today's society they are celebrating their 30th anniversary. It's an amazing accomplishment and what an example to set for me and my children!
I love you guys:)

Little Moments

Every night I have the pleasure of putting Deagan to bed. Not that no one else will do it, but I don't want to share it. It's one of the best parts of my day. Deagan is about 20 months now, and still loves to be rocked before bed. It's our little moment together that we share.
Well lately he loves to draw it out a bit. I'll rock and rock, then ask him if he's ready to go in his bed....and he'll say "no, momma, rock!" So I rock and rock and rock, and we go back and forth about bedtime and rocking.
For the last year and a half, every night I sing to him "You are my sunshine." And tonight he actually started singing back. He got about every fourth word. It was amazing. To hear your little baby, all curled up on you quietly singing in your ear. It's the sweetest sound. And I'll cherish it forever! ..."pease no tate shun shine way..."
:)

Yes, I will post pictures soon!

Hello everyone! Just wanted to say sorry for the lack of pictures....since I've been out of school things have been super crazy. And I don't have access to computers with all the programs twice a week anymore!
So here's the update in a nutshell:
We are closing on a house on June 8th.
We have a new puppy, Stella, a great dane.
Olivia is riding a big girl bike with training wheels.
I graduated photography school.
Jeff is working at Quicken now.
Deagan has grown leaps and bounds in speech, mobility and height!
He got his second haircut of all time last week.
We went on a vacation to Holland for Mother's Day- to the tulip festival.
We camped in a rustic cabin and it was SUCH A GREAT TIME!
The kids love "candy samiches" aka smores.

So I do have pictures of the house, the dog, the new princess' bike, the haircut, tulips, camping....and a ton more among my 250+ files that I have to download....in my spare time.

Oh yeah, and did I mention there is a wedding in six weeks...
:)

Jeff and Dad's New "Project"

My Dad and Jeff got a little ambitious this weekend and started building a deck on the front of the house....just a little one...look to the right and then they'll send it back around the side of the house too!
they're crazy.
But it's about time:) We've all wanted a deck for FOREVER:)
I'll keep you updated on the progress of this addition.
