Movie night at the Villages!

At the Villages behind our house the had a movie night to come watch Kung Fu Panda which happens to be one of our family faves! We had great weather and a fun time! Snacks, Movie and family!

sticky lips and painted toes!

Julia had her first dum dum sucker this week and she smelled like butterscotch the rest of the day!
SO FUNNY!!!!Her toes we so pretty she had to taste them!

She is making me laugh daily!

Fun With Paint!

When John Michael was younger I had a hard time letting go and allowing him to get messy. Now, that is not a problem. We get messy all the time and have fun doing it and I must say. . .I am happy to have let go of that control. The kids have a great time. Today we painted with our feet and then played around to let the leaves get stuck. They had a ball and so did I. HAPPY SUMMER!

Detroit Zoo!

The week of Dylans birthday we decided to buy a family pass to the zoo and it was GREAT! It was the first time the kids had gone and I am so glad we can go whenever we want. The zoo is only 12 miles from our house so it is a great bennifit to being in Rochester Hills.

He thought this was SO COOL!

John loved the dinosaurs

Dylan and John

The day was long and Dylan had had enough but over all it was a good day!

Dylan Turns 3!

Dylan's 3rd birthday was July 9th. We celebrated at home with a giant Cookie cake. . .just like Dylan he was wearing frosting all over the place but. . .THATS DYLAN! We then went Saturday up to The Flint Childrens Museum to celebrate with our family and friends. THAT WAS PERFECT for Dylan. It was a great celebration!

It was a great birthday for him and wonderful memories for us all!

Happy 4th of July

The children and I headed up north while John went to Penn. for work. We left on Friday June 26th and John joined us that Monday. We stayed until the 4th and then returned home.

Here is John Michael thinking he is old enough to get his license. . .not quite yet boy!

Our friends Amy and Rudy joined us for a few days. . . Joslyn, John and Dylan were fine with the rocks. Julia was not!


These were their "tough" faces. I am sure Rudy's "tough" face is more intimidating when in uniform.

And this is my car! I WISH! John had it for 6 days as he drove it to Penn. for the car show. I would buy it if we could put 3 kids in it!
