The boys are off to school

The boys started school last week. Josiah is in first grade this year...where has the time gone? He loves school and his new teacher Mr. Bateman. He rides the bus and is growing up before my eyes. We are so proud of him! Isaac has started kindergarten this year. He has the same teacher Josiah had last year. We love Mrs. McCormick, she is great with the kids. He will be the class clown!!! He is very young for kindergaten so we hope he adjusts well to it. Mom and Dad have already had some time to ourselves while the kids are off at school. We celebrated our 10 year anniversary by going golfing and out to lunch. We decided against taking a vacation and each got something new. Hint... mine is sparkly.

Catching up....

The house is quiet.....today is the first day of school. Pictures and details of that to come. For now, I am catching up with blogging. We took a trip to Frankenmuth Michigan about three weeks ago. We went camping at the yogi bear, and the main point of the trip was to spend the day with Thomas the Tank Engine. Isaac had such a good time. He really thought he was at the Island of Sodor. We had such a good time just our little family. The campground had an indoor pool. Shade for daddy, sun area for mommy. They both could ride their bikes (without training wheels) down the roads of the campground. We could walk to the downtown area of Frankenmuth. We even shopped for school clothes in Birch Run. So much fun!!

Michigan Adventure

We took a trip to Michigan Adventure back in August. We went to celebrate Grandpa Trap's birthday. The boys had a great time with their cousins, Max and Ross.

Sunday afternoon

The boys were watching a movie downstairs, when I went down there to check on them. It was quite....I couldn't find Isaac.....I looked and looked.....said to Josiah, where is Isaac.....in his room mom sleeping......I don't see him Josiah......he is in his room mom.......Josiah I don't see him, where is he.......sleeping mom.......where is he sleeping?......in his room mom.

Found him.....under the bed.

Help yourself...

This is what happens when you tell Josiah to grab himself a spoon. He was trying to eat with a giant serving spoon. This, just after I was thinking I should set out the bowls and let him serve himself the cereal in the morning.

Family Beach Pictures

We headed out to the state park today to take some family pictures. It was very windy, I couldn't control my hair. So most of the pictures of the four of us are not that great. Also, I forgot to take my sunglasses off for half of the pictures. With a little editing some of them are okay. We will try again in the fall.

Few more vacation pics
