Josiah the pie maker

Tonight Josiah and I made blueberry in the snow dessert. He refers to it as blueberry pie. He couldn't wait to call his Nana and find out if she likes blueberries. She is coming to babysit on Wednesday and will have dessert waiting for her.

Blueberry picking

This morning the boys and I went to pick blueberries for the first time. My mom came with us. Josiah did a great job and filled his bucket right up. Isaac on the other hand stood there and ate everything he picked. He left saying, "I got a ouchy tummy." He had no berries in his bucket when it came time to weigh them.

Coast Guard Run

Today was the Coast Guard Festival Run. Dan and our friends, Jer and Abby ran the 10K. I ran (mostly jogging and walking) the 5k with our friend Bill. Then the boys and I ran the family fun run. They enjoyed running in a race setting for the first time. Then they went and did the tot trot obstacle course with their cousin Max. Afterward we enjoyed breakfast at the Dee-lite in Grand Haven and some time at the Grand Haven Beach.

Our friends are in town!!

My friend Diane and her family are in Holland for a visit. They live in Washington D.C. We are so happy to hang out with them while they are here. Hard to believe London is 9 years old already, and Cyrus is 5. The kids enjoyed having them in town. We took a trip to Tunnel park one day, and this picture is from Crazy Bounce. My boys really liked Crazy Bounce! This is London and Josiah coming down the shark slide.

Hey mom, look what fits up my nose.

Tonight I had dinner with some of my high school friends. They bring there kids and we eat at a park and the kids play. So Isaac feels the need to entertain everyone and decides to stick a grape up his nose. He looks at me as if to say ha-ha everyone is laughing at me. Luckily, I could squeeze it out. I am sure all the other mothers are thinking while laughing at him, he better not give my kids any ideas. Isaac has tried things Josiah has never even thought of, swollowing the penny and then there is our trip to Millenium Park. You'll have to ask me about that story in person. Oh Isaac we love you.

Family Fun Day

We had a great time spending the day with Nana (dan's mom) in Grand Haven. Spread the Music foundation puts on a Family Fun Day for the kids. We played lots of games and won all kinds of cool new stuff. The candy, pop and whistles are the favorites. We love the new shirts they were handing out. Josiah loved the cool car show and Isaac loved the train ride. Mommy and Nana enjoyed the ice cream.

July 4th Camping Weekend

One tired boy.......

So much fun to be had in a day! Isaac fell asleep at the doorway of our house, it was only 5pm, and we couldn't wake him. He is go, go, go, all day long. As I look at this picture now, I see he also wet his pants. I didn't notice that at the time.
