Happy 4th Birthday, Allison

Allison blowing out her candle!Showing off her magnetic doll!
Our friends and family together for Alli's birthday.

Our dear Allison turned 4 while on vacation. We saw the sites and sounds of the National Cherry Festival during the day. That evening, good friends of mom and dad came over to grandma's for dinner. Alli wanted pizza (that we got at Grumpy's in TC) and frosted brownies for desert!

She received a Dora mermaid doll, a Beachbums baseball team shirt, a magnetic doll, lacing bears, and a book.

We all had a great day!
We love you dear Allison Rose!!

It's Almost Painted! A small House Update!


The Back room is painted blue. I love it and it will go nicely with the quilt my mom made for us.

The front room is primed and the ceiling has one coat. I will post pictures tomorrow.

Eric will finish up early this week. We will have to paint the trim, the doors, put up house numbers, and order carpet. I can truly say, the light is at the end of the tunnel!! :)

Jake Scores Again!

Jake made his first goal for this season.

We are so proud of him!! We won this game as well. 5-2

Of course, I didn't get a picture of the goal! Oh well, mom was actually watching the game and not fussing over the camera!

Becca's New Do!


Becca found some sissiors in the basement and cut a chuck of hair from the side of her head. She is a little sneeky peat! She tried throwing the hair away. Uncle Eric and I found some in 2 different spots on the basement floor and then a little on the kitchen floor. It is hardly noticable.

Needless to say, all sissors are out of reach for everyone!!
