Moving Blog....

Hey,

If anyone (other than Heather!) reads this I just want you to know I am moving this over to Xanga. Here is the link.

Deja Vu....

It's been a long time! We had some problems with our desktop computer, but now we are back up and running! I need to share our latest adventure with you all! We had another trip to the ER a couple of weeks ago that was eerily similar to another visit we had a little over a year ago. We were at a party at church, when Brinlee tried climbing up into a bar stool and ended up pulling it down on herself. When we saw all the blood we decided it warranted a trip downtown. After a 3 hour wait, we finally were put in the same room we were in when Tanner got his stitches. Ironically, both Tanner and Brinlee needed the stitches above the same eye. Very weird! Anyhow, all is healed now, and you can't see any scar since it was right in the eyebrow. Hope everyone has a blessed Easter!

More pictures....

Brenton got a strike!!!
We bought her this little make up kit this weekend. It is all she wants to do now!!

Sledding Pictures

Here are some pictures of our sledding adventure last Sunday, up at the school where Yaya teaches. Brinlee decided twice down the hill was enough for her. After she hit the jump, she chose to watch a movie in the van!

Disney On Ice...

We all went to see Disney on Ice, Monsters Inc. last night. Opening night tickets were $10.00, so what we saved there we more than made up for in snacks. $25.00 for 3 popcorn and 2 pops, WOW! Enjoy the pictures!

Another visit to the ER.......

We had to run Tanner down to the DeVos Children's Hospital last night.....yep, up the nose. A green milk chocolate one. I asked him what possessed him to stick it up his nose. His response, "I just didn't like that one".

Day at the beach!

We decided to head to Grand Haven this weekend to show the kids Lake Michigan in the winter. It was so cold and would you believe I left Tanner's coat at home!!! I put the kids in their snowpants for the ride down, but just threw their coats in the van. Evidently, I thought I had grabbed Tanner's, but you needn't worry. Tanner was warm as can be, wearing my coat. I modeled a very trendy "Incredible Hunk" throw over my shoulders! It is hard to believe we will be camping there in 5 months, riding bikes and swimming in the lake. We finally got a site for over the 4th of July across from the lake. We are so excited! We plan on having a retirement party for my dad (and possibly mom) while we are there and Brinlee's 3rd B-day party. Anyway, Brenton has to do a project for the Art and Science Fair next month. He picked "photography" for the catagory he is entering. We thought this would be a neat place to try to get a picture. He did take a couple, but said he is planning on taking a picture when we go to Disney on Ice and using that. I prefer the lake picture, but I guess the picture of Disney on Ice is better than the picture he wanted to use of his gatorade. Crazy kid!

After church on Sunday, we went to lunch at my all time favorite place, Moe's, and then got some ice cream. We went to a new place that I had buy one get coupons for; Marble Slab Creamery. It was just like Cold Stone. It was yummy, but of course, the grown ups were the only ones to finish their cones!

One of the shots Brenton took of the frozen waves and pier.
