Mommy's Boy

Me with my big 4 year old boy! I love you, Samuel!

First Day of Soccer!

We signed Samuel up for a "Tiny Tots" soccer program through the City of Kalamazoo.  Today was the first day and he wasn't so sure about it!  It's a good thing Mommy can be out of the field with him!!

Aliyah's Dollhouse

This sweet girl loves playing with her dollhouse . . . and I love to watch her play with it!  She often will ask Daryl or I if we will play with her.  It is her favorite thing to do lately.

Aliyah's 2 year pictures!

These first few pictures are a couple from July . . . .

And then we finally got around to doing her 2 year pictures . . . in July! But what a beautiful setting (and a gorgeous girl) - Straits State Park in St Ignace, MI. :)

Labor Day Weekend {Day 5} - cramming a lot of fun into the last day!

We rode our bikes into town to celebrate Samuel's birthday with ice cream cones!

We had a tiny site for the 7 of us! We used every square inch of the space . . . and you had to be careful where you were walking so you didn't trip or fall over anything!

camping knees :)

The beauty of being in the campground after pretty much everyone else leaves - free firewood!

Both girls sound asleep after our ride back to the campground from getting ice cream

My beautiful Mom :)

That s'more got a two thumbs up from the birthday boy!

Hope thinks they are pretty yummy too!
