Sword fight, anyone?

Every boy needs to live close to a cousin the same age - check out this fun! I only hope that Hailey will still let Jack come over after she sees this video...

Isn't it good to see that Kate still has some dance moves?

Happy Halloween!

I just got off of the phone with a friend and after harassing her about not having posted about her brand new twins (okay, how mean is that? TWO new babies and I want posts?), I decided I better update! Sooooo, Happy Halloween! And Juliet, and my sisters who always wants posts - this one's for you! :)

We had a great Halloween - lots of fun and lots of treats. Robert's brother was in town for the fun and it was great to have him visit. Enjoy the pics!

Water Rocket

We made a water rocket and launched Mr. Parachuteman! Totally fun.

Kate's got moves

We've been meaning to post this for a while - this is for all those Kate fans out there :) Although, she does get a little camera shy.

By the way - she gets these moves from Robert...

Fun in MI!

This weekend we met up with the Starkey's at the Dunes in MI and had a blast! The kids were in heaven, each having a playmate, we had some great laughs and we wore ourselves out having fun. It was super!

The crew at the top of the dune.

The view from the top of the dune. It's actually pretty big, see those little cars down there?

Not even the freezing water temperature could keep Annie and Katie out of the water - they loved it and had no problem with the cold temperature. The rest of us were not so brave.

Kate was a beach bum - the girl surprised us with an adventurous spirit. She liked the sand and it was funny watching her crawl around and play in it.

The old trees at the top are fun to play on and their shade creates some really cold sand to sit in - it was nice

Peter and Taylor were like two peas in a pod - they had a super time running around together

Annie and Katie were great buds too - there's a really cute picture of them on Amy's blog.

Here's the fam! Robert was reading up on the dunes and we've decided that next time we need to take a sled and try sledding down it...anyone interested?

It doesn't look as big in this picture as it feels, but it sure was fun!

Kate didn't want to miss out on the fun

Cute boys! They definitely had some funny moments over the weekend - they make great pirates

For the most part, Kate was very happy on the beach, she did not, however, like the cold water on her feet.

Pickle anyone?

Welcome Home!

My little sister Mary just got home from her mission to Hong Kong - it's super to have her home! It's been fabulous to hear about her experiences, hear her Chinese and all that good stuff - welcome back!
