and... the pinata!

A blind swing from Micah!










Ben's turn.












Lining up for the fun...















Micah's buddy Tai.

Jacob whacks it!
Micah had a cool art creation to give to Michael and me... he also enjoyed unwrapping it. :)

Taylor and the black kitten. They were passed around!

A backyard full of fun!


Micah, showing off his artwork.

party time!

Last night, we had a great time at Micah's End-of-year Party... food, fun, a pinata and prizes. What more could a preschooler ask for?

Actually, the visiting kittens were probably the biggest hit with the kids.
Miss Kristi, readying the pinata... very brave!


family photos













Dressing up for a Micah's party last night, we decided to snap a couple of family pics...

Memorial Day at Nana's

it was a perfect beach day...
and we were a bunch of beach bums!


we also got to visit with Lily, who just celebrated her 1st birthday! Happy Birthday, Lily!
The boys are always handy for "helping" with the wrapping paper.

fun at the Peoples'


trying to stay cool in the heat over the weekend...


Micah always enjoys watering the garden.

Maya had a blast "catching" the water that Jacob was squirting for her

girls weekend away 2006

this year we went up to Boyne... it was just perfect!
lazy, crazy fun.
a little shoppy-shoppy.
the Morel Festival in Boyne City.
way to much to eat and drink, as usual.
the perfect get-away.




















I even "cooked" dinner for the girls... had to get a shot of that just to prove it was true. :)

happy anniversary!

Michael and I celebrated 9 years together on May 17... he brought home a beautiful bouquet, and I treated him to dinner at the Arboreal Inn. It's been a great ride... here's to many more fabulous years together!

finally... beach day!






i was finally able to upload a few pics from a trip to the beach last week... we had a great time throwing the frisbee and running around in the sand. can't wait 'til it's even warmer! (believe it or not, Jacob hasn't been in the Lake yet this summer... last year it was Easter and he was in!)

Micah and Olivia at Kristal's surprise graduation party... popcorn!

Congratulations, Kristal!
Aaron, Heather and the party girl of the hour!
Jacob found much enjoyment and not a lot of socialization in the basement, playing Star Wars on Garry's playstation.
