Pictures

Check out www.whitneyjillphotography.smugmug.com/ once you get that up click on galleries and you will find all the pictures she took Friday of our kids. She is amazing! I would recommend her to any of you guy who are looking for a photographer. She is also very reasonable compared to the $100 sitting fee some people charge ( Don't quote me on this but I think she is right around $30) Her phone number is 616-502-7837.

Weekend Update

Rileigh and Luke found a bunny nest this afternoon and decided that they need to save there lives b/c one of there siblings got run over with a lawn mower. The bunny that Rileigh is holding she named Rascal. We did make them put them back and we will have to see if the mom comes back for them. I had a hard time telling her that we need to leave them alone so there mother will come back for them, hopefully next time they find creatures they will just look and not touch. How hard is that for a couple 6 year olds!

Derick showing off for the girls! Check out those Abs!!!

I showed the girls how to do hand stands against the wall like her mom and Auntie did! Don't you just love the picture of me and my sisters! (I am on the left, Tami is on the right doing the head stand next to me and Melissa is just sitting there! )

Rileigh up to bat at her game on Saturday. She had a couple good hits and she even got a girl out at 3rd base!

Whitney's Blog

Make sure you check out Whitney's Blog soon! She just put on some of the pictures she took today on my kids. We were not planning on getting picture of Annika and Rileigh but they turned out so cute anyways and she did a great job hiding one of Annika's High School Musical shirts!

It happened to Me!

I hesitate to blog this but on the other hand if it can save just one person from going through what Tyler and I went through today it is worth it.

Today we went to our friend Whitney's house to take some pictures of Tyler and ended up staying for lunch. We were enjoying a " Pizza Picnic" on the deck when Tyler started to fuss so of course I take him out of the car seat and hold him. Whitney and I started to pick up so I set Tyler in his car seat and of course he was not to happy, so I went to grab the car seat and take him inside ( now mind you he is not buckled now) as I picked him up the handle it must not have been locked in place and he went tumbling out on to the deck!!!! By the grace of God he was not seriously hurt but of course both of us were shook en up!

This whole scenario almost happened with Annika when she was little but she was buckled up, so I knew better! But of course I was in a hurry and never thought twice about it. So the reason I post this is to remind everyone out there with babies PLEASE buckle them up before you move the carrier even a few feet or take your baby out. I would hate to have someone get seriously hurt.

I will post some of the pictures she took once I get the cd.

Under Construction!

Last night the plumbers started breaking up the concrete so they can put a bathroom in our basement. After a few hours with a sledge hammer and a shovel this is what it looked like!

Rileigh's FIeld Trip

OutDoor Discovery Center!

I told you a ton has been going on since I last posted (hence all the post's today!) Last we Tuesday I was able to go on a Field Trip with Rileigh's class to the Outdoor Discovery Center in Holland and then to Timber Town in Zeeland for a Picnic Lunch and Play time! We had great weather and the kids had a ton of fun learning about animals and where they live.

Play Ball

Rileigh is once again playing softball through Georgetown Little League, this year she has the best couch in the world! Her dad! Derick has been enjoying coaching her team so far and each game is amazed at how much they have improved since the prior game! One of the benefits of your husband being the coach is that if there are any extras ( shirts, snacks at the end of the game) Annika gets them! Annika thinks she is so cool wearing her softball shirt around on game day, this is about the only way I get her to take off one of her High School Musical shirts!

Tyler's Baptism

Well life has been very busy over here the last few weeks between getting ready for Tyler's baptism, softball games, field trips, trips to Indiana and garage sales the last few weeks have gotten away from me. Tyler was baptised on April 20 , Pastor Don was able to perform the baptism and for that we were so thankfull! Our brother in law Jon sang "He know's my Name" and did just a fantastic job!! What a wonderfull day that we were able to share with our family and friends! God is Good!
