Fall Fun.

Laney Rose started preschool & she LOVES it! Finally it is her turn to go to school, she was so ready. She walked into the classroom on the 1st day without even looking back. I had to ask her to come back to give me a hug & kiss. We are so proud of her. 

What a blessing you are "bug"

 We LOVE you our BIG Preschooler!

Jonah's 1st day of kindergarten just so happened to fall on our 8th anniversary. It was a bit of an emotional day for me, just looking back over the last 8 years and realizing how much has changed and our our family has grown. feeling the love.

Happy 1st Birthday Miles "THUNDER" Carlson!

(He was 1 on August 1st)  We are so in love with our 100 lb. pup, He brings many more smiles to our days.

Ludington 2011 was a success!  I am  proud to officially call us a camping family.  This was our 2nd time camping as a family (in a tent too) and we LOVE it. I must say it is a lot of work but well worth the memories that are created.  We woke up each morning with the rising sun and ended each day at the beach watching the sun fall into the big lake. The kids enjoyed ridding bikes & swimming all day long. Jonah learned how to skim board & even enjoyed his fist catamaran ride. 

I praise God for the beauty of Northern Michigan.

 Happy 4th of July!

We enjoyed a fun filled weekend with lots of swimming, boating, fireworks, food, and wonderful friends & family.
We are very proud of Laney, she is officially a swimmer! She is now jumping off the diving board, swimming to the shallow end at grandma & grandpa Millers with no swimmies. The kids are both growing up so fast, I enjoy watching them grow & change into little people. The things they do & say crack us up. Jonah is starting Kindergarten in the fall and he can't wait!
 Laney will start Preschool and it can't come soon enough for her, she is very excited too! She has grown and changed so much in the last few months.  She is so sweet and funny, and wow does she love her big brother and her big puppy! As of today.... My Hubby has started a new job. I could not be more proud of him! He is now the Director of Sales and Education for Surface Hair. The kids and I are so thankful for his hard work and dedication to our family! We are enjoying this journey God is blessing us with.

Enjoying the smiles in our simple everyday life.

Jonah had kindergarten round-up and is very excited about starting kindergarten in the fall at grandma's school! (The school grandma works at) Jonah also just started t-ball and loves it! 

Laney Rose just had her tubes removed this morning, she was very brave and everything went great! She is very excited about going to preschool in the fall and is ready to learn to swim (with no help) this summer!

Miles is 9 months old and almost 90 lbs. We are crazy about him, he is the perfect 3rd baby!
