Baseball

Baseball season is here and we LOVE going to watch Hayden play! Drew is one of the 3 coaches for the 3rd year.

Hadley isn't that into yet, we're hoping she'll "grow" to like it...

Drew's Early Birthday

Grammy made a quick trip down on her way to Detroit to celebrate Drew's birthday early. We tried to get a Maggie Moo's cake, but they were out of the kind we wanted. So we got peanut butter ice cream!

Mother's Day

We all decided we didn't want to cook on Mother's Day so we ate at Los Cabos and then came back to our house to open gifts!

still impossible to get a good picture of both of them smiling

Papa, Nina and all the grandkiddos.

It was a dream trip. 9 days with no cell phones(except to grandparents and sisters :) ) and to do whatever we wanted to ...whale watching, snorkeling, laying by the pool, spaaing it, surfing...good times! Thank you to the grandparents(& aunt kylie) for watching the kiddos so we could have a great time and not worry!

Big Book Report

Drew and I were leaving for our 10th anniversary trip when Hayden was assigned a big project for school - a book report. Luckily aunt kylie was there to save the day since he would need to be working on it while we were gone. He chose the book "Knight at Dawn." It turned out so awesome! They made the stairs to the tree house out of Popsicle sticks that Hayden colored. And the glittery castle was a nice effect too!

Hayden at the book fair at school where the kids got to display their projects for all the parents to see. Hayden didn't win a prize, but 2 first grade teachers came up and told us it was one of their favorite projects!

The hero aunt kylie at the book fair! Thanks aunt kylie for all the help with the project!
