Drew picked a Japanese restaurant for his birthday. Nina had taken the kids to the pool for the day so it was a 50/50 chance when Hadley fell asleep on the way, if she would wake up in a good mood or not...she did!

Hayden pretending like he is the guy cooking...

Cal thought it was pretty funny!

Hayden doing star wars moves and hadley giving us a preview of her dance recital tap dance...

Hayden and his favorite...a root beer float. he asked me to take a picture with it.

Good times with Good Friends

Hayden and one of his best buds. They have a blast together, and are a lot alike. They are going to Kanakuk together this July for a week!

the guys grilling

Poor Hadley, she is obsessed with animals and doesn't have one. When we go to friends houses and they have a dog, she stalks the dog. Notice Callie's teeth as Hadley is petting her. She is also growling (the dog).

Baseball

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

Dad giving him some pointers before he's up to bat...

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.

the guys headed to the golf course in our convertible "Sebring" rental car. everywhere you looked there were white and silver Sebrings. when we'd get to a parking lot we'd have to set off our alarm to figure out which was ours!

We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary by going to maui! 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!
