Conference Grounds

Last week Saturday we packed up and headed to the Conference Grounds for a week of camping. The first part of the week we had awesome weather, thursday and friday was kind of disappointing. Jason stayed with us saturday and sunday, then he headed home to work and my mom moved in on monday morning. The kids and I had a blast hanging with her the hole week! Emma was old enough this year to go to bible school and do some of the activities. She wasn't at all excited about bible school. I had to go with her. Talk about feeling like a big ole giant in a room filled with 3 year olds - 4th graders!! The things we do for our children!! I just hope she does a little bit better when it comes time for school in a couple of weeks!! Logan on the other hand wanted to go!! He wasn't old enough, but on friday I put him in the nursery and he loved it. He only cried when I came to pick him up. Now why can't it be like that at church?! I'm guessing it has something to do with the nursery was outside, had lots of trucks, dumpers, diggers and it had a sandbox. Thursday we headed to the Lakes Mall in Muskegon so the kids could play in the play-place and get rid of some energy. Its a very nice mall...not as big as rivertown but all the stores I shop in...so I'm tempted to start going there. All in all we had a great time. Oh and Hayden was SO good out there. He loved being outside all the time. Plus he was held most of the week, he loved it!

Emma put Logan on time-out. He actually listened!

Emma & Logan fighting...they seemed to do this a lot during the week :(

Emma & Logan actually playing together nicely!!

Hayden's turn

We got this shirt-maroon platoon-in the mail shortly after Hayden was born. I didn't think that it'd fit so soon. He does follow Logan in that he's growing so fast!


Happy boy.

Silly girl! :)

Fishing

This past Sunday we took the kids to Jason's Grandparents house to do some fishing by their pond. Jason's parents also met us there. The kids had a blast. Emma got the hang of it and was casting her own pole in no time. Logan was still a little young for this-as seemed to have more fun getting the worms and touching the fish. :) Guess he just might be a nature boy. The kids caught tons of fish and had a blast doing it!

Hayden enjoyed his tongue while the kids fished. :)

Look!!

I found my tongue!

The birthday girl

As the previous post stated, last week tuesday was Emma's 4th birthday. We celebrated with my family on monday night and Jason's family on tuesday night. Emma made out super well with all of her gifts. I didn't have the camera at the O'Connor celebration as we attempted eating out. Needless to say, if we could have gotten our food right away all would have gone well. But you have to wait for them to cook it-and when we got our food was when the kids, all three of them, decided to get ansy. Thankfully the party was able to be continued by coming to our house for a bit-and the kids were much more relaxed. The Czerkies celebration went pretty well. Here are some pics of that. This one is of my grandma, my mom and Emma. They all have pretty flower rings-and were all wearing them. :)

Papa helping Emma with her cake-which I made from scratch and have to say it was so good :)

Emma talking on the phone to her friend Kennedy who called to wish her a happy birthday-its just so stinking cute to see and hear the girls talk on the phone to each other

Emma got a princess pillow...that is all she would say to Kennedy 'i got a princess pillow, yeah, just like yours' too cute :)

Last week tuesday we celebrated Emma's 4th birthday. My, time has gone way too fast. My dear sweet Emma, you are turning into such a little lady. I love how your are becoming such a little leader for Jesus!!



We love you Emma!!
