'Tis the Season

Well, the time is here. Sierra had a cold for the past two weeks and today we found out she has two minor ear infections as well. What fun!

Nelson's Farm Market

The Kids enjoyed a sprinkle chocolate donut My flexible daughter, not only does she just play with her hair she can play with it with her feet!

There is a little farm market with a small barn and some animals near Newago that James and I have been visiting before we got married. We try to go a couple of times a year and always bring home some delicious treats. My mom went with us yesterday. Here are a few pics.

The CHICKENS

New BLOG...

I am starting a new PETUNIAS' Blog that you all can check out HERE!

So much RAIN ==>>>

Back to the wormies..

We started the spring with worm hunts and now as we head into fall they still continue. The kids went outside in search of wormies today!

Does this need any explanation?

Sierra...

had her 18 month Dr.'s appointment today and she did great. She weighed 22 lbs. and 6 oz. which put her in about the 12th percentile and she was 32.5 inches tall which put her in the 50th percentile. She also got 1 shot but only cried for about 3 seconds and then ran through the office with the shot totally forgotten : ) She seems to be totally ahead with language as she is basically putting phrases and short sentences together, and they are still watching her weight closely but are pretty confident she is just going to be a petite little thing!

Labor Day Weekend 2008

We spent Friday and Saturday in Whitehall at the Grooters' cottage and Sunday and Monday in North Muskegon at the DeVries' Cottage. What a wonderful way to wind down the summer. The weather was gorgeous and the kids had a great time everywhere we went.

Playing in the Sprinklers...probably for the last time this summer

Updates...

I finally added quite a few pictures below, still don't have them all but oh well. We have been living up the last few days of summer before James has to head back to school tomorrow. We sent the kids overnight to James' mom and Bruce this past Saturday so James and I could celebrate our anniversary. We didn't know what we were going to do but at the last minute decided to head to Michigan's Adventure. Yes we went to the crazy park and rode rollercoasters in the pouring rain and froze our buns off on all the water rides. We had a FUN time and the ended the day by heading to Grand Haven and having dinner at the Kirby which is one of our favorites : )

Savings Angel

James and I decided to sign up for savingsangel.com to see if that would help with our grocery bills. It costs $20 a month but if you sign up for 1 month you get 1 month free right now so we decided to try it. If any of you out there want to try it as well sign up HERE and enter our referral code of 14936, because we get credit for referring you : ) We will let you know how well it works in the future for us. So far it really does look like there will be some extra savings on things we would buy anyway.....

DeVries Cottage...

We spent this last Friday at the DeVries Cottage with my Aunt and Uncle and some DeVries cousins and their kids. It was fun to hang out with them as we don't see them often and the kids really had a great time together.
