Memorial Day WEEKEND...was super busy

We spent time at the DeVries cottage in North Muskegon, the Grooters' home in Whitehall and also in Holland watching a parade that my Grandpa Tamminga marches in every year.

New Icky Bag sizes on ETSY...

After many many requests I'm making a petite and XL in the ICKY Bag and they are for sale at ETSY now!

Tulip Time in Holland

Sierra is actually wearing the Dutch costume I wore when I was one : )

tutu cute

My daughters unruly hair...

So when you find out you are having a baby girl don't you imagine dresses and hairbows...most of you probably already know my daughter won't keep a hair bow in for more than about 15 seconds and she is always so dirty there is no way I would put a dress anywhere near her body most of the time...anyway, here is a pic of her hair when we woke up on Sunday morning and her transformation...before she got dirty again : )

Aunt EB's Birthday...

We went out to celebrate my sister's birthday (even though she was in NYC and we are in MI).

NYC

View of the city from Erin's work We watched Erin play in her soccer league Spent MANY MANY hours on our feet walking around : ) The Parkinson's walk went great. They raised over 1.4 million so far and are still taking donations.

There was a crazy amount of people who walked. The group line you can kind of see in this pic is only a very small portion. We counldn't belive how far it stretched. Tulips were in bloom in NYC and were so pretty We had a great time in NYC visiting EB.

A BIG announcement for PETUNIAS!

Bethany Mulder and her sister Rebecca are going to be hosting a PETUNIAS open house (similar to a tupperware party, but you can come and go as you please) in Holland on May 12 from 5:00-8:00pm. SO if you have been wanting to check out some of my stuff please feel free to join us. More details to follow!

Finally PIGTAILS

I have been dying to try pigtails in Sierra's hair ever since the day I found out I was having a girl. So we tried a bee-bop (one tail on top of head) this weekend and then Sunday morning Sierra let me comb her hair into pigtails and she kept them in all day long (a minor miracle). I was thrilled....everyone else at my home thought I was a little crazy : ) BUT isn't she the CUTEST!

Woodchips

James helped my dad and brother put in new woodchips at their house in Holland this past weekend. The kids spent most of the day outside too and just loved it. Simon collected ants while Sierra made herself as busy as possible getting dirty, her FAVORITE!

Gramp Tamminga is 85!

Simon is 2!

What does that mean? Well, mark the date. This past week my lovely son, had his first screaming, kicking, crying at the top of his lungs, tantrum in the middle of a store. We were in Kohls and we were leaving the toy section and he freaked. Literally everyone in the store was staring at us and I heard comments like "Poor Mom" , "where is that kid's mom" "I remember those days, it wasn't fun"......NICE!

Worm Hunting...

The new "IN THING" at our house. The kids LOVE rainy days and going outside to hunt for worms. They love to pick them up and "rescue" them from the pavement and bring them back into the lawn. Simon especially loves hunting "wormies" : )
