Leonard Love

We love when the Leonards come to visit!  We took the weekend after Thanksgiving this year to head to Meijer Gardens and have a little fun with the kiddos.  We had a great time walking around the children's park and then headed back home for a rowdy game of Quelf.  :)  Love those Leonards.

Thanksgiving {2012}

We spent Thanksgiving Day this year at my parents house.  It was a great day with really warm weather.  We got some great pictures and the dads and kids had a great time playing some touch football and soccer.  So thankful to be so close to my family!  Love you all.

Rapids

Grant's Rapids FC team at the end of the fall season.  Go Rapids!

Halloween {2012}

We had a fun time this Halloween with the kids.  Everyone is big enough to walk and carry their own bags!  Molly was Rapunzel, Charley was SuperGirl, and Grant was Denard...wig included.  We had our annual spaghetti dinner (thanks Nona for cooking), and all the cousins went out trick or treating around our neighborhood. So much fun to have everyone here with us.  Thanks for coming!!

My Little {Pumpkins}

Pumpkin time again.  I kinda love carving pumpkins with my little pumpkins.  Even though Matt and I do most of the work, it's still creating something fun with the kids.  Molly and Grant actually scooped and they always decide what they want their pumpkin faces to look like.  Happy Halloween!!

Forensics Night

Grant and Molly did great this year participating in the Forensics Night.  They each picked out what they wanted to perform and did really well.  I was super nervous for them both, but I think they did great.  Poor Grant...people thought he was done halfway through and started clapping, but he finished strong!  Molly was the only kindergartner who was willing to participate, and I was so proud of her courage.  Way to go girl!
