What a week!!!

One of the reason my mom came down was Elijah, he broke his thumb. He is fine, he just needs the cast for about 3 weeks, thankful its not longer and its ORANGE, not pink or red, orange his is favorite color. He is bummin alittle just because he has to miss football and gym, but hey 3 weeks isn't bad.....



We had quite a week here, and I needed some extra help and so my mom flew down to help me. I don't need help often but when I do, I am so thankful my mom was there for me!!!! I don't know what I would do without her help!!!! Its hard not to be right there by family a lot of the times but when I need them the most they are always there for me and it means so much
I redid the dining room a bit, just added different certains and tablecloth...then lydia smelling the flowers, she always wants me to take these pictures....

Isaac bday/party/school

The 2 pictures above our the boys on their first 1/2 day of school and below is a picture of them on their first whole day of school, as a mom their is a difference. Elijah is starting 5thgrade, his last year in elementary school. I can't believe it! He got the teacher he wanted, Mr. White, and he has a great class, and one of his best friends are in his class this year so I think it will be a great year! Isaac is in 2nd grade hard to believe my baby boy is 8! His teacher's name is Mrs. Ross and I also think he is going to have a AWESOME year.....




Isaac had his birthday party at lazer tag and the kids had a BLAST, Lydia was excited because she also got to play one game...the boys I think had a blast and Isaac had a great birthday I think....


The kids before Isaac's party....

Isaac ice cream cake we had on his "real"birthday.....

All Lydia wanted to do is ride the carousel










We also were able to catch a Tigers game and we had so much fun! We had awesome seats, and we were in the shade on a very HOT HOT day....and the Tigers won!!!!

The boys on Uma and Papas boat...we just had so much fun on the boat....


Jasper and Duke, the brothers are so happy to be together!!!!


We took some family pictures while in East Lansing, we got some great pictures, but yes we looked nerdy walking around EL all in white



Isaac wanted to see Sparty and Elijah wanted to see the Paul Bunyan trophy...the boys loved being in EL, and it was great seeing it in their eyes, its funny that we take it for granted growing up so close to MSU and they just thought it was the greatest town!!!!

The kids in front of Sparty....it was one thing Isaac wanted to see
Lydia also loves loves loves her Uncle Norm!!!! and Aunt Ang wants to know what Elijah got taller then her??????


Chase and Elijah, and Lydia and Rosa....Lydia loves Rosa and even asked me the other day why didn't I name her Rosa, and I said well your middle name is Rose, and she said ahhh that is not the same

Lydia and Maeve, and the kids trading silly bands

Aunt Angie got me a ice cream birthday cake, which was the BOMB and so super yummy, thank you Ang....
the boys plus Lydia and me and baby Asher, he is so cute!!!!


On our way back down state we stopped at Uncle Norms and Aunt Angies to see them and the kids. Lindsay was there with her 2 sweet adorable little girls, and Lisa came with Eden and Asher, it was great seeing everyone even if it was just for a little while
