A FEW NEW THINGS FOR ELLERY...

Ellie in the jumparoo... in mommy's office, so mommy can work while Ellie "jumps around"!

First cereal ~ it was a success, she L♥VED it!

SUMMER TIME IS THE BEST TIME!



Playing on the computer on the boat, Ellery watching from the bed!



She is SOOO snuggly :o)~

This is where Ellery hangs out on the boat a lot! We were anchored on Lake MI this past Sunday!! It was beautiful! Ellery was sooo happy as usual!

Addison fell asleep while on the boat ride! She was a tired babe!

Mark, Hallie and Addison took the tube into the the beach... the way back was not fun..the current was quite strong! But they sure had fun... Ellery was napping back on the boat so I stayed back by myself (no complaints :o) and enjoyed the quietness and sunshine! What a GREAT way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

rub a dub dub Ellie and Addi share the tub

Ellery looks a little scared.. :o)~



This was the first time Ellery took a tubby while sitting up :o) !



* Fun at the Park... Daddy and his girls *





LAST DAY for 3rd grade and Highlight Soccer team :o( sad day...

Hallie with her teacher Mrs. Goad on the last day of school Tuesday June 7th.  It was a hot day and they played capture the flag outside!! What an amazing year Hallie had...thanks to an AMAZING teacher..who truly gave her heart to those kids! I pray every year for Hallie to be placed in a classroom where she will be able to grow and learn in a positive way.. my prayers were answered the moment she stepped foot in Kelly's class... I am sad to have Hallie move on from third grade..she is leaving a wonderful teacher and school behind (next year she is the 4th/5th grade building Cedar View)...and she is another year older.. it is so hard as a mom to see your kids grow up...once they start school it just flies by! I am thankful for summer. I enjoy spending time with her and she needs a break from the pressures that believe it or not 8 & 9 year olds are faced with! Praying now for a slow moving summer and for her to be placed in another great class for fourth grade!

Hallie being Goalie one last time for the Highlights team AYSO!



Coach Jeff giving Hallie her award! My Hallie was so emotional... he said some pretty nice things and she again was sad to have the season end..poor kid first school now soccer!! Both Addison and Hallie are signed up for Fall Soccer!! Oh I am officially a SOCCER MOM! :o)



GOOFY Girls! Hallie's Soccer team for Fall 2010 and Spring 2011! What a great season! They were an awesome team..worked great together and it helped that their coach was really GREAT!!  Coach Jeff Thank you!

The weekends fly by especially when you are having fun!
