Happy 3rd Birthday Gracie!!!!

How's the cake? Unfortunately she enjoys the frosting as much as her mother :)


Check out the size of this bite! This little man doesn't mess around!!!





My castle cake; it turned out pretty cute (for a non-baker)!


The favorite toy of the night; a new dollhouse!




Don't ask. Landon decided to bring his booster out to the couch, put it up there himself and was sitting in it when we came out of the kitchen from dinner. Crazy kid!

Little miss pout-pout face. It was a no-nap day and this is what she looked like as the party was starting! She got better though as soon as dinner came around.

Here are the princesses and princes together! Gavin was a prince William/James bond prince all in one :)


My little prince :)

Hollywood - here we come!

Mommy & Daddy took Grace out on a special trip to the bowling alley for her birthday

She decided she would rather do indoor putt-putt and play in the arcade

The morning of Grace's Birthday and her new toy from Mommy & Daddy

Which can be enjoyed by both :)


Grace had a great 3rd birthday on Friday, Nov. 13! I can't believe my little girl is already 3!!!!! Wow - time flies. She woke up and came downstairs to a decorated house for her big day and a big present to open up. We found a Playhut house/tunnel thing that we thought both kids would enjoy this winter. She also got a Crayola glow station and another glow painting kit from us.
We took her out for a few hours for her special day and went to the bowling alley. She decided she wanted to play indoor putt-putt but had more fun running around playing with rocks etc. and then playing in the arcade.
Then we headed home to get ready for the big Princess Party! We found an adorable Princess dress on clearance from Halloween that was perfect for the occasion - it even had a hoop skirt-too cute!! She got some great gifts and as mentioned above the highlight was the new dollhouse and accessories. All in all it was a fun day, and a perfect way for my little princess to celebrate her 3rd birthday!

Halloween








I wish I had more pics to post, unfortunately I was too busy chasing around the little monsters to take many pics on my camera. They're all on Megan's and I STILL haven't gotten them yet! I'll post again when I do :)

Fall pics (so far)

Today at the Oden Fish Hatchery...Brrrr! I can't believe I had to break out the winter gear!!




Last weekend at Pond Hill farm. We went on a hayride and saw the farm animals :)















Rowing to the island at the Lower Falls




We had a family getaway to the UP about 2 weeks ago and rented a "mini" cabin in Newberry. It was perfect! Heated, bathroom, refridgerator, microwave...all the necessities for traveling with young children. They had a blast and so did we! We went to Tahquamenon Falls one day and then the GarLyn Zoo the next day. It was great!!

Wedding



































Here are some of the pics from Karen & Kyle's (Matt's sister) wedding. They just got their professional photos back so we have some great family shots I will post when I get them. It was the first saturday of June and on the bluff overlooking Lake Michigan at a golf course in Harbor Springs. Beautiful, but FREEZING! It was in the lower 50's and we were freezing our butts off!!! At least it didn't rain though :)
