4 years already

How is it possible that it was already 4 years ago, on what was a rainy morning a lot like today, my little man was born.  Sometimes I feel like it was just yesterday and I swear even though he is big for his age I want to keep him my baby.  Alas though today we celebrate his 4th birthday while we are camping in Ludington.  We will hit his favorite restaurant House of Flavors for lunch and then Brats for dinner.  Happy Birthday my little man!

9 years ago

It was 9 years ago that I became a mom for the very first time. I can not believe how fast the time has gone and how much my life has changed in that time. I am very blessed to have Maddie in my life and though she is starting to push into the harder days in life I also find so many other things more exciting and easy to do with her as well. Happy Birthday to my oldest and thank you God for making me her mother!

11 years

That is how many years I have been blessed to be married to my best friend and love of my life.  I can not believe how fast it all has gone and how many things we have been blessed with along the ways most importantly our 3 children!

Busy day

Busy day just took my Kindergartener to her last day before I lose her to all day school. Later today I am taking my Brownies on our last adventure as a troop (many of us are leaving including myself).  Then it's time to get packing for camping for 4 days and all of the cleaning that goes with being gone so we can come home to a clean house.  Tomorrow is Maddie's last day of 3rd grade and one step close to moving to intermediate school the following year.  Oh yeah and tomorrow Joel and I celebrate 11 wonderful and crazy years ♥  All in all seems like a pretty awesome day though it is busy!

CSA

I am just so excited for the start of our summer CSA today! I get to go get a whole box of asparagus, lettuce, rhubarb, tomatoes, green onions, spinach, carrots and German Butterball potatoes from Visser Farms! I can not wait as this is only the start of 21 weeks of awesome produce at $20 a week you can not go wrong! You totally need to check it out!

Memorial weekend....

Oh what a Day..... a quick brief run down is we had the campground looking for Logan today and 911 on the line when Logan decided to hide and seek on us as we were packing up. Then came home to a defrosting deep freezer...unplanned BBQ of weird things tonight now.  This is after taking Maddie to the ER yesterday for periorbital cellulitus (infection in the skin around her eye) and Logan getting sunburned in 59 degree weather on Friday.

A little more on the Logan thing:  

Logan got in trouble for eating his popscile in the trailer after I cleaned it for packing up. So he decided to hide in there apparently while Joel and I were on the otherside of the camper getting electric, water, and sewer put away. We ...noticed he was not on the playground so I went into the camper and called for him. Then we ran around our friends sites calling for him and a better search of the playground. Nothing...I went into the camper and did a hardcore search and found nothing. At this point I sent Joel to the office to start checking the gate and alert the staff...our friends started to call 911 and people were looking through out our area for him. I decided to plug the camper in and slide our slide out incase somehow it had trapped him somewhere. As I go in for the fourth time he pops his head up and said here I am................... I totally lost it to tears at that point. I am relieved that he did not wander away but hate his ability to play hide and seek so well that he moves spots and does not even answer when Mom is yelling "Logan please come out I am not mad I am so scared please tell me where you are". We have had some major talks as can be imagined.See More

Home

Well we are home! I wish I could say that it feels so great but it is still just so cold here and it was so beautiful down there. It's barely even spring here in Michigan but in Myrtle Beach they are in Early summer for sure and it was awesome. I love the warm weather and the beach but I am not a huge fan of the humidty...well more what it does to my hair. We kept very busy but enjoyed much pool time and family time.
