Just 4 days of work this week and then spring break.  Looking forward to sleeping in, a little girls trip, doing some spring cleaning , and getting the spring clothes out.  We are not heading south this year, a long story but pretty bummed about it.  We are working on our plans for next year, it seems like everyone is going this year.  Oh well, hopefully we'll have some nice weather here and I am already planning our week so that the kids and I have fun things to do each day.  We'll enjoy our staycation!

One more celebration

We celebrated Addisyn's birthday with the Vugteveen family last night.  We also celebrated Austin's 2nd birthday with the upcoming arrival of his little brother we wanted to get his party in.  The kids always love seeing their cousins.
Got some snuggles in with little Molly,
I guess I still have the touch, she went right to sleep in my arms

Addisyn had to have a turn as well

Happy 2nd Birthday Austin

Our birthday girl

Lindsey, Molly, Cambrey and Kylynn

We got Austin a baseball set, he can use it in his new back yard

Addisyn got rollerskates from grandma and grandpa

The birthday kids

Blowing out her candles, such a funny face

Austin wasn't too thrilled at this point but he did blow out his candles

Of course there was some tackling going on
Easton and Cole didn't want dessert, all they wanted to do was play

Meet Ava Dorothy

We finally ventured down to Lansing to meet the newest little VanDyke.  My brother and his wife welcomed a new baby girl on Addisyn's birthday, they now share a birthday, kinda fun.  We were going to head down last week but Addi was a little snotty and so we thought we better wait.  So we headed down yesterday to meet sweet Ava and see Chloe too.  The kids have so much fun with her and they love running around in circles at my brother and sis in laws new home.  Wish we lived closer, good thing it is only an hour away so day trips are not that bad.
I enjoyed the baby snuggles all afternoon, she is so sweet!

Addisyn's Party

We celebrated Addisyn with the girls from her class last week Saturday at Hudsonville Lanes.  She had so much fun and so did all of the girls.  They were great!  We did some bowling, had hot dogs and enjoyed some cake and ice cream.  A fun party and no clean up for this mamma!
