Cute Lil Guy

Carter & Joanna are staying with us for the week while Lloyd and Bethany are in Virginia for a funeral.

We always have so much fun with them! :-)

Aunt Rachel bought Carter this cute Michigan outfit. He wasn't in the mood for a photo shoot... maybe more later.

Pictures From Our Vacation

We're Back

We had a safe trip home on Thursday. No one was ready to come home. We had a wonderful time! =) We stayed with the Huxley family for 3 nights in Fort Myers, then we packed up and stayed at the Kennedy's (Deborah's boyfriend's family) rental house for 2 nights. The Huxleys & Kennedys were so sweet to have a place for us to stay - that's no small thing! =) From there we went to Orlando and rented a house for 4 nights. We had a great time & made a lot of memories. =)

The house we rented in Orlando

It was so much fun having a pool & hot tub right off the living roomDeborah's birthday was on TuesdayWe went to the beach with the Huxleys and watched the sun set - it was beautiful!!
We all had fun at Disney World!! The kids weren't to sure about Mickey. =)The fireworks were a great way to end the day. It was awesome!!!

We had to rent two

mini vans to get us around. :-)

The trunks are huge and fit

our luggage perfectly with room to spare!

ride to Ft. Myers...



We're staying in Ft. Myers with the Huxley family. They're very kind (and brave :-) to have us stay with them for a few nights. We're having a great time with them!Tuesday was Noah's birthday, he turned 12! Kelly had a nice dinner for us when we got here. She also made this cute cake for Noah's birthday.

We Made It!!

We made it here safely! We had a great flight - no lost luggage, no one got sick. :-) It was the five little ones first time to fly. They were nervous about flying, but they seemed to enjoy it. We'll try to update more later...

Fun At The Woodys Farm

After we got all that snow we went out to the Woodburys and went toboganning. Uncle Woody pulled us on his tractor - we had a great time! We use to do this years ago when the older ones were younger. The kids really had a great time! They can't wait to do it again.

Happy Birthday Joanna! =)

Joanna turned 23 today! What a beautiful day for a birthday! I just had to snap a few pictures. :)

Adorable Girls

Aunt Rachel & Aunt Anna found these dresses on sale. They wore them on Sunday and looked adorable! You can definitely see their personalities in these pictures.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!! It snowed right into the new year - it was beautiful! The kids loved all the snow. They were out making snowmen at 1:00am. Times have changed, that's for sure. :-)

Lydia, Naomi & Hannah

It snowed all night! When we got up this morning we were snowed in. Dad & the boys spent a lot of the day plowing everyone out. Thanks guys! :-)
