Fairytale Festival 2015

September 12th 2015

Princess Anneke found a few friends at the Fairytale Festival today with her brother Kaleb! She was a little shy but she loved it! So fun☺️ Here are a few pictures of the event.

Enjoying Our Summer!

August 14th 2015

This Summer we were able to take advantage of our Lagoon anual passes. 

The kids loved to ride all the rides, swimming at Lagoona Beach, 

and walking around Pioneer Village were some of our favorite things to do there. 

As you can see in the pictures Kaleb enjoyed soaking up the sun and 

Anneke's love for Lagoon in Pioneer Village has her beaming from ear to ear. 

Happy Birthday to Me!

February 7th 2015

Flowers that almost reach the ceiling;) 

and Fleming's Prime Steakhouse for dinner last night from 

my hubby for my birthday yesterday! 

27 years hasn't treated me half bad.;o)

I also received an abundance of cards! In fact, I think I'm at an all time record for cards given to me for my birthday!...It is super nice and fun to get a birthday wish on Facebook or by text, but there's just something extra special about getting a birthday card. I've loved living in Centerville this past year and I'm so grateful for such thoughtful neighbors and friends!

Anneke's 2nd Birthday Party Minnie Mouse!

November 18, 2014

Happy Birthday to my little Anneke today! She is such a cute little princess. We love her SOOO much.:o) Here are some pictures from her birthday party... I think she was having just a little bit of fun!;o) ;o)

October 2014

This month my handsome hubby and I were able to getaway and go to Palm Beach, California while Grandma and Grandpa watched the kids! It was hard to leave my babies, even for a few days, but it helped to know that they didn't miss me... how could they when they were being spoiled at Grandmas house with unlimited chocolate milk, treats, and late bedtimes?;o) Here are few pictures I took on our fun getaway....:o)

Another fun thing that happened in October is, my Sister Karen bought a cabin up near Pineview Lake and we were able to go and spend a day enjoying the beauty of the woods! Here are a few pics I took up at the cabin...:o)

And last, but not least, for this month, I took some pictures of my little Anneke for her birthday in a few weeks. She is getting so big, I CAN"T believe it! She has such a fun personality. She loves pretty sparkly dresses, shoes, and jewelry. She is such a little princess and is a marvelous model  in the candy corn dress that I made for her.;o)

Updates!

Oops! I need to update my blog!

Here are a few things that have been happening over the last couple of months...:o)

July 2014:

Garden Time!

We have been enjoying our new home sooo much. One of my favorite things about it is that we inherited  a few fruit producing trees! Here are some pictures I took this summer of our "fruitful" investment.;o)

Plums!                                                                        

Peaches!

Grapes!                                                               

       

 Pears!
 

And, I grew some yummy tomatoes!

August 2014:

Kindergarten Time!

Here is a Picture of Kaleb's first day of school.:o) I can't believe he is old enough to go to school.... or maybe I can't believe that I'm old enough to have a child in school! He was so excited for his first day of school.... awww....memories....Sooo fun!

Kaleb has been doing so well and improving so much in school these past couple of months. He is enrolled in the dual immersion Mandarin Chinese Kindergarten program and is loving it.:o)

So far, he knows how to count to 10, the basic colors, a few songs, and how to ask if he can go to the bathroom or get a drink in Chinese.

He has such an enthusiasm for school that I hope it lasts! Every Friday he has a short day at school, so during the week he will ask me if tomorrow is a "short day"... when I tell him it is a  normal day he always shouts, "Yay! I love long days at school!" His teachers are so awesome and I feel so lucky to have my little Kaleb learning is such a great school.:o)
