Big Rain Puddles






Well we got home from vacation and Cole was out on his bike, when it rains here on the Street we get alot of overflow water from Sand Creek which is behind our house, luckily even the worst of worst storms has not seen water get in our yard, but on an adjacent street there are huge puddles which Cole finds a great opportunity to get wet in.

Great Wolf Lodge in Traverse City, Michigan

Cole was not Happy about reading time



With Grandma Jane







The Lilly Pads, they spent hours doing these....Anna is not pictured directly but she and Cole did great.


1000 gallons of water dumped every 5 minutes, you can see Anna on the left and Cole on the right.


Three Person Tube



Anna going down the Green Monster by herself after she fell off and slammed her head and got smashed by the two man tube with her DAD, she told her Dad that when you fall off the horse you get back on and ride again.....very tough little girl!


We had a great Vacation in Michigan last week and the best part was our stay at the Great Wolf Lodge in Traverse City, Michigan. We initially went up north and saw the UP in Michigan but the weather was such that it did not cooperate, therefore we ended up in Traverse City. Grandma Jane came out and it was a GREAT time!

Corbin's Birthday


Anna and Cole have been so excited for their Dad's birthday. We have been planning for weeks what kind of cake to make for Dad and what gifts to get him. We made and decorated a cake and took it his work to celebrate. Anna made her Dad a book that she made and Cole gave his Dad a sweatshirt that he won in a drawing. I think they were the perfect gifts for him.

We also interviewed Corbin to see what he was like when he was a kid:

1. What were the names of your pets growing up: Buddy and Daisy (there were others, just ask his mom)
2. What was your favorite subject in school: Math
3. What was your favorite hobby: Sports
4. Who was your best friend: CG
5. What was your favorite food: corndogs
6. How much did you get for an allowance: one dollar a week
7. Who was your hero: my Dad
8. What was your favorite toy: my bike
9. What had not been invented yet: computers

Strawberry Picking



We went to Spencer Farms to pick strawberries. Anna and I enjoyed picking strawberries. Cole picked one strawberry and then began complaining about how hot it was (it was only 80 degrees) and how thirsty he was. We have enjoyed eating fresh strawberries all week.

Geist Half Marathon

Lori ran the half marathon. It was impressive to be 5 1/2 months pregnant and to finish in under 2 hours. This is baby girl's first race. Good job, Lori.

Baby Birds

We have enjoyed watching a robin lay her eggs in a nest that was against our house. We have watched them go from blue eggs, to new birds. Just this week they flew away. The reason that they flew away is because Anna and Dad got too close to the nest and scared them. Corbin spent the next hour trying to catch them in a ice cream bucket and yelling at Anna and Cole to keep Polly in the house so she did not eat them while he tried to put the birds back in the nest while dodging every robin, cardinal and swallow in the neighborhood doing kamakazis at his head. He was unsuccessful in his quest to keep the growing birds in their nests. (hope they survived) He got no lunch and had to go back to work, but Lori enjoyed the free entertainment.
