Visit to Washington D.C.

We went to DC for a week in the beginning of April to visit all our friends- we had a ton of fun. It was nice to have spring for a little while, it takes about 5 weeks longer in MI to become spring. We enjoyed a little sun- except for the day we went downtown- it was freezing and overcast. Now that it's May, it's now spring in MI- and a beautiful one at that! Crue had so much fun "play with friends" and he even did well on the long car trips!

Grand Rapids Griffins

We got to go to a minor league hockey game & sit in a luxury box with Matt's family- it was a ton of fun. Crue loved the zamboni, but not the mascot- I think he got that from me! The "Griffin" came up to see the kids, and Crue started crying hystarically- then the stupid thing thought it would be funny to come give me a hug. I tried flashing him in the eyes with my camera, but it kept coming at me! I finally let him hug me, but not before I got totally creeped out! As you can see in the pic of just the Griffin, it was completely creepy and whoever told him to get me cause I hate mascots, is gonna get it! We had lots of fun wi

Random pics from this Winter

Here are some cute pics I meant to put up earlier- but never got around to! We had a great day out in the snow one day- Crue loved sledding with daddy. He also helped shovel the walkway. I'm so glad that the snow's gone now! He's also learning how to play the ukilale(?) he loves music! There's also one of Crue and Matt watching a movie on the laptop in a hotel we stayed in for the Army- we also got to go swimming- very fun!

Florida

I caught a beautiful sunrise after Crue woke me up at 6 AM- I guess it was worth it! I also caught some other great pics of my family with Crue throughout the week- he loved having so many people there to fulfill his every desire!

Florida

Matt is in San Francisco for a school, so my parents, brother, sister, Crue ane I drove to Florida in an Explorer, for a week. We stayed on Eglin AFB right on the water- that's the water in the fishing pic. There were F-15's taking off and landing all the time- I don't know who liked it more- my dad or Crue! We went to the white sandy beaches of Destin, even though most days were quite cool. Crue got to bowl for the 1st time and loved playing in the sand and outside all the time. We had a ton of fun and it was nice to be out of the single digits and snow of Michigan!

Allendale Fire Department

Matt, Crue, and I visited Matt's new Fire Station. He is a Volunteer with Allendale- and he loves it! He has to leave in the middle of the night and not get enough sleep, but yet he loves it! I could do without the pager going off in the middle of the night, but Matt loves to be able to help people. Crue is in love with fire trucks, almost as much as Matt is! I think Crue is starting to realize just how cool his dad is, with driving fire trucks and Army trucks!

Crue's Birthday & Children's Museum

Here are a couple pics of Crue's Birthday Cake and Train Table. There's also some of Crue with his buddy Hudson at the Grand Rapids Children's Museum. They both had a ton of fun! Crue managed to get hurt here- he tripped and hit his head on a slide. It was nothing new, so he cried for a minute, and went back to playing!
