First, Thanksgiving. I have lots of pics to post, so here are just a few....     Eva and Selah, where are your eyes. lol :)            Then, my SIL Kimmy, who works at Zeeland Architectural,  invited us to see Obama's inaugural stage, I guess you would call it.  It was very cool, to say ...

I'm in the middle of work, but I thought I would say hello to you all! It's been a really long time since I actually wrote about what we are up to. But, since I don't have much time, I'll try to make it short and sweet. : First, this time of year up until Christmas, is always a busy time of year for me and I always look forward to it ...

A while back I design a wedding album for this couple. I have never met them before, but I remember thinking to myself when I was designing it, that they looked like they were such a cute happy couple. A few weeks ago I came across her blog---I can't even remember how-----but I have been praying for them ever since. They are a young couple, but ...

So I probably should be taking a nap while all the girls are sleeping, but I thought I would post some pictures since I haven't been here in a while. Here are a just a few pictures---I haven't downloaded the other cards yet---but most of them are from the firework show that we had at Dino's parents house. :)   Tammy taking pictures of ...

I am miserable!! Completely miserable!! For one, I'm pretty sure I am carrying a toddler size child inside my body and she is trying to ninja kick her way out. I have to go potty every time I stand up, I can't sleep, and I can't bend over to pick anything up because it feels like my stomach is going to tear open. On top of that, I have a seriously ...

Can you believe it?!?! 16 more days...I am so ready!! This girl is HEAVY, and I am aching everywhere. MY back is killing me and my stomach feels like it has stretched as far as it possibly can go! But only 16 more days!! I am secretly hoping the doc wants to take her earlier--but I doubt that will happen. :) Everything has been going well with the ...

Yay, tonight I will be a single mother no longer. :) Dino returns home tonight!!! I just talked to him and he just made it to Chicago, so we are only a couple hours from seeing him!!! I don't know who will be more excited to see him---me or the girls. Yesterday, I was losing my patients with both of the girls. They were fighting over every ...

So, did you hear about the 7.8 earthquake in China??? Kenton is actually in China as I type and wiill be traveling to Chengdu Wednesday. If you could keep Kenton and his fellow co-workers in your prayers, I would greatly appreciate it! :)  I just talked to him and they are doing fine, they were in the air when the earthquake ...

so I hope everyone had a great weekend! We were pretty busy, but so much fun! Friday, it was just a family night for us. We went out for dinner and then went clothes shopping for all of us. I got a couple shirts ( I REFUSE to waste my money on maternity clothes that I will only wear for 30 something more days) but I did need a couple of shirts ...

SO Dino came home with a bunch of dry ice and we had some fun with it!! Here are some photos of the girls enjoying their science lesson. :) and then Dino added dish soap..... They loved this!! They picked up the bubbles in their hands and clapped....then poof they were gone in ''smoke'' like Eva said. :) Daddy saved some for after the ...

Here are the picture I took on our walk the other day. Just some stuff. :) I LOVE doors! Old one's atleast. :) Eva and Isa were chasing this poor little guy. LOL :)

So I hope you all are doing well. I heard that a lot of you had a great spring break, so thats great!!!!!!! Yesterday Dino and I celebrated  5 years of wedded bliss!!!! Well, we didn't really celebrate actually--we didn't have anyone to watch the girlies. But we will go out next weekend or something when Dino's parents return from their ...

So apparently, I failed again, and I have gestational diabetes with this pregnancy. :( Not really all that surprised I guess.  I met with an educator about gestational diabetes already, and I have to check my levels 4 times a day. I dont mind that part all though. I am kinda struggling with what serving sizes are, and which fruits I should ...

You can't believe these web surveys, but this pretty much confirms what my wife Nina has been telling me for years. I still think every guy has some form of ADHD.  There are a lot of questions about anger, and I don't get angry/annoyed easily, so maybe there are different types of ADHD...

Today is Kenton's (Dino's) Birthday!!!  (29th) YAY!!  Nothing big planned. Tonight we are leaving the kids with Dino's parents and we are going to a photography seminar in GR. SO kinda a night out without the kids, but kinda work also. LOL I love you ''Bucket''---Happy Birthday!!! :)  

I'm back! :) Eva has been sick with a sore throat and she has something crazy going on with her eyes. Since the 20th or 21st her eyes have been puffy. LIke, not a little bit--she looks like she got hit in both eyes, but without any marks. SO I fugured I would take her to the doctor to see what he could tell me. Well, I left pretty ...

So yesterday afternoon, I tred to get pictures of the girl in their Easter dress. I should have just srapped the whole idea when Isabel woke up CRANKY!! I mean just crying for no reason, and all she wanted was to be hold. I should have known then that it would not be a great day for pictures. But I didn't! Isabel usually wakes up SUPER happy ...

So, Dino got home yesterday from Raleigh, NC. It was a short trip this time, and we are thankful that he returned safe and sound. :) Tonight is crop night at Church, and I'm pretty excited for that. I have a few LO's that I have to get done real quick for a couple of things. :) Tomorrow is the St. Patrick's Day parade in Holland. But before we go ...

Ours wasn't great, but looking on the bright side, we had lots of family time. :) Friday started off well. WE went shopping and my Mom bought the girls their Easter Dress and some shoes. My dad was in Grandville so he stopped by to see the girls too and sit down with us for lunch. Nana and Pop Pop took one girl  each and rode on the carousel ...

Hi friends, (Friday) we went to the mall with Nana. Nana bought me a pretty dress and pretty shoes, white ones like the computer. I saw Pop Pop too there. I rode on the horses there and ate burger, and I didnt want to see the Easter bunny. Um, I was scraed of him. Yesterday, I took a sleep in the van. We went to the carwash and I saw colors like ...

So, I don't have much to say, are you shocked? lol.. So I'll just leave you with a few pictures from the last couple of days. :) Wednesday--Eva really wanted a picnic. She layed out the blanket and everything-she was so excited. So here is our lunch picnic in our living room. :)   Thursday--Dino took a half day of work so we could ...

We had some fun this weekend, and I was SO happy to get out of the house!! :) I love winter, but man this winter I am ready to get out of the house and go for walks or something. Anyhow, it was nice to get out. Friday--(no pictures) We went out to to grab a bite to eat and then headed to the mall. Apparently ever friday night is ''family night'' ...
