Schaffer Family Visit!!!!

5 boys 5 and under and one baby in the belly (not mine Jamie's:) We had so much fun with the Schaffer family. Thank you for coming to spend your Memorial weekend with us!!! We all ventured over to Lake Michigan for the day and as you can see all 7 boys had a blast. The dads dug holes, buried boys, and ran through the waves while the moms covered all the lets make sure we are raising our kids the right way topics! We loved being with you guys! We are mirror image families! Well, we will have to see what baby #3 is going to be. Just some of the photos we got of everyone playing. Our boys are still asking when will we get to go see Will and Cal:)

Tooth Down

Trey lost his first tooth:) He was so excited to join the ranks of those missing teeth in his class. When I dropped him off at school he ran up to his friends and just opened his mouth! This is a big deal in the 5 year old world.

Soccer Mom

I am officially in my demographic! Here are a few pics of the Trey and Taatjes playing soccer. Taatjes' is in an intro class and Trey is on a team with real games.

Imagination At Work

Taatjes: "Have you ever seen a purple giant?"
Mom and Dad: "No we have not. Have you?"
Taatjes: (smug look on his face) "Oh ya I have seen a purple giant!"
Mom and Dad: "Where?"
Taatjes: "Here!"
Mom and Dad: "Oh my goodness, really..."
Taatjes: "Don't worry he is nicer than the purple monster."

Transtion

Life is crazy right now! We are moving from our temporary housing to our new home. I will not have many posts for a little while.
Some posts to come of the boys with their soccer teams soon! I love, love being an official soccer mom!!!!

No more T's

So all of our boys have T names that I get mixed up every now and then. They promptly correct me when the offense occurs. 3 is hard enough to keep strait. So just when I pause and think which T boy am I talking to; one more has been added to the mix (not my own:). Tavish! Tavish is the boys new friend who lives next door to us! He and his family moved in here (our temporary housing) when we did. So when we met him and he said "my name is Tavish" I just laughed. Oh my goodness another T name to remember and keep strait when they are all running around the house. He comes over nearly everyday to play so he enters into the mass confusion of wrong name calling. He is used to it now and just laughs at me when I get it wrong and tells me how silly I am. We love making new friends but I am crossing my fingers that there are no more T's!
