Samuel's First Time Fishing

Samuel casting for the first time with his new fishing pole.
He got the hang of it right away.

Nathanael showing Samuel how to take the hook out of the fish's mouth. Nathanael was a great teacher. I had a great morning watching my boys having a great time together.

Samuel's first fish he caught on his own.

Auf Weidersehen!! :)

Happy 17th Anniversary!!

Today is our parent's anniversary. They have now been married for 17 years now. Wow!! Life can be pretty hard sometimes with going this way and that, doing that thing and the other, but it can be rewarding. Take us for example :) Even though we may not show it all of the time, we are still grateful for everything that you do for us. For taking us places, for staying up late and cleaning and for just loving us even when we weren't being the best and doing what we were suppose to...

We are so grateful for everything you do for us. We hope you have many, many more happy years together :) We love you!!!

Love,
Your Children
Sarah, Nathanael, Abigail, Rachel, Samuel and Hope

Red Wings Game

We went to a Red Wings game where Abigail and the rest of the 4th grade class from French Road Elementary sang the National Anthem.

Our neighbors the Silvas sat with us it was a great time by all. We actually made it through the whole game.

Memorial Day

We had a great day planting our garden. Then ending the day with a picnic and swimming with friends. Thanks again Pulleys for another great get together.

Fun at Grandpa Chilson's House

The last half of Spring Break we headed to Jonathan's dads. We got to enjoy the outdoors. The kids enjoyed tractor rides, helped stack wood, played in the creek and took Grandpa out for dinner for his 70th birthday.

What a face!

We also enjoyed a yummy chocolate cake at home.
