Camping at Yogi Bear!

We went camping last wednesday through Sunday at Yogi Bear in Grand Haven! We had a blast! We camped with some friends of ours and their girls too! All of the kids did so good! The first night Gav and Teagyn both woke up in the night. Gavyn because he heard the train "cho choing" and it scared him, (I reassured him that the train is just carring boxes of food to meijer's to drop it off- and it worked) the next night he woke up but didn't cry! I think Teagyn was just plain scared to death when he woke up in unfamiliar surroundings! But after that night they both slept awesome! It rained, and I do mean rained, on Saturday it was quite boring sitting under the awning for about 2 hours especially with Teagyn all he wanted to do was get down and crawl in the mud! So that was a bit challenging but we got through it!
Each morning we would go down to the pavillion, where Boo Boo Bear comes out, and all of the kids follow him over to the flag pole to say the pledge of alligance, and raise the flag! Followed by hugs of course! I think we swam at least twice a day! All of the kids loved the pool! It was heated and oh so warm! Relaxing campfires at night, good food! It was so nice to get away- even though we werent too far away! I love to only have a 15 minute ride home to get everthing unpacked! I even finished up the last load of laundry this morning, already! Good friends- good times! Here are some pics from the weekend! I can't wait to back next year!

This is so cute! Teagyn was playing peek a boo with maddie!

Another weekend has come and gone!

Well to sum it up..... we had a good weekend! Nothing spectacular just a good weekend. We went to Billy and Heidi's Friday night for a cookout, my Dad came to visit over night Sat. (he is from Manton), took a nice long nap on sat while the boys slept, had a sunday roast for dinner, layed in the sun, went to the store... by myself to get a few groceries. Just one of those refreshing weekends that I have not had in a long time! I got a few cute pics of the boys too! And guess where they are playing, the landscaping rocks, where else! LOL!

Teagyn's 1st Birthday!

So here is what Teagyn's birthday looked like! At the last minute someone took the last few hours of my shift! I was so excited! So anyway, this is Teague with his first piece of pizza. Loved it!

A little help from big brother wiith the candle!

Loved his cake!


He gave me the best smile here! It is what he does best, such a happy baby! We am so blessed!


He ripped right into these.





Wow! It is so hard to believe that my baby is not so much a baby anymore. Heartbreaking in a way. But I have to say, I love how big he is getting and how much easier things seem to get with both of the boys now too! Thank you all for coming and for Teagues gifts!

Tomorrow is the big day!





OMGosh, tomorrow my baby is going to be 1! Can you believe it? It sounds so cliche to say, but it has gone by so fast. It seems like it was only yesterday that we at the hospital! I cannot believe how much they grow in just one years time! Just this week Teagyn is standing alot on his own AND walked 3 steps to me yesterday!! So the bad news... I have to work on Wednesday 12 hrs : ( ! I am so bummed. I know, he has no idea. It isn't that big of a deal really, I am just bummed (did I mention I am bummed?)! So we are having a little birthday party for him on Thursday night.

Last night Gavyn......... WENT PEE PEE ON THE POTTY!!!! For the first time ever! I was so surprised he went, and he was embaressed! I am so proud of him! Tim said I made too big of a deal about it and got him all embaressed, typical mom. LOL! At any rate, with any luck we are on the path to only 1 child in diapers! That would be so nice!
I will be back with some birthday pics soon!
