Picture Page, Picture Page

WOW!  I just noticed that the last time I posted was Tulip Time, which was about a month ago.  Things have been a little busy around our place, I guess.  I will have to sum it up in pictures, since I just downloaded a bunch of them and I don’t really have much to say today.  I just thought that maybe I should get back on here and post again.The first group of pictures is from the first night we went downtown with friends of ours to take pictures by the tulips (notice how "put together" the other family is).  The Lawrence’s were adorable and I got some good pics of just their family.  

Then we went another night to watch the dancers.  We watched our babysitter, Rachael dance and then went to watch the alumni dancers and Aunty Betsy dance.  While we were waiting for the dancers on 8th St. to start, Emma spotted a puppy and she made a beeline for the dog.  She was just learning to walk, but it was much faster to crawl.  So, that’s what she did.  Once she got to the puppy, she just sat there and smiled and pet the puppy.  She just LOVES little dogs. 

I think that it was the following week that we had our deck torn up, expanded, and replaced.  Of course, the girls wanted to watch the guys working, so they stood by the slider door and just watched them work.  Emma is the one who would have sat there all day watching them work and talking to/yelling at them thru the slider door.

The deck and sandbox were built and completed just in time for the party that we had with a bunch of friends.  I don’t even recall how many adults and kids were there, but we had a great time.  Oh yeah, you may also notice the gazebo we have on our deck - that was my mother’s day gift.  I LOVE it!

The last picture is terrible blurry, I couldn’t figure out the right setting on my camera.  But, you can definitely tell that it’s a picture of "Uncle" starting a massive fire.  Thank goodness we had a bunch of firefighters there.  Hahaha. 

Memorial Day weekend brought lots of bbq events.  We had a great weekend.  Here are some obvious "beginning of summer" pictures…

The Zeeland parade was full of excitement.  LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of tractors.  In fact, I think the tractor to all other group ratio was astronomical.  I’m sure that it is quite rare in comparison to other Memorial Day parades across the country.  The first pic is a a picture of my boss’s dad who is 92 yrs old and still takes his old cars all over the country.  He is a very cool man.  The second pic is a pic of a horse towing a Jeep Wrangler.  Not exactly sure what happened to the Jeep, but it died in the middle of the road (right in front of us) and it just so happened that the horses were following him and there was a tow strap in the Jeep.  It’s amazing how God was looking out for the group driving the Jeeps.  :)

Last, but not least, we had Kylie’s Preschool Graduation last week Thursday night.  It was a very cute program and I’m amazed at how quickly time flies.  I can’t believe that this coming fall, my firstborn is going to be starting Kindergarten and she’s going to be going to school full days, 5 days a week.

Well, that pretty much sums up our month of May.  I didn’t get around to doing a May desktop, but I did complete my June desktop. 

I think that I will have to go back and do my May desktop, just so that I have one.  Those are the only scrap pages that I have made and have made it a priority to make them.  I have downloaded lots of quickpages and free scrappin’ stuff, but I never seem to find the time to do anything with them.  But, I will be well set, once I decide to make that a priority.  Sometimes I wish that there were more hours in a day, but I’m not sure I would use them wisely anyway.  ;)  Thanks for hanging in there with me and all my pictures.  I hope you have a great week and I’m gonna start saying that I don’t know when I’ll get back here.  So, just don’t hold your breath in anxious anticipation.  LOL
