School is out for the summer!!!

Our niece/cousin Skyler Nadine was born on Mother's Day, May 13, 2012!

Here is Jude welding his basketball hoop with his goggles:)

We made a trip to the Tulip Festival to see our good friends the Schuiteman's last Thursday.  Here are the big three year olds (Bailey and Jude) holding hands all the way to the parade.

more hand holding!

This was about all the tulips we saw as they bloomed about a month ago.

The famous MOC marching band in their white Dutch wooden shoes.

And here are the two under one year olds (Mataya and Cora).

Cora loves to play outside and get dirty.  

And she loves the slide:)

She also loves the puppies and tolerates them well.

Well...school is out for the summer (unfortunately not forever).  I am going to full time next year, so I am going to try to get the most I can out of this summer.  That means sleeping in (until 8 am or later if the kids cooperate!!!), lots and lots and lots of playing, some working outside, some pool time, lots of family time, watching TV at night, maybe starting to meal plan, and maybe even getting a little tan!
