New earrings for Brooklynn. Abby was 3 years old when she got her ears pierced so we told Brooklynn she could have hers pierced when she turned 3. She is very proud of them and loves to show everybody!!

LOOK NO TRAINING WHEELS!!

Abby learned to ride her bike with no training wheels this summer. She had been wanting them off for a long time but everytime we took them off she would get to scared and was unable to balance. But this August we took them off and she took right off. She loves to go for bike rides now and see how fast she can go!!!

Brooklynn turns 3 years old!! For the second
year in a row Brooklynn had her party at a local
park. The weather was perfect and its so nice
to be outside. She had a Dora themed party
and was very excited about all the gifts that she
got!!!

Cousins at the park!!!

We don't usually go camping, but we decided to go this June with our small group from church. We went to Hoffmaster State Park for 3 days and had a good time. The girls thought sleeping in a tent and cooking over a fire was great. We borrowed a large tent that had 2 big rooms so there was plenty of space. The girls also thought Lake Michigan was pretty cool!!! Although it was quite cold they had fun playing along the shore.

Jenison, Memorial Day Parade. Every year we go to the Memorial Day Parade, the girls have learned it's a great place to get lots of candy. Tim is in the parade every year on one of the fire trucks. The girls always wait anxiously for him to come so they can yell hi!!!!

Yeah!!! I'm finally walking!! Olivia started walking when she was 13 months old. She caught onto it very fast and is now all over the place!!!

New Bikes!!! Well, kind of. Abby got her cousin,
Vivian's old bike and Brooklynn got Abby's old
bike!! They love to ride them around the
neighborhood.
