We're Sorry

It has been so long since we have posted to the blog. Not even going to make any excuses. What we are going to do is move pictures from the camera today and put up some posts from the past few months.

Later

Schipper Clan Comes to Town

We got the chance to go see the Schipper clan at Adam Johnson's in Hopkins last Thursday. We finally got to meet Wyatt and HP and Gracyn had a fun time with bubbles and running around. It's so nice to get to see them and I know that sometime we'll be able to hang out again when we move to the same area. Did you know that Luke and I went to the same elementary, middle school, high school, college? Crazy.

Primrose 4th of July Parade

HP had a 4th of July parade where Nana, HP and Beth put together a float (wagon). It was pretty cool and all the kids had a great time

More 4th of July

I continue to apologize for going from 10 posts a month down to like 2. I think I figured it out. It's because we spend so much time on Facebook that we sometimes forget about the blog roll. I apologize for that. Anyway, here is a link to our 4th of July 2009 album.

4th of July

We are going to be heading to Grand Rapids to spend the 4th of July holiday! We are so excited to have a long weekend and spend time with family.

Hailey has moved up and is now in tap dance class. She did great in her first class and is way less timid than in the class with the younger kids. She also started gymnastics a few weeks back and LOVES it! It is the greatest thing ever for her. She loves to tumble around, play on the bars and walk the balance beam. Hopefully we'll get some pictures of those soon.

My summer break is coming to an end way too fast. I start school again in two weeks. I can't wait until it's all wrapped up in December!

Beth is on her summer schedule now so life is calming down a little bit for her. We are still looking for a house and really hope to get in before the winter. Pray to the house fairy for us!

Scooter, Ashyr, and GR adventures

Well it has been awhile since I have been able to find the time to post. I will warn you the pictures might not be in good order but I will do my best. Over Memorial Weekend we were lucky enough to spend some time in GR. Here is what Hailey, Jim, and I have been up to....

The GR Children's Museum:

Paging Dr. Hailey. Gosh she is cute.


Little Red Riding Hood.

Loving the Boats

I wonder who had more fun?????

My very musical girl... she LOVED the piano

And Grampi LOVED the drums.... ROCK OUT!

A little munchkin

Baby Ashyr was the focus of the weekend. Here is Grandma Betty with her two littlest Great Grandchildren.

Hailey's hands are SOOO big. She is not so little anymore

This is our first time holding and seeing Ashyr.

Jim coaching Tony on the first poopy diaper...

I love this picture. Grandma Betty's face captures it all.

Playing ball with Grampi
Hailey on her scooter. She loves it but goes quite slow...

Well pictures are in reverse order but you get the point.

I survived the 2008-2009 school year. WOW it went fast. I learned alot and am excited to have an even better 2009-2010. Thinking I graduated from High School 10 years ago is something that hasnt quite digested yet.

Greetings

Seriously, has it been over a month since we posted? Oh man, I'm sorry. There has been alot going on! Have I ever said "there's not much going on?", oh well I digress.

Tony and Heathyr had their baby the Thursday before Memorial Day. We were up there to meet "little" Ashyr James Dean Dahline and it was a really nice time. He weighed in at 10lbs, 2ounces. Go figure Tony's kid would come out 3 lbs heavier than HP was.

We had great weather and enjoyed just relaxing at the Dahline compound on Pokegama. Can't wait to get back.

I just finished another school term. I'm now on Summer break for 6 weeks. Can't wait to start back up though because I have 2 classes next term, 1 class the next and then I'm done. It has been such a long road, but fulfilling. The girls have been so supportive and I thank them so much for sticking with me. I sure hope neither of us choose to get our PhD's!

We haven't yet bought a house. We've found a few we like, but for some reason are so picky because of what we went through in Lincoln. We really want to get into something by Fall though. I'll keep you all posted.

Well, better bet back to work. Take care.
