Levi Turns Nine

Levi is nine. So hard to believe how grown up he is getting. He loves soccer, school and reading. He likes helping Ryan, doing puzzles, swimming and is a great help and big brother most of the time.He still likes snuggling with his mom and dad at night and getting tucked in..so that is what we do.  He wanted a fit bit for his birthday and we got him that, a off brand one he was so excited. He also got alot of Under Armour gear, rubic cube and a new soccer ball. He wanted a cake with blue frosting and a steak dinner he got it all. So he was king this weekend  for sure. We had the grandparents over for  a  breakfast party for Levi and Luke to celebrate them both. They got more presents, puzzles, clothes and an electric scooter from G/G Koopmans that will be for all the kids to share.

Awards and Field Trips

We spent a lot of time at school the last couple of weeks. Maci got chosen to read at the last chapel of the school year the kindergarten led the chapel and she did great. She practiced and practiced her part of the worship. I also went on a field trip to the museum with Maci's class. Levi got two certificates at the Elementary Awards Ceremony. He got one for best penmenship in the grade and also for his art.

Luke Preschool Graduation

Luke was in the first graduating class of Nature Based Preschool at West Side Christian. What a fun and exciting year it has been for him. He had grown up so much and learned a lot! We are so proud of him. He did great at his graduation, singing songs and getting his certificate. He started crying in the car and did not want to leave, we went back inside and said some more good bye and he felt better.

Walker Memorial Day Parade

It was a beautiful day to go to a parade. We are getting to where we do not have to worry too much about a napper in the afternoon. Caleb has been pretty stubborn on his naps, skipping a couple times a week. I will fight him to go down though when needed! We loved watching the planes fly over head. The kids enjoyed getting candy and watching all the trucks! It was neat to see the kids clapping for the service men and women too.

Wanted to all match like Daddy.

Caleb with his treats. He would not let go of these suckers until he was at home and in his bed asleep.

Roedema Memorial Day- 2017

Readers and Sellers

Levi and Maci love to read! We read daily and go to the library all the time. We love books. I took this picture one night thinking this brother and sister reading together might not happen for too much longer. The same week during grandparents day we got one of them together on playground.

Other random activities have been Maci playing seller with Caleb while I am trying to make dinner they ring the door bell and ask for orders and pretend they are selling things. What a fun game :) !!

Mothers Day 2017

Caleb was sick with fever and throw up. Luke had been sick the week before. So this is what you get for Mother's Day. We split up for both going to church and the Mother's Day gatherings. At least we were all home and I did not have to work and no one else got sick. That is a good Mother's Day gift!!

We tried..on this picture...:)
