The Pedouins Family~Biking to Alaska

My friend Candace, knows a guy who is house sitting for this family while they travel across the United States to Alaska on their bike with their 3 kids. I think it is an awesome life lesson and once in a lifetime experience. What do you think about them?

Miss Princess, Kirstin.

Our 11 year old neice, Kirstin decided to run for Princess from her hometown days..there was her and another young girl running along with the Queen's court and the Jr. Princess court. We decided to surprise her and show up for the show. Little to our surprise she was chosen! You should have heard her speech she wrote..it was the best speech there of the entire night..even from the older high school girls who ran for queen..I was shocked! I did not know she could write the well for being only 11 years old. We were all so proud of Kristin. We love you!

Kirstin had just been crowned the 2009 Princess..I love her smile of excitement here!

Of course Nolan could not stop eyeing those cookies that sat behind us all night and he was so happy when he could finally sample his fair share of cookies and punch..lol

Tim, such a proud daddy momment for him with Kirstin!

Mother's Tea

Every year our preschool, Holt Cooperative Preschool does a wonderful job at making the mom's feel special for Mother's Day. The 3's class helps to put on a breakfast for the 4's class and vice versa..it is very sweet to watch the kids and the gifts they make us..I love all that kind of homemade stuff from the kids!





His class sang a cute song for all their mommy's!


Here is Landon greeting me as he walked up the stairs with Mrs. Truelove...very cute!

Landon Turned the BIG 5!

Jim took the day off from work to help celebrate his birthday and attend Landon's last preschool field trip. snif snif....


Nolan is not a morning person..he is like his dad and his brother Landon. His face is cracking me up... He is with his future teacher at Holt Cooperative Preschool, Mrs. Truelove.


I kept Ian out of school that morning so he could enjoy the field trip as well since his school does not do field trips.


They do a little awards cermony at the end of the session..it was cute!


He loves his scooter!


His new Heely's! I would say he was pretty spoiled that day...


Devin and Landon really are best friends! They were excited about their new Lego Batman Wii game from Grandma Kellogg!


Brothers


I love how he is in his Awana vest for this picture....

Boys and Their Bikes....

Too funny about Landon wanting his picture taken in the back of Jim's car!


I do like this one of them riding down the sidewalk together...Ian and Nolan. I love having 4 because Devin and Landon are best of friends and so are Ian and Nolan!


On this day...Devin had been avoiding riding his bike..in fear. So Jim made him ride his bike and would not allow him to ride his scooter or do anything else..because he needed to get over his fear of learning to ride a bigger bike..considering he is 8 now..come on, right?

I love this one the best! He fell and was trying to be drama king..It was priceless!

Trying and trying...


Here he is showing us his pouty face..lol

Easter....way late on these..just catching up..ha!

Nolan received a new spiderman pillow for Easter. Devin received a new Bible and it worked out perfectly because he had to take a Bible to camp a couple of weeks ago so he had one! They all received matching t-shirts as well. It was fun having my neice, Hannah join us to color eggs and my mom!

June 23

Today is a special day in our lives.....

1. It would have been my grandparents 73rd wedding anniversary. They made it 72 1/2 years together before grandpa passed away on Jan. 25th!

2. Landon was adopted and officially became a Peiffer 4 years ago. He is now 5 years old.



I hope you can see this picture ok.

Finally, it is done!

Sorry I have been MIA lately. I have been working on this video for days for my grandpa's celebration of his life party on this upcoming fathers day on his farm. It will be a wonderful time to see all my family and remember our sweet grandpa!

Here it is..

Are Women Born This Way??

My friend Sarah sent me this and it is so FUNNY and TRUE...enjoy!

A Day Out with Thomas The Train

I took Ian on a special mom and Ian day! We went on a Sunday just the two of us. He loved it. He loved every minute of Thomas the Train. He was so EXCITED to see Thomas and ride on him. I bought him a special Thomas hat and shirt..it is his favorite shirt and he has to wear it weekly and would wear it daily if it was washed..LOL I am looking forward to taking Nolan there next year.

Splash Universe

We had asked Devin and Landon what they would rather do for their birthdays 1. each have a party like last their or 2. take the money and go one night at Splash Universe? They picked the waterpark and Jim and I were glad! Jim took the Thursday off from work giving him a 5 day weekend over Easter. We stayed one night in Dundee, MI. We all loved it! I was so impressed with Ian for even going off by himself and braving the water slide and the wade pool. It was so awesome there..we put each boy in a life jacket the entire time and there were tons of lifeguards..Jim and I of course stayed very close to Nolan, being that he is only 2 1/2. Devin and Landon were able to do whatever they wanted because they were tall enough for all the rides by themselves...(Landon was thrilled) the park was small enough to allow for that freedom yet big enough to feel like a very nice park! I would strongly recommend this.
On Friday after check out we decided of course (we would not miss this) to take the boys to their first trip to Cabella's. They LOVED it. I was then able to go to the wine store and buy a few bottles of yummy wine that was on major sale! It was a win win..on the way home I talked Jim into letting us get off an exit for coffee and the GPS took us way out to a hick town in the middle of nowhere for coffee..I even ordered Jim the wrong coffee..opps! We were not in a hurry to get home so it was fun strolling the country roads..ha!

I can not believe it has been 10 years!!

10 years ago Jim and I were married....we were pretty young. I was 23 (almost 24) and Jim was 26. At least it seems young to me..LOL my parents were much younger and so my grandparents..so maybe we were old?? HA!
