Hoppy Easter & These Boots were made for Brockin'

By -
Thank you for the Easter basket Granpeople Thomas!  Everything was a big hit in the basket except the animal crackers that Brock doesn't get to eat yet, maybe he'll save them for cousin Madeline, I know she will take them!  The fart machine was going to be amazing - I set it up for matt to discover while we were watching GOT, but Murphy's law took my jest to court!  The DVD remote was dead as we started the player, Matt asked where all the triple A batteries were.  I was quite coy and realized I was not going to be able to pull off the gag the way I intended and so I set the fart machine off (which used all the a3's in the house) to signify where all the a3's went.  He was so much less amused then I was.  Do I sound crazy right now?  I just read this back and it makes no sense.  Had to be there.  And be me.  Anyways, let's get back to the point, THIS BABY CAN WEAR A PAIR OF EARS LIKE A CHAMP!!



Brock doesn't quite get the suck action of the sippy cup... all in good time...


But he is loving something!  I have to get a pic of him in the "Dos Equis" tee, it was a big hit at Easter bloody Mary brunch but we, being the terrible photo opp folks that we are, did not think about taking one until, well, right now actually.  



So coy.


Thank you Easter bunny!


No relation to Easter, but OMG he is real cute in mama's boots.

Kindergarten graduation!

 Ah, the pomp and circumstance of a Kindergarten graduation.  The wonderful Principle Korth at the podium... The event began with the graduates singing a song to their teacher: And then the main event! Then we adjourned to the playground for cake and popsicles.  Alice with one of her closer friend, Chloe. And her AMAZING teacher who we will miss so much, Ms. Heintzelman! It has been a really good year! Alice has bloomed in reading and math and particularly in her interest and understanding of sociology and science. She even made a few friends! I can say I learned more from than even Brock's first year of public school. I began volunteering on Friday mornings in December after her school received 100 new refugee students from Venezuela (her school went from 200 to 300 in a day!). I did not want to volunteer in the classroom, but instead wanted to help out with admin, but that was not where humans were needed, so I ended up in the neighborhood third grade class. This was way outside

Camping Disc Golf 2017

Uh. When the going gets rough, the rough roughs it! And off we head to Michigan for our annual camping and disc golfing extravaganza. We are last minute campers and it worked to our advantage this year. As everything else was booked, we ended up at a little "secret" campsite we know of in western MI called Timberview. The nice old man that runs it got sick of loud campers, so he pulled all listings off of the internet. It's not on google maps. We were lucky enough to drive by one year and just stop in. And now that we have a kid, he set us up in the nicest secluded campsite, of which we took two pictures (we're bad at this sometimes.) There was wonderful hiking, an assortment of mushrooms to discover, and a giant hill of majestic old-growth pines that Brock aptly named "pine tree heaven." It's also quite refreshing to be in a site where you are actually allowed to gather your own firewood, and it's low-traffic enough that there is plenty.
