HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYLIE!

Where does the time go? It just feels like yesterday I was holding my sweet baby girl in my arms and now she picks out her own shoes in the morning. Our Kylie is TWO today! We had such a fun day, I tried to do all of her favorite things. She got to pick out a donut at the donut shop, of course she picked out the one with the most frosting and sprinkles and then ate the frosting off and left the donut, that's my girl! Then we went to the Children's Museum with my mom and she loved exploring there. Then it was off to Culver's for a hot dog and icecream! Then tonight we had our family over for cake and icecream. She got spoiled with presents and after every time she opened something she would say "OPEN IT?" She'll have a lot of fun in the next couple days playing with all her new toys. She had a "Nemo and Dorie" cake and was intrigued by everyone singing Happy Birthday to her. She is now finally in bed, I think 9:30 is pretty good taking in that much sugar today!

Bellaire/Charlevoix

We have been busy! We took a little get-away up north with Joel's family this past weekend. His mom rented a house for a week in Bellaire, Shanty Creek. It was so nice! His sister and brother-in-law came with their kids from South Dakota, it was so nice to visit and relax. We then headed to Charlevoix on Saturday, just us 3, and stayed at my cousin Carrie's cottage on Lake Michigan. The best sound to fall asleep to is waves crashing, we didn't want to come home! We had dinner in Charlevoix and got taffy and fudge, it was great family time! Now it's back to reality. My grandma is in the hospital, Joel's grandpa had brain surgery, his sister had heart surgery and 2 of our friend's had babies! We have been at the hospital making the rounds! This weekend it is our 6 year Anniversary and then it's Kylie's 2nd Birthday next week! Busy, but good.
