Last night we had a tornado warning for Kalamazoo county. Luckily, the warning was for a storm that had the potential to create a tornado that was north of Portage (by where we used to live in Cooper). Since Libby and I were checking to see if we needed to eat dinner down stairs, Violet…
Grandpa Chuck helped to replace the hot water heater a couple weeks back. It's working great, so I brought up the box to recycle it. Before I did, I let the kids play in it. It has been a boat, a ramp for race cars, a house, a counter for a store, and many other…
Yesterday was yet another early daycare day for the kids. I picked them up right after lunch and came back home for nap. I made a decision that we were not going to watch any TV, so I tried my best to keep them occupied with quality activities. I did a great job! We played…
Feb 15, 2012 (age 1 year, 10 mo) I got a picture of Hayden a few weeks ago after he had climbed into the cat bed. He climbs up and calls for Mike and I. He knows very well that he’s not supposed to climb up there, but he’s there nonetheless. He loves to climb…

“I’m so mad at you, mommy! I’m so mad at you I want to throw you out of the house!” – Violet @ 8:10pm I was in the process of getting ready to put her to bed, but she wasn’t ready. She wanted to play ONE MORE GAME, but I’m a stickler for schedules and…
This morning, both kids were just little pistols. Sometimes that’s a little infuriating when I just want to get to work, but this morning it was just so darn cute, I couldn’t help but laugh along with them. They both decided that they were going to pick out their own clothes. Violet did a really…
This morning Hayden hapagee geed (had to go pee). He was squatting down grunting. Listening to this, I quickly rushed him to the bathroom and sat him on the potty. After two drops of pee came out, he said that he was all done. Realising the being done debate was not one that I was…
This morning, Hayden woke up happy as ever. As we were getting ready for work, Hayden said “Kiss Mama…” Being a loving mother, Libby went to give Hayden a kiss and he abruptly said “Kiss Watch Mama…” He was wearing my watch on his arm. For the next few minutes, he was giving big loud…
