Stephanie is 4!!!!

On July 20- Stephanie greatly enjoyed her 4th Birthday! She had been anxious for the day to arrive!

We celebrated the day with a special lunch with her friend Jade and the mommies. We then went to the mall for a carousel ride and a little shopping.



Then in the evening Stephanie enjoyed a party with all her loving family. Aunts, uncles, cousin, grandparents and even great grandparents. She loved all the attention and gifts. We all love to see her excited and happy! She is a joy to all who love her!

Besides the abundance of new polly pockets...Mom and Dad got Stephanie an easel for her art projects. Stephanie is really into drawing and making pictures. Hopefully, she will have fun with this for hours to come in the future!

Doesn't Stephanie look like a big 4 year old with her new short haircut?

Welcome the Ranch "Reunion"

We enjoyed some fun, filled, family days at the Double J Ranch.

We met up with the entire VerWys family(Rebecca's dad's side) for a few days and nights at the Double J Ranch up near Muskegon. The accommodations were wonderful and with the company of the 35+family it was great!

Lasting Memories were made!

One of the main attractions to the resort was it's indoor water park. Cortney thought it was a bit chilly in the cooler water, but Stephanie found lots to play with and she enjoyed the lazy river. Even great grandma and great grandpa had fun relaxing around on the tubes. Jeff and Becca had fun racing down the slides together when not on parent duty.





Otherwise, it was just fun hanging out, talking, eating and playing with family you don't see much! Of course we were toke lots of great pictures ... Getting 8 little ones to smile for a picture is quite entertaining! My two girls were the beginning and the end of this picture. Cortney definitely was at her "end" on this occasion!



I'll try to post a picture of the whole group sometime! 4 generations is a cool thing!
