Living LIFE

Wow, the last few weeks have been BUSY! We had a fun time enjoying Valentine's Day at school celebrating with the 1st grad and 4th grade classes:) 

(Ok- So I tried to post these pics in order- YET the blog mixes them all up again-LOL Sooo, I appolize for the random pics throughout this post! )

Then MID-WINTER-Break Came along and we spent some much needed Mommy and kids time together.  We spent a day at the Grand Rapids Children Museum.  And then exploring some alley's in GR.

We finally got some much anticipated SNOW- so the kids loved playing outside!

Then last week I had the privlege of joing my Son's 4th grade classes on a trip to LANSING.  We got to visit the State Capital Building and the Muesum. I have never been there- and I have to admit it was very neat experience!  I really just want to go back to wander around and really take it all in!!! There was sooo much to see and sooo many AMAZING, Beautiful details!

 These are what school portraits use to look like:)

 The kids got to sit in old school desks and learn about school "way back when".

 THIS IS exactally why I LOVE my Front Porch- love having porch night with FRIENDS' and hope my kids grow up loving our front porch - just as much as I do.  SOOO many memories to be made!
