Picture Update

There are so many little things that have been happening this spring/summer. Hopefully I will be able to update this blog in the next few weeks! Until then, here are some cute Spring pictures!

Drew colored this picture and brought it to Clearwater to give to Winter!

 Drew loves to carry things.. and people. Especially cute little people named Clint!

 Getting ready for Tulip Time 2015! We participated in Klomp the Record this year so we had to go to Dutch Village to get some new wooden shoes!

 Drew found the pair she wanted!

 We also went to the Critter Barn this Spring. I LOVE the Critter Barn! This time, we learned how to milk a GOAT!!!

 Clint and Drew both did amazing!

 They held baby chicks!

 I fell in love with this happy fella!

 Sweet boy got to hold a baby duck!

 Drew and Clint pose in this tree at my grandma's house every.single.Sunday! Here she is sporting her amazing cat face dress.

 And Clint is sporting his own amazing smile.

 Catching fish with some neighbors at the neighborhood pond!

 They kissed this moose! And they have the shirts to prove it!

 Tulip Time 1k run. They did AMAZING this year! Clint ran it all by himself and Drew didn't puke! Success!

 My sweet babies holding hands at the starting line!

 Her form is superb!

 I mean. Are you KIDDING ME?!?!? THIS FACE!

 I am not really sure what is going on here.. Clint is wearing the red pants, but it looks like her head is on his body.

 Next Drew had her R Star Showcase. She has been on the team track for a while, but she moved up to the level where she had a separate showcase, rather than the R Star Show she did the last 2 years. This is Drew's favorite gymnast, her name is Bre. She is also from Rockford and she is incredible! This summer Drew transitioned to 2-3 hour classes a week. It is pretty intense, but she loves it. Clint also transitioned to Ninja classes instead of gymnastics and he loves it!

Ivy and Lily, some of Drew's friends. Drew looks so old here!

My little Dutch girl..

And my precious Dutch boy!

We love the dancers!

My Dutch babies eating Dutch food, homemade by their Aunt Joey! These are a special recipe my family has been making since forever. We used to have big family get together's to make these as kids! They are called Saucijzebroodjes, or Dutch pig in the blankets.

 Aunt Joey makes food for the entire festival! I tried kale mashed potatoes this year. Delicious!

 I have more of these pictures on my real camera, but the kids look forward to this jumpy thing every year!

 On the way to Klomp the Record! Trying to break the record for the most people dancing in wooden shoes in one place!

 We didn't break the record, but we had fun! Jon even got some wooden shoes and learned the dance!

 These two cuties even made the news!

I love this picture of little buddy falling asleep praying. Or at least that is what I tell myself he was doing when he fell asleep! :)
