Spring is here...

FUN FUN FUN!!!

Miles and Mom took a trip to Michigan this past weekend and left Dad alone at to work/play at the house. We had a lot of fun meeting Cindy and the girls for dress fittings for the wedding, and then at lunch. Miles, of course, kept us all very entertained. Later on Saturday, Miles, Mom, and Grandma Janell went over to visit Great Grandma Spicer where Miles really liked helping clean up the yard and meeting the neighbor boy. We played with Auntie Manda Sat night. Then on Sunday, we played at the mall play area all morning and went to Lowell to meet Grandma and Grandpa Pfaller for dinner at Balls- and got to see both of their new cars! Miles, Mommy and Grandma had their first Balls of the year! It was a great weekend, so glad we got to see everyone!

Cookie making is definitely one of Miles favorite things to do. Mine too, now that I think about it.

A picture of our semi completed, semi destroyed attic that will become our Master Suite over the next few months. We have spent weeks now scraping the wonderful popcorn finish off of all of the ceilings AND walls- and next weekend we shall start framing out the new walls and installing the electrical!

Here is that lovely popcorn finish that has given us so many hours to bond with our new room.

Miles looking sweet. Note the grass stained shorts and scuffed up knees?

Yeah, she was loving her some Miles after driving a ridiculously long period of time in comparison the the ridiculously short amout of time Auntie Manda got to spend with us. That's why we love her.

Great Grandma Spicer got the luxury of having three helpers on Saturday. This is one of the ONLY pictures I have of them together. She and Miles cleaned up pine cones and pine needles down by the water while Mom and Grandma Janell were busy with other yard work.

Miles and Ben, the 5-yr-old neighbor boy, spent a good hour or so chasing each other around the yard and trying to play soccer. Daddy has done an amazing job of teaching Miles to tackle and 'protect' the ball, because none of us could keep the kid from diving on top of it every time he got near. I don't think Ben was impressed- though Daddy would have been proud.
