Sophia’s Fourth Birthday

July 27, 2015 - By Jen

Our sweet little princess turned four last week! We had so much fun celebrating her birthday. Sophia requested breakfast brownies for her birthday breakfast. In the afternoon she and the girls watched Grandma Mayes decorate her Dora cake. I also made cookie-filled chocolate cupcakes with raspberry fluff frosting. We ate pizza on the deck with Grandma Mayes, Grandma and Grandpa Kerr and cousins, Ender and Grey. Then we went to PlayWorld for a couple hours of play and exercise. Such a fun day; such sweet girl!

Trip to California

February 21, 2015 - By Jen

Aaron, Jonah and I took a trip to California earlier this month. Aaron’s brother and sister-in-law have lived in the San Francisco Bay area for five years, and we’ve been wanting to visit. We booked super cheap plane tickets and spent a long weekend in California while the girls stayed in Grand Rapids with Grandma and Grandpa Kerr. Though we picked a rainy weekend, we still had a fantastic time. The warm air felt great, and we really enjoyed spending time with family and friends. (Some of our friends from Mt. Pleasant now live in CA, too.)

Here we are, ready for take off! It was a long flight—4.5 hours—but Jonah did amazing! Lots of people complimented Jonah on being such a happy traveler.

The row of seats in front of us was empty, so we were able to spread out a little.

This serious little guy got to visit and have lunch at Apple Computers.

We toured Stanford University, where our friend Andy Saltarelli works. The church was beautiful!

This is worth reading!

Here are some photos from our fall so far. We’ve been busy raising five little sweethearts—there’s never a dull moment!

Birthday Vacation to Traverse City

October 6, 2014 - By Jen

About a week before my birthday in August, Aaron and I decided to take the family on a 3-day vacation to Traverse City. We rented a RV (which was delivered to our campsite) and stayed at Traverse City State Park. It was such a fun way to celebrate my birthday!
