Utah Trip

Hey Everyone! This is Joy. Jim and I hope that everyone has a safe trip to Utah and takes a lot of pictures for us. We will keep all of you in our prayers for safe travel and protection. We look forward to hearing the adventures that occurred and seeing pictures of family on the blog! Love you all and have fun!! :)

Father's Day

For Dad's Father's Day gift this year, we went to Greenfield Village where we had lunch at the Eagle Tavern and then watched a baseball game played by the rules of 1867.  No mitts and no cursing.  Here are some pictures that I took.

Springtime

We've had a pretty nice spring here in Michigan.  Here's a few pictures from our family.

Harvey played soccer this spring.  To start here are the pictures of Harvey enjoying soccer that are BIG FAT LIES!

He was the strongest player on the team (he got 7 goals in a 15 minute game) and his ball handling skills are amazing.   Much better than mine ever were.

BUT, he hated soccer!  Well, he hated it during soccer practice, afterwards he swore he loved it.  He cried the entire hour the first week. Things got better, a bit, as the season went on but we didn't even end up being able to stay the whole last practice because he was being so miserable.  So here are the pictures of what soccer was really like.

He's crying in that last one and then scored a goal two seconds later.

Harvey graduated from preschool last week.  He was so excited that Grandma came.  He said it made it like a real graduation.  Isn't the pencil sketch pic cool?  I've been playing around with our photo editing software.

 The lady in blue is Harv's fantastic teacher, Miss Becky.  We've really loved her.

Other than soccer, the other major adventure this spring was going to my friend Alison's wedding.  This was the wedding I beaded all the flowers for.  Harvey was the ring bearer and I was the Maid of Honor (I refused the title "matron").  Shirley essentially ended up making my dress.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!!  It turned out great.  Here are some pics from the wedding.

It was a great wedding.  Climbing the tree was Al's idea, and, yes, the girls are in their stilettos in the tree.

I have new pics of Walter but I don't know how to convert a pdf to a jpg.  I'll have Kurt post it later.  Walter's doing great, he's definitely a kicker.  My gestational diabetes seems to be under control and I'm feeling pretty good most of the time.  We're sloooowly working on getting baby stuff ready.  Hopefully we'll be mostly set up when he gets here.  Not like he'll notice.

See everyone in 2 1/2 weeks!
