9 already!

I can't believe how fast they grow up! We celebrated Emily's 9th birthday on Saturday with a party for her and her cousin Hailey who's 6.

Then we went to Denny's that evening (kids eat free on Saturday nights... ya we're Dutch). Marie took one look at the food and got sick. Then Emily got sick and they kept us up all night... Nice way to end the day! :)

Josh the tax man/loan officer

We went to the open house at the new bank where Josh is now a loan officer.
Isn't it great to get a job you enjoy? Good luck Josh.

A baby shower for Robert

Sorry, Jen, I couldn't resist posting this pic!
It was fun to watch everyone play the baby diaper game.

Our sanity break

...at least, that's what we like to call it although it was more of a break from sanity. Lots of fun! Don't worry Jenn & Bobby, I'm only posting the picture and not the videos :)
