Susan's 40th bash

Happy Birthday Susan! We got her...she was totally surprised! We were all waiting at her house when she came back! Me with Amyah, Joel's daughter. We were testing the fruit on the edible arrangement.

And finally Susan arrives!

Ben at the York Zoo

I took Ben to the Zoo early in the summer and he just loved it. He ran around the zoo as fast as he could to see everything. Ben getting pretty close to the ducks.

Ben admiring the very big turtles.

And Ben feeding the deer.

Tristan Little League

Tristan's baseball team did very well all season this year but unfortunately lost in the year end tournament. Here's some good shots of the playoff games. Tristan is just about to pitch in the picture below...
Getting ready to bat.

Good form! Here's T with one of his hits.

And the cheering fans, me, Pops, and Matt. Reid and Ben are probably at the playground.

West Branch Pond 2009

Do you think this moose is real? We drove right by it thinking it was fake! Too funny. Doesn't it look perfect there in front of the sign? We are almost to West Branch at this point. Here we are with Pops at the sign at the beginning of Frenchtown road. Only 10-11 miles on dirt road from here.

And one with Matt.

I was determined to toast some marshmallows, even if it was raining! Matt took the kids outside to cut some toasting sticks. S'mores!

Reid and Ben fishing with Daddy. Matt is probably fighting with the leader that is tangled....fly fishing is so fun!

We usually play lots of whiffle ball at West Branch Pond. Here is Reid taking a big swing.

And Ben's big swing.

Ben sitting with " " Eric and Mildred's dog....I just can't think of her name right now. Ben is patiently waiting for his turn to hit again.

Ben and daddy out fishing....

Our traditional picture by the sign....

Matty and I posing for the timer on the camera and for our family picture.

Here we all are! What a great picture! Reid was not really cooperating but oh well.

Here's another shot with just Matt, Reid, Ben and I.

Reid's first tooth

Reid lost her first tooth on April 22nd! I was helping her brush her teeth and I brushed it right out! The very next morning she lost the other bottom front tooth while she was eating her peanut butter toast.

Easter 2009

Reid went to an Easter Egg Hunt at one of our local schools and she got a picture with the Easter Bunny.
Here is Reid on Easter morning.

And T-Byrd with his new comic book.

Ben with his new train. Ben was sick on Easter...still. Poor guy didn't get any chocolate on Easter! We found out the next day he had Strep again.

Here's Reid in her new outfit she got on Easter at the end of her scavenger hunt.

Tristan with his toy after the scavenger hunt.

Shelly, Greg, Keenan, and Quinn came down for Easter dinner at our house. Dabid came for dinner too. Keenan and Quinn are playing guitar hero in the picture below.
