Looking Pretty...

Our deck is finally finished! Thanks to A.D.'s mom and dad for helping complete it!

Now we just need a couple chairs and we'll be all set for a BBQ! Isn't she pretty...

Can't Hardly Wait

In exactly two weeks from today we will be enjoying the Michigan sunshine at our annual summer vacation spot on the lake called Little Eden. Its a Mennonite campground that the same families have grown up attending the same week each summer since they were kids. I haven't missed a year since I was born. It's such a great place for old friends and family, and will always be special to A.D. and I because it is where we got engaged. This will be Mya and Blayn's first experience at a beach. Counting down the days till I can love on these little ones again...

The Deck

So we stumbled across some free composite wood from a friend and the boys decided to build a deck... After three days of hard word A.D. asked "Why did we build this, it looks like we have a stage in the middle of our back yard. I think we just decreased the value of our house!" HaHa. I think once we get some furniture up there it will look a little less awkard! :) But for now...here she is...

Cute as a button...

So my cousin Karla is having a baby shower this coming weekend and we are supposed to decorate onesies for the new baby. I showed my creation to A.D. and told him "Hey I should sell these things and call them cute as a button onesies." He laughed for about 10 minutes without taking a breath, then I smacked him. I thought it was a good idea. :)

April showers brought May flowers...

A.D. and his best friend Mike worked so hard all day Sunday building our paver wall. I know this is making me sound real old getting excited about landscaping, but it really is fun picking out all the different flowers and making our yard look pretty! I loved this cone shaped hanging basket from Lowe's. Now if only our neighbors would mow their lawn... :)

Pray for Scott

Please pray for Scott. He is my sister Jenae's boyfriend and currently serving our country overseas in Kuwait. We love you Scott!

Mother's Day

This year was a very special Mother's Day for all of us.

Mya and Blayn were dedicated at our church, Archbold Evangelical Mennonite.

The whole family then got together at the Pettisville park pavilion for a cook out to celebrate.

We also got to meet the newest member of the Grieser family, Decklin Paul, son of Chad & Amy.
