Joshua Can Walk!!!!

Yeah!! Joshua is starting to walk more and more. He still gets tired easily and will then take a few tumbles, but it is so neat to see him walking on his own. Here is a great video of him doing just that.

Happy Birthday----Jaxen Joshua and Gracie!!!

Jaxen, Joshua and Gracie had a great birthday. They all got wonderful toys and we had fun with family and friends when they came over for cake and icecream. Here are pictures of the kids opening their gifts. Thanks to all.

Jaxen opening his toy truck. It took us a while to get him to open this gift. He kept throwing it on the floor because he wanted to play with his baseball glove. Now he loves it as it is big enough to sit in the back and watch TV.

Gracie opening her Trinkerbell Outfit.

Dress-Ups

One thing my kids love to do is: Playing Dressup. Even the boys love to change their clothes and pretend to be someone else. So, for their birthday, they all got costumes to play in. Even the boys got their own outfits: Superman and Woody from Toys Story. Here they are in all their glory:


Gracie as Tinkerbell. This was her favorite costume and one she does not let anyone else wear.




Joshua as Superman. Look at those muscles.

Got Cake?

Here are the triplets eating their birthday cake.

Baby Rachel

Rachel now goes from creeping to sitting and loves it. She is such a happy baby and follows me from room to room playing at my feet.


Here is Rachel creeping to see what daddy is doing.


Here she is in the Kitchen playing while mommy cooks dinner.

Monkey Business

Ryan got this mask when he went to see "The Dark Night" at 11:30 at night. Morgan loved it and wore it around the house all day. She was just so darn cute I had to take pictures. Ryan thought it was funny that she smiled for the camera and didn't realize we could only tell by her eyes.

John Ball Zoo

Friday Ryan came home early and we went to the zoo for a couple of hours. We had a great time. The kids love looking at the animals. We even got adventurous and let them walk when we went into the enclosed places.

The kids and Ryan in the petting zoo with goats, cows, sheep and chickens.


Morgan's favorite the tiger taking a bath while waiting for dinner.

Movie Night

We have been letting the kids watch movies (cartoons or Disney Movies) and eat popcorn on Saturdays after their nightly bath. They love the popcorn, and watch a little of the movie. Morgan loves it because she gets to stay up a little later.

Who's Who in the Pink Dress?

I told you that I took pictures of all three girls in the same pink dress. It took some digging and it was fun to see all the

baby pictures of Morgan again. Can you tell who is who?

Hi Grandma and Grandpa MacPherson!

Here are five families and 18 grand children that were able to get together for the 4th of July Holiday. We love you!!!

Tubing on the Muskegon River

Here are some pictures of us on the 4th of July. We went tubing by the Croton Dam on the Muskegon River. We all had a blast. We also had quite a group. Andrew's, Zach's, Shauna's, Mariah's families were there as well as, friends the Gotchall's and the Thompsons.

Memorial Day and Evan's Baptism

Things are out of order, but we forgot our camera for this special weekend andRyan's sister sent us these pictures. We went to Mariah's house for Memorial Day weekend because her son Evan was getting baptized.
