A quick update!

We are still in Michigan but I haven't posted anything and of course tons of stuff have happened. Brett and I took an amazing anniversary trip...i will post about that once i get back home. Genevieve's bday is next week so my friend had bday napkins at her house...Genna can't wait to turn 7....only one more year until she's baptized!!!!!!!!
The day before we left for Michigan I took Jolie to the eye Dr...turns out she has VERY bad eyes...so bad they made her glasses right there because they couldn't bare the thought of her going out of town and not seeing. When we get back she will pick up her other pair, which has bifocals in it...they say she will grow out of that...because her eyes are so bad it makes it hard for her to read with her glasses. It is so fun to see her seeing the world all over again...makes me think when i got glasses for the first time...except hers are soooo much cuter!!!

My family decided to go camping for ONE night up next to Holland MI....we packed a ton of gear and headed out to Jellystone park. The place was really nice and even had two pools. While at the pool Jillian had to go to the bathroom....she was walking in and tripped on the entrance...WAK...blood. The more i looked at it. the more i realized she needed to go to the ER...At the ER she sat in my lap so sweetly...once the dr. saw her he said yup she needs stitches...they put this numbing gel on it and within a half hour she was ready to be stitched. They put a warm blanket on her and let me lay down on the bed and hold her...she was SO brave...she didn't cry at all. She was nervous and wanted to put her hand up there but she let me hold her. Now she proudly shows any and all her stitches. Her aunt Crystal who is a pediatric nurse is taking her stitches out today. So now it'll just be a cool scar.


Big Jake is a growing boy! He loves trucks, cars, balls and dirt! He is such a happy climbing boy. He needs a haircut but i'm waiting until we get home so daddy can be there..plus I am hoping *hint hint* aunt Jennifer will do the honors.....isn't he so blonde.
Well here's a little update and once we get back we leave for great wolf lodge with all of brett's family even his grandma so hopefully i'll have more pics!
