Morgan's 1st grade Lunch and Morgan and Gracie's Room

Ryan was able to go with Morgan and eat lunch.  She was bery excited to have her dad all to herself and school and to introduce her friends.  Here are some pictures at lunch.

Ryan captured the girls one night while sleeping.  Since they share a bed, it's funny to see the different positions they find themselves in and all the different stuff they put in their bed with them.  It's cute now because they are not fighting.

Art Prize Grand Rapids 2011

In Grand Rapids, they have an Art Contest called Art Prize.  The artwork is placed all over town and you get to walk around and enjoy the city while enjoying the art.  Here are some pictures we took of all of us enjoying Art Prize 2011.

Park 2 Park Half Marathon and a Beach Trip

In September, some friends at church and my lovely husband Ryan talked me into running my first Half Marathon.  So,  I decided to give it a try.  I started the Marathon with Janet and Cyndi, then Suzanne finished it with me.  Yes, I finished it.  I ran my first Half Marathon in 2 hours and 15 minutes.  This was a great time and truly surprised me.  I was expecting it to take a little longer.  Here are pictures at the end of the race.

After the race, we took the kiddos to the beach and climbed around on the Sand Dunes.  We had a great time.  Here are some pictures at the Beach.

Allegan County Fair

We took the kids to the Allegan County Fair.  We have a great time walking around and looking at all the animals and then riding a few rides.  Here are some pictures of the kids on one or two rides.

Rachel's 4th Birthday

On September 6th, Rachel turned 4.  She was so excited to celebrate at Chuck E Cheese.  We had a great time playing games and eating cupcakes.  Even the Gotschall's were able to be there which made it that much more fun.  Here are some pictures, however, they are not the great and I'm not sure why.

Labor Day at MVP

Labor day was the last day that the outdoor pool was open at MVP.  We took full advantage of it and went swimming.  It was a beautiful day.  Here are some pictures of the kiddos.

Family and the Beach

As I posted before, we had Grandma and Grandpa MacPherson and Uncle Andrew's family come for a visit.  We made sure that we went to the beach while we were here.  Here are some more pictures at Holland State Park and Tunnel Park here in Holland, Michigan.
