"Pop Pop's" Christmas Train. Merry Christmas 2008

Boys and their toys.

Merry Christmas

I had help finishing up my Christmas decorations last night. They did a great job! Thank you Josiah and Isaac! The grand children's stockings are ready. I even have my shopping done. Just need to make some Christmas cookies yet.

Last Years Christmas Tree

What do you think? Will grandpa Hill come home with a bigger tree than last year? Every year I keep telling him to bring home a smaller tree and they keep getting bigger. Will post a picture of the new tree when it comes home.

Veggie Tales live

What a fun night! Josiah and Isaac just loved watching Veggie Tales At Central Wesleyan Church. They sat still for 2 hours straight and both of them were singing some of the songs by the end of the night. It was lots of fun just watching the boys.

Logan is 2

Can't believe he is 2 years old already. He is talking like crazy and such a good 2 year old. The cousins had a great time at his birthday party. They even got cupcakes with ice cream and lots of sprinkles.

Another sleep over at grandma's house

Adam spent the night at grandma's house this weekend and helped bake cookies. He loves to help make cookies and did an awesome job of opening all the chocolate kisses without even eating one until he was finished. We had lots of fun!

Another hunter in the family????

What do you think. Will she be hunting too?

Sleepover at Grandma's house

Josiah and Isaac spent the night at grandma's and pop pop's house. We went to Zeeland first and painted pumpkins and rode a donkey and held bunny rabbits for pumpkin fest. I tucked Isaac into bed in the basement and was helping Josiah brush his teeth and get ready for bed, then I got Josiah all tucked in bed I went back to check on Isaac and found him sound asleep right on the steps coming upstairs. Good thing he did not move or he would have rolled down those stairs. Tomorrow its off to the pumpkinfest parade.

2008 Race For the Cure

Team Audrey raised $767 for the cure for breast cancer this Saturday. We had a great day of sunshine for the walk. Thanks to all who donated to this cause! This is 5 of the 6 Hill grandchildren. It is hard to get them all to sit and smile at the same time. Also included are pictures of our kids and grandkids and my friend Bonnie and her daughter and grandaughter. Thousands of people came out to walk or run in Grandville.

Football and apple picking

Tulsa is playing football on WO team. Go Panthers! He is the one on the right of the team, number 64. Logan is happy to watch as long as he has his juice.



Tammy, Logan and I went to pick apples at Cranes orchard and Logan was a huge helper.

Wisdom Tooth and DC

I had a wisdom tooth removed Friday. It was a barrel of fun! Actually my mouth feels much better than the last 3 weeks of suffering with pain from that huge tooth. It had to be cut out and only took about 10 minutes for Dr VanWieren to remove it. I was in DC for a week for an event with work and we went to see the Pentagon memorial on the day we flew back home. Here is the group of employees that went to DC. In the background of the Pentagon you can see the new brick that replaced where the plane hit. It was very eerie to see planes flying overhead and so real to see the families paying tribute to their loved ones. This memorial just opened 9/11/08 and many of the families were visiting it for the first time.

Car show

Misti, Josiah, Isaac and I went to a car show Cruise-In Fundraiser for 2 Brothers with Muscular Dystrophy on Friday night. Josiah just loves old cars and he was like a little kid in a candy store only worse. He had to stop and get his picture taken by every "cool" car. I took 43 pictures of him and then my camera battery died so we had no choice but to just look at the cars instead. He would stop by each car and pose for me. (Normally he hates to have his picture taken but this was different). Here are just a few of the pictures from our fun night. One of the owners even let the boys get in their car. Josiah was in his glory.
