The Hill Family

Camping with the Telgenhof family

2009-08-16T21:38:00.006-04:00

This is our pop up camper we bought this year. Sure beats sleeping in a tent in the rain. The kids had a ball playing in the mud.

We had a great weekend camping at Indian Valley campground. Canoeing and Kayaking was great fun! We even got some fishing and swimming in too.

Great Grandma Dykema with Isaac

2009-05-25T19:58:00.004-04:00

We enjoyed a cook out this weekend for Isaac's coming home party. It was 4 years ago that I got to go along with Dan, Misti, Josiah and Bonnie Trap to bring Isaac home forever. What an awesome day that was. This picture is of my mom Great grandma Dykema and Isaac enjoying the scrapbook that Misti made for him of those 4 years.

Gilmore Car museum

2009-05-25T19:05:00.002-04:00

We enjoyed a day away with the Trap family to a car museum. It was a beautiful day to walk around and enjoy all the nostalgia of the years gone by. The top picture is our first car together. This was a 72 Chevelle and it looks just like the one we owned years ago.

Easter 2009

Ready for the Hill Easter egg hunt and pinata.

Watch out World!

2009-01-25T15:26:00.008-05:00

I received an awesome Christmas gift of all the grandkids together in a frame. It was one of the best gifts this year other than spending time with all of them throughout the year. Someone had fun dressing up the kids. Wonder where they will all be 20 years from now? Time sure flies when you are enjoying life!

2009-01-01T22:01:00.007-05:00

Happy New Year to all.
Summer is just around the corner. Think warm and it will come. I am ready for this winter and cold to be done. Another year is here.

Merry Christmas

2008-12-10T20:29:00.012-05:00

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

2008-11-21T21:07:00.005-05:00

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

2008-10-20T22:30:00.003-04:00

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

2008-10-20T22:20:00.003-04:00

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

2008-10-20T22:11:00.005-04:00

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????

2008-10-04T18:57:00.005-04:00

What do you think. Will she be hunting too?

Sleepover at Grandma's house

2008-10-04T13:13:00.006-04:00

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

2008-09-30T22:57:00.007-04:00

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

2008-09-30T22:33:00.007-04:00

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

2008-09-20T14:39:00.007-04:00

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

2008-09-07T16:06:00.015-04:00

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.

2008-08-15T21:41:00.006-04:00

Please join us in the Race for the Cure this year. You can either sign up to walk or run with us or support us with a donation. Last year Misti put together a team to participate in the Race for the Cure. We had 19 members on the team and raised $750.00 for the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Misti put together Team Audrey. This is in memory of Dave's mom and our kids grandmother who passed away from breast cancer in 2005. She was a wonderful women to say the least!

Craig's Cruisers

2008-08-06T23:31:00.004-04:00

Adam and grandma had a great time at Craig's Cruisers Wednesday night. (Grandma's work summer picnic)We rode on the race cars 4 times. Played skeet ball and drove a boat on the water and crashed into the walls. He brought home a giant snake to scare his momma and a whole bag full of goodies.

A swinging grandpa

2008-07-18T21:13:00.003-04:00

Baseball trophy and a frog

Tulsa just finished playing
machine pitch baseball.
He did an awesome job

I made this beach towel for Isaac.
Doesn't he make an adorable frog?
Now we just have to get to the
beach again to try it out for real.

Logan and his guitar

2008-06-22T22:17:00.002-04:00

Elvis Presley watch out! Here comes Logan. He just loves jamming with his guitar. It only took grandma about 30 tries to get him to sit still long enough to get a picture. Thank goodness for digital cameras. I think he will be famous some day!

Playground fun

2008-06-22T21:55:00.006-04:00

Grandkids are awesome!

2008-06-09T23:13:00.000-04:00

I took Josiah and Isaac to play at Wendt park. They decided they wanted to go for a walk through the woods. I grabbed my camera and took some awesome pictures. We discovered a squirrel, 2 caterpillars, 2 airplanes, tree bark, pine cones, purple wild flowers and branches from trees. It was like discovering God all in one place.
