Joel and Andrea of one of my May wedding couples, I was so glad they were able to meet up with me this past weekend at Fallasburg Park.

Soo my bff/sister-in-law, Lindsey has got me hooked on wedding/party planning blogs! I am officially obsessed with all of it! Which just happens to be perfect timing since I am planning the twins' 1st b-day party next month! Yay! Anyway I helped my SIL put together a bridal shower this past weekend and she had so many cute details made up, and the coolest part was they were just made of papers! Yeah...anyone can do them! so anyhow here are just a couple of the cute little details she made :) p.s - you should probably get over and check out her blog LO and Behold. She is just getting it started, so keep checking back! I know I will/I am also enlisting her to help me plan the twins party b/c she does that too!

Today I met up with Joel and Andrea to do some e-pics and just get to know them. We met at Fallasburg Park in Lowell MI. I felt so at ease with these two right away! They are so stinkin' cute together, and were troopers even though it was freezing cold and apparently Fallasburg park was the only place in MI that wasn't sunny today. Anyway, I'll be doing their wedding next month at GVSU and am very excited about it. I am so glad that we got this little chance to get to know eachother before the big day. Now they know they can be weird with me, b/c odds are that I am much more weird than they are! Thanks guys for being your cute selves :)

Tonight, Jeff and I took the kids to the park. It was the most beautiful perfect night, it's nights like these that get me through all the crazy days, it's hard to believe that Jeff and I have almost officially made it one year with multiples (and a three year old).
<3 them! Here is just one for tonight, I'll upload more tomorrow.
Sorry so late, I was soo under the weather yesterday...but here are those images I said I'd post. I love evenings when we can lay in the grass and do nothing but play with bubbles. Notice Ben is not in any pics...he was too busy meeting friends and play on the play structures.

We arrived at the park and thought that the twins would want to stay in the stroller while Ben ran around...that lasted about...two seconds!

Aiden just wanted to play with dad...

and explore with miss Ava

...no play with dad...

...no play with Ava and bubbles.

no..dad - see a trend. He couldn't decide if it was more fun to "fly" or explore! What a cutie.

He and Ava both have the most amazing eyes!

thanks Ava...you could have given me at least ONE smile! ahhh it's ok, there is always next time.



Our twins are ALMOST ONE! I just can't believe it! We couldn't be more happy.


**Thanks to Grandpa & Grandma Schafer for the super cute clothes :)

Soo it's been soo nice around here for the last week or so, and so I made plans with Stephanie to have some pics taken of her kids. We were out there for about 10 minutes before it started raining :( We got some indoors but it was a bummer! We will be rescheduling for a later date, but no fears we did get some nice shots today! You might remember these adorable pics from their family pics last year. Same three kids all almost a year older! A HUGE thanks to Lindsey for helping out today and always :)

*Thanks Linds for this edit :)

I can't believe Ethan is already just over 3 months! Some of you my remember Ethan's baby pics, I just can't get over how fast time goes. It was so nice outside today that I decided to take Ethan out for some camera time :) He is such a happy little cutie pie!
