We went to South Haven beach a few weeks ago with Rosalie! The weather was great and the boys loved playing in the sand. But, I think Rosalie was having the most fun. She enjoyed splashing the boys and making them laugh!
Connor had a wonderful birthday! We celebrated by singing "Happy Birthday" (with balloons) to him first thing in the morning! We went out to eat for dinner and over to Chuck Cheese for some fun! He absolutely loved it. On Sunday, we had a small birthday party for him. We grilled hamburgers, ate cake, and opened presents. All
he asked for was a garbage truck! Yes, a garbage truck! Do you know how hard it is to find a garbage truck? Well, I finally found one in Florida while I was down there. Kurt and I also got him a fishing pole and Uncle Brian and Aunt Vicky got him a tackle box. On Tuesday, Kurt and Mark Klimp took Connor on his first fishing trip. Wow! He had a blast! Within 10 minutes he caught a fish and Connor said it best when he said, "The fish were HOT!" They caught so many fish and Connor can't wait to go again. He loved it and Kurt had a "Proud Dad" moment! 
Congratulations Jonni and Dan! They welcomed their first baby into the world on Tuesday morning, July 3. Her name is Elliana "Ellie" Ruth Hoeksema and she weighed 7 pounds, 4 ounces and is absolutely beautiful. Mommy and Baby are doing great!
