Time for a wedding

Matt had the honor of officiating a wedding for one of our former youth group kids. Dan and Mattie got married in Grand Rapids on July 4. So, it was close to our home, it was almost our anniversary, we got to see many friends from MN, and we got to dress up and go out for the night!

sunsets and family visits

One of my most favorite things is a sunset on the beach. We had family here to enjoy this one with us. Matt's brother Jeff and family were here and we all enjoyed the scenery together.

Strawberry Picking

Brandon, Jessica, Maria and I had lots of fun eating, I mean picking strawberries.  We picked enough for a pie, jam, and a jello salad! DELICIOUS!

Brandon graduates

Brandon with his favorite 6th grade teacher. Actually, she's pretty cool and she may go down in history as Brandon's favorite teacher ever. Congrats on a great job!

jump ropes and tutus

Jessica had a jump rope unit in Physical Education Class.  She and two friends had a whole routine ready to go. Anika helped her make tutus to help the show!

A beautiful new bathroom

I can't believe I forgot to post this one!
Matt did an incredible job!
This is Anika's bathroom - its in the basement and its beautiful!
Nice job!!!!

Malice in the Palace

The spring concert for Muskegon Christian School was called "Malice in the Palace."  Brandon was given the role of Haman. We spend many hours going over the lines, to the point that Brandon had most all of everyone's lines memorized, which proved to be helpful. Many of the students had not done their homework so much. Very often throughout the play, Brandon could be seen and heard whispering lines into other's ears, and saying lines from back stage into his microphone. It was all very entertaining. He had some great lines and did an incredible job.

Jessica and Maria's classes were part of the chorus/support.

Brandon also had a spring band concert. He does a great job at percussion!
