Robinettes 2009!

Yes, it goes with out saying, Robinettes is a favorite past time with the extended Lock Family.

Here is a compilation of a few recent trips this Fall. Suffice to say, we all had a great time!

Sinterklaas visited the Nienhuis Boys!

Arie, Willem and Henry must have been good boys this year! St. Nick and his white horse along with his Zwart Piet helpers filled their wooden shoes with goodies instead of Straw.

Last night, the boys places their shoes by the door and waited with anticipation and hoped to awaken to treats and trinkets beside the shoes.

Thank you, St. Nick!

Bowling for Birthdays!

Happy Birthday Henry and Willem!

Henry turned 5 on the 20th of November and Will is going to be 8 (gasp!) on the 6th of December, so we celebrated with the family at Lakeview Lanes in Douglas!

Fun was had, grown-ups and children alike, as we bowled, ate pizza and gobbled up cupcakes with mini bowling balls adorning the frosting!

Even Nuna and Izzy got in the fun at their first experience at the lanes!

Thanks, family, for coming out to share in the fun and celebrate another fun year with out awesome little guys! Our kids had so much fun playing with their cousins Drew, Sam, Nuna, and Izzy!

Henry and Will, we love you! Hope you enjoyed your special day!

Halloween!

Halloween was a blast as usual!
Arie was Zorro, Willem dressed as Indiana Jones, and Henry was a spooky Boney Pirate! Fun was had by all as we went to Bosgraafs for trick-or-treating. The guys walked with the children as we ladies stayed warm sipping Pinot while passing out the goodies!

The following day, we headed to the Sinclair Annual Halloween Bash! Fun was had by all! We even one the Best Dressed Parents award!

First Day of School!

Backpacks are packed, school supplies purchased, lunches are made, and we are off!

Oh man, am I happy to be back to a normal routine! The boys are as well....they were anticipating the first day of school for awhile. We are blessed once again with wonderful teachers at Holland Christian, and Henry is very excited to begin Young 5's!

Pray for another wonderful school year for our three boys!

Lazy Cottage Days

Summer isn't summer unless we have been to the cottage up in Greenville, MI. Whether on the sea-doo with Jeff, tooling around on the pontoon boat with Grandma and Grandpa, or making s'mores by the fire, the boys were always having a grand time!

We even got the tube out once or twice to stay cool on steamy hot days!
