Kristina chooses Eternal Life

Kristina was baptized last week, declaring to those she loves her decision to follow Christ. She wanted Pastor Scott to baptize her before he left the ministry to pursue his Master's Degree. A very exciting moment....

Going for a ride...Kaitlyn just admires Clayton...too bad Clayton isn't very nice to her.

Clayton's a bit Confused

Tackled by dad!
Oh no, is it the Incredible Hulk or is it Indiana Jones? You guessed it...its Incredible Clayton Jones...he's just a bit confused!

Caught in action...you typically find Connor lining cars or trains up...anything for that matter

Our friend, the frog, comes for a visit...we found him on our door.
how rude...I think we've been mooned!

Attack of the Van Dyke Kiddos

Matthew gets attacked when he arrives home...doesn't even get into the house.

Connor grabs the cell phone and takes off...

Lake Michigan Family Vacation 2008

Ok, so its taken me a while to finish getting the pictures on the blog but I finally got it done. We spent two weeks in Michigan visiting Oma & Opa, met up with the Kloostermans (Matthew's sister), visited with other family, and played a lot on the beach. We almost forgot to get this picture before we left, definitely a last-minute thing...thank goodness for timers on cameras for no one was home. Enjoy the photos.

We celebrated Clayton's birthday with the family during our trip. Oma baked Clayton a "Fish" cake to go with the "Lake" theme...too cute!

True love...Erin loves to climb on Kristina

Another amazing sunset on a hazy evening

Cousins...Bella with Kaitlyn and her brother Trace

Just hangin' out watching tv

Tired Teens

Hey, where's everyone headin'? Let me guess, playtime on the boat!
Turtles in motion...
Rachel joins the fun

Clayton's a little nervous to jump into the lake but he toughs it out and rides on Dad' back...they swim around the boat.

Such handsome boys
