It's too bad the boys weren't smiling on these re-takes.... The colours are pretty though.Noel's new joke..
"Knock-Knock...(Who's there?) Mom!" Of course we all laugh, because he is so cute!!

Fun Facts

Waiting for the Garbage Truck. A Thursday high lite!Dylan is only 3.5 months and decided he was strong enough to sit and stand on his own. Briefly.
It's too bad summer is over.. We now have the perfect stroller setup! Oh where is Dylan?

Noel and Logan watching their big brothers learn to skate.Nicolaas the red marshmallow. (Black helmet) He is still learning to get up on his own.

Dylan's Growing Up

Smiling since a few weeks old.


3.5 months, and showing off his muscles! Sitting with a bit of help.

Just like his big brother Nicolaas.. he found his thumb. We mostly try to encourage the soother. He likes to project it across the bed though.
Four Months old today!! We've been having some tummy issues, but on the whole Dylan is so happy and easy going. His brothers love to charm him and get him to giggle. He sleeps well through he night too, so that is a blessing.

Family Pictures

Lethbridge Fun

We visited the Corn Maze which also had a petting zoo. The cow train was a big hit!

Many Faces of Nicolaas

Phew! Wonderful dog breath to accompany the ride home from Lethbridge.

Nicolaas is a very helpful boy. the latest is cutting down the weeds with a scissors. The prairie was so dead in Lethbridge that you could just break it off. But it made a cute picture anyhow.
Can't get this grinder working...
Well it's sorta working now...
Yep and I am cute! Nicolaas is growing up so fast, and has become quite the thinker. Question of the day. After reading the story of Abraham and Isaac. "Why can God only kill?" Also. What do you want for your birthday Nicolaas? "Let's talk about Heaven again Mom. Can you go there for me and get me an animal that doesn't bite?"

Visting Uncle Joel's Resting Place

"...For the Lord Himself will descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words."
1Thessalonians 4:16-17.

Lethbridge Trip

Oma Arnoldussen and Dylan. Thank you for taking such good care of us all when we were in Lethbridge. We enjoyed our time there! We love you and miss you.
Dylan giving Opa Arnoldussen a ride in his car. uhhh Opa's car!

Josh Arnoldussen with the boys. At least Josh understands Noel. he was so cute listening intently to all Noel had to say. There was an aaah-HA moment at Jonas and Evelyn's. Noel calls all cars and vehicles Geeen. Even if it isn't green. (He knows the colour green) Noel came out of the room holding up a Lightning McQueen car and said "GEEEEN!!!" AAAAH-HAAA!! The mystery is solved. All vehicles are Lightning McQueen and Mighty Machines.
Second cousins all 2 weeks apart. Kornell VandenHoek, Dylan and Beckah Boot
