Sorry I Couldn't Resist

4th of July

This year for the fourth of July we were lucky enough to be invited by our good friends, Stephanie and Ben to go boating on Lake Cadillac with them. Ben works at Four Winns and gets to borrow a boat now and then. We had such a wonderful time.
Isaac went tubing for the first time and he absolutely loved it.

Seth and Cody ( Ben and Stephanie's little boy ) enjoying the view.

Stephanie and Cody. Stephanie is pregnant and will be having another little cutie, Friday, July 11th! We are all excited to find out if it is a boy or a girl.

Annie wasn't very happy about the loud motor and the life vest at first, but then she really started enjoying herself. And of course the pacifier helped a little too!

After boating, we crossed the canal into Lake Mitchell for dinner and swimming.

It was Annabelle's first time at the beach ( actually she was there when she was 3 months old and very colicy, and she screamed the entire time, but that doesn't count does it? ) and she loved the water and the mud. Watch the video at the bottom, SO cute!

Make-shift fun

It was a beautiful day today, so i took the boys out to see if we could make a water slide.

Laundry Day

    Usually when I get the fresh smelling, warm, laundry out of the dryer, I call the kids to get on my bed and then I dump it all over them. They absolutely LOVE it! Well this time Isaac didn't want to wait, so he jumped in the laundry basket and I emptied all of the warm clothes onto him. Here are some pictures of him snuggled down in the clean clothes.

First day of summer

What a wonderful Sunday it was! I was able to get a lot done outside, we had my dad and brother Joel over for dinner, we ate toasted marshmallows by the fire afterwards, they left, then this!

Underneath the hail was a small pond

This was the beginning of it

Annabelle and "Grampa Kenny"

I saw this picture on Judy's blog, and it was SOOOO adorable I just had to steal it and put it on our blog! Sorry Judy. Do I have to buy the legal rights to take it? :)

Fathers Day

We had a wonderful Fathers Day this year. Here are some of the pictures we took. Seth and Annabelle weren't feeling that great, but grandma and grandpa said they didn't mind if they caught whatever the kids had, so we continued with our plans. We went to Ken and Judy's for lunch and fun in the sun, and mud. You'll see.

Thank you Ken and Judy for raising such a wonderful man to be the dad of my 3 ( soon to be 4 ) precious children.

             The highlight of Jason's day. He took the quad through

             the huge mud puddles at the back of the property...

                               and got Joel soaked!

                         Then he came in and tried to kiss me!
