The Saginaw Zoo

 We got to go to the Saginaw zoo with Max's buddy Chase, his mom and sister and with Grandma Florida.

 Grandma Geri with Max, Micah and their cousin Addison.

 It was hot and the kids slowed down just long enough to have a juice box.

Max looked like he was going to fall asleep on the carousal.

Camping at Jelly Stone in Grayling

 We didn't get to camp until the end of July this year because we were so busy working on the house. Thank goodness our friends Trevor and Mel invited us to go or we might not have. It was good to see the old pop up set up.  I really do love this camper.

 Our first ever tie-dye Jellystone t-shirts.

 This look is so Micah.  How I produced such a paticular child I will never know.  I do know that I love that he marches to the beat of his own drum even if he is a stinker. 

 The boys loved this bounce pillow!

 Jellystone had so many fun things for the kids to do.  Max had a blast!

 Max and his buddy Jacob.

 Save some for us boys.

 Look the freckles on that sleeping babe!

 Man I love those kids.

See you next year Yogi!

Lol

 So I thought you were playing a game with my phone not producing the next big block buster.

I love it.  I often find pictures of the boys have taken of themselves.  It always makes me smile!

Swimming lessons

 The boys took swimming lessons this summer.

 They both did so well.

It was so fun to watch them learn and do better each class.

We love forts

 The boys love to build forts and sleep in them.  It took up the entire living room but it was so adorable to see them passed out in there building achievement.

its just shameful

Its just simply shameful that I can not seem to find time to update this blog!  Its October 29th and I am just now posting stuff from July!  I swear my son's and husband's birthdays were important to me!  I keep saying I'm going to be better about updating but I don't know if that's true.  I will just say that I'm going to try.

Happy Birthday Jason

 Happy Birthday Daddy! We got daddy a new gun to shoot all the little critters we've got around here.

 We even got to go out to dinner with friends.  Doesn't Mary Lou look excited!

 Russel and Patty....love you guys.

 We even got Trevor and Mel to come out with us.  They don't get to take a day off too often.

Hope you had a great birthday!

A day on the boat

 We always go out on the boat with Grandma Tina.  Micah is ready to go!

 The boys are both fish.  They love the water.

 Say Cheese.

 Grandma is so great with the boys! We love her to pieces.

 Beautiful day on the lake.

Micah Turns 4

 Happy Birthday Micah! How quickly 4 years went by. 

 He loves Legos!  I love that they are all over my house!

 My little men.

 We had a construction themed party.  The cakes not too bad for an amateur how?

 It was really fun doing all of the construction themed stuff for this party. 

 Max and his buddy Chase playing corn hole.

 Micah got spoiled rotten!

 Grandma Betty, Grandpa Dan and Izybel.

 Connor loved Moe!

 More presents!

 The party finished up with some fishing.  Not too shabby grandpa!
