At the Cabin

June 12-17 we were able to spend some time at a cabin up north with Ryan's parents, Grandma Rose, and Lysa, Jeremy and baby Alayna. It was a lot of fun and the kids especially had a great time! It's so neat for them to be able to spend time with extended family which includes Great-Grandma Rose. It was a much needed respite from the busyness of our everyday lives.
Micah canoeing with Ryan. He was so cute, pretty much the whole time he was out there he was singing "Row, row, row your boat..." (Micah was singing, not Ryan!)
My hero.

The kids had a lot of fun fishing with Daddy and Grandpa Steve. They caught a good number of fish during the week, enough to have a fish fry one night, although, Grace insisted that they threw any of "the cute ones" back into the water!

The proud fisherman!

Anna had a great time at the beach. She even taste tested the sand, yum! ;)

Better to taste a marshmellow instead of sand. Here she is with her first one.

Ryan and Grandma Rose

Ryan was able to try out wake-boarding with Lysa and Jeremy. He did awesome! He got up on his second try and was able to stay up for a while too! Way to go!

What a great week!

Our New Clean Team!

Just a quick disclaimer: No child labor laws were broken for the taking of these pictures! ;)

Just Kidding! The kids actually enjoy cleaning up (at this point anyways) and are always eager to help - I love it!

Anna is not about to be left out of all the "big kid" fun!

Bubbles!

The kids having fun with bubbles.

Hey! This is fun!

Hard to get

Smile Anna! Mommy wants to take your picture!

I don't think so... No...
Oh, okay!

The Beauty Parlor

My mom and the kids were visiting on Memorial Day weekend and, while they were here we had a little beauty parlor going on in our family room. Micah is so intrigued with brushing people's hair!

The Twins

Grace wanted her hair done just like Auntie Kate's, so that they could be "twins".

Funny Face!

One of Anna's more shocking ;) moments captured on camara in our very own back yard.

I can't believe it!

Our First Family Bike Ride

A few weeks ago we went for our first bike ride as a family, or at least the first one that we've been on since before Micah & Anna. Here's a shot of Micah & Anna in the bike trailer (Dad and Grace were already on their way down the street.) They both really enjoy our new outings on wheels :) and, I am glad to finally be back on my bike after a three year absence!
