And the finale..bathtime with Ellie and MJ!

Memorial Day in Boyne City part 3

GO TIGERS!! We all tried to stay up on Saturday night to watch all 3 of the Detroit teams playing at once ~ but everyone was too tired and we were all in bed by 9pm. Good thing Tigers and Red Wings still won!!

I love dancing with Uncle Mike! Especially when he gets the whole crowd chanting "Special K...Special K...Special K"!!
Perfect day with daddy..
Ellie gets her turn in the bus..Ellie and MJ spent a lot of time saying "whoopsie daisy" whenever Kaitlyn took a tumble! They also kept saying "Hi Kaitlyn....Hi Kaitlyn" :)
Awww...Colleen and MJ keeping warm!!! Best quote of the weekend from MJ.."I....want....seaside!" He was serious!! He wanted to go out by the water, hahahaha!! Love this kid...

Memorial Day in Boyne City part 2

I love GEORGE!!!

This is just the cutest picture isn't it??!!




I kept wanting to go play in the sand..

Memorial Day in Boyne City

This was by far my best weekend yet! We went up north on Thursday night and spent the whole weekend with Grammama, Grampie, Uncle Mike, Aunt Beanie (Colleen), George, and best of all...my cousins Ellie and MJ!! We had so much fun hanging out at the condo, playing on the beach, and going into town for errands and lunch (and $20 margaritas!!)..here are some shots of my weekend:

Here I am crawling after Ellie. It takes a lot of energy to cover that much lawn!

MJ loved my chicken that sings "The Chicken Dance". In fact, I might not have to play that song for a long time now!!

Daddy and MJ (notice the chicken's still there) hahaha!!
I kept stealing everyone's snacks and sippy's!! This picture is priceless!!
Grandma Gurin sent this great bus up with us! It was quite a hit and an added bonus..shade from the sun!



This might be my favorite picture of all time!

An exciting update from over the weekend..as I was reading one of my favorite flip a flap books that hides different animals under flaps that I love turning over -- I started saying the name of some of the animals!! I swear!! I am now attempting to say "octopus...turtle...and bear". Its tooooo cute!

My walker and alphabet floor puzzle

Grammie bought me this floor puzzle this weekend. I love it! Thanks Grandma Gurin!!

After receiving this walker at Christmas, I finally figured out how to use it!! Woo-hoo!! Here I am on the move and loving it...

More from outside and just hangin around

My new outdoor toys!

My mom went to the Huntington Woods garage sale this weekend which has been raved about - and for good reason! I scored some GREAT outdoor toys for the summer. Here I am looking so cute while checking them out from inside for the first time. Its so funny how I notice anything thats new to the house these days..

Earth Day

I've been meaning to take a picture of the new tree that was planted in front of our house on Earth Day! My plan is to take a picture of it each year to see how it grows. I was hoping to get Kaitlyn in the picture this year too but this day was so pretty and I was the only photographer so I couldn't leave her in front of the tree unsupervised. Anyway, more and more these days Jim and I are "going green"!!!

I found the stairs

These little posts are really easy for me to hold onto! The easier it is to maneuver my way up the stairs!!

First Mother's Day

• Happy Mother's Day!
  

My whole family went out to eat a great brunch at Lily's Seafood..brunch was great cause I got more food than everyone including sesame chicken, pinapple, fruit loops, cheese, and whatever else I could get my hands on! The best part was when I snagged a huge piece of french toast off Daddy's plate before anyone could catch me..yummmm!

 Grammie and Aunt Katharine..
Reading one of many books during brunch
Everyone needs a bottle sometimes!!

Early birthday present!

While celebrating an early Mother's Day with grammama and grampie, I scored!! An early birthday present for me to use while driving up north...a portable dvd player!!!

Thanks grammama and grampie!!
