Off Road

One thing I look forward to every summer is going 4 wheeling. This week Eric is off from work so we were able to take a day trip to Baldwin to do a little riding.
It was the perfect day to go riding, hot and sunny with plenty of mud to cool you down. I did have a chance to try out Erics new dirt bike, I will stick to 4 wheels... 2 wheels in sand, not my thing.

Gone Fishin'

While I was camping last week with my mom, sisters and the kids, Eric went camping with my dad, uncles, and cousins at a lake called Dubenett. From the pictures I was able to wrangle away, I see there was a little fishing, eating and game playing. When I say a "little fishing" I really mean that... I'm not sure if they even brought poles.

One Fish- I guess a few brought poles

Two Fish

This is the island that they commute to. Every year they go fishing, I think they spend more time in their chairs here than on the boats fishing.

Rain Rain Go Away

Last week myself, sister Jackie and our girls went camping for the week in Holland. The mornings would start out cold and rainy so we would run to the outlet mall, Old Navy, Walmart, anything that would pass the time, oh how well that worked out! By the time nap time rolled around the sun came out and it warmed up enough to take off the sweatshirts. I didn't perfect my tan this week but it was nice to hang with the fam (My mom and younger sister came out for the last part of the week). Audra lovin the "Underdogs" Abby lovin the Ice cream

I think I should have chucked that mess of paper I was holding to help that pathetic fire, or lack there of

On the move

Now that Abby is on the move, I am not able to turn my head very long or she will be gone. The other day I had to get something from downstairs and when I came back this is where she ended up.

She was very determined to get a ball that had rolled under her exersaucer

Once the ball was retrieved, she wanted out in a bad way..

I guess it is time to put up the baby gate

Fun in the Sun

Today did not start out to be a great pool day, it was rainy and about 60 degrees. But as the morning went on, the clouds cleared and the sun broke through. It turned out to be just the perfect day. It was not overly hot just great to be in the sun. My sister and another friend came over to enjoy the pool... it still only about 75 degrees.

Audra and Connor had a great time seeing who could dump the most water over their heads, I think it was a tie.
Connor was brave enough for the cold water


And what's a party without ice cream?

Open for Business

I am happy to report that the Brogger Pool is now open!!! I am so excited because this is a sure sign that it is now summer, or close enough to it. Last night we had the gang over to take the cover off and get the pump pumping.The temp has a long way to go before I make the big slash.

Dirty floor- this has nothing to do with the pool but it was just there... on the floor I had just swept last night (how did that get there is ask??)

Tub Time

Abby needed to graduate from the little tub to the bath seat for about a month now, so I finally borrowed a bath ring for her to tryout. This is so much easier than trying to cram a large baby into a small bathtub with her trying to either rollover or sit up the whole time.

Splish Splash Abby's takin' a bath!
