Mmmm...

Summer Fun

Staying busy this summer!

Zac is a big sucker fan...poor guy London never leaves him alone.  He really doesn't want the lip gloss!
I guess her lips were not enough...need the entire face....
London had a blast with Tracy..they did body chalk outlines!
London's new secret hiding place. So silly

"Uh Oh Pants!"

Derek has Mikey run down the driveway to get his newspaper. (Even in the rain... if you notice our driveway is wet.) His diaper was a little heavy and his pants started slipping off him. Derek kept saying "uh oh pants" so he'd pull them up, but he was too excited to do his morning chore to think about it.

Sorry for the blury pictures. Mikey was running "so fast." That's what he says :)

Tigers Game!

We took the kids to their first Tigers Game, and their first trip to downtown Detroit. Mikey was amazed at all the busses we saw on the way to the game. We got tickets from Derek's company, so the game and parking were free :) Good thing since Mikey said, "all done" 1/2 way through the first inning. We made him sit and watch the Tigers bat. We walked around the ballpark for a while, then headed home. Maybe next time we'll make it through more of the game.

Katie's First Baseball Game.

Mikey's First Baseball Game.

Mikey loved the BIG escalator that went to the second level seats.

Then he loved running down the ramp from the second level to the ground level.

Time to go home :( We'll be back again soon!

Fourth of July!

We had a very relaxing July 4th. Jessie spent a week with us and we didn't want her to leave. It was so much fun having her back in town. Derek got a much needed 3 day weekend with the holiday and spent a lot of time resting and playing with the kids.

Here we are! A picture of the 4 of us. Maybe next time we'll all face the camera.


Here's Katie showing off her 4th of July dress courtesy of her Ninang (God Mother) Jessie.

We went to a 4th of July parade at the town just north of us. Mikey loved the fire trucks. We thought about Jason and his trucks. Maybe we'll make it out some time to check those out!

We went to a little carnival in the afternoon.

Good times . . .

Another "mother-of-the-year" award picture. Check out the crazy 3 three old roasting a marshmallow on the bonfire - unsupervised. Guess who ALMOST got burned in this picture?! (hint - it wasn't Charlise!) We had a backyard "smores" party with some of our friends from church.
Showing off her cute new dress. We have to look at pictures to remember how cute she is. She's turned into our psycho 3-year-old. She now bites, screams, hits, kicks, etc. Good times.
Jarom's building a dinosaur with the kids. Good times. . .
