Welcome August! Where did July go?

So, I have really been bad about taking pictures and blogging this summer.  It doesn't mean that we haven't done great things, just that we have been so busy that I haven't been sitting at my computer to see everyone else's blogs and feel the pressure to update! 

Our biggest news...

 We are 13 weeks pregnant and Bryn will be a big sister in the beginning of February!

We were able to go out on two boat rides this month. 

 Bryn watching as we pull out of the harbor and checking out our house.  If you look at the tree line, we have the tall tree in the middle of the picture in our backyard.

 Our house is the cream and brown one

 Running in the water

 Pure enjoyment!

 snacking and exploring

 What a tomboy!  Bryn is good at keeping both hats and sunglasses on, 

but for some reason she likes to turn this hat around backwards!

 Chasing after the birds.  She cannot understand why they wouldn't want to play with her!

Bryn enjoyed stomping down Steve's sandcastles.  

She is probably pointing and demanding more!

We had Brian's college friend Todd, his wife Debbie, and their son Cole to Port Austin for a few days.  The weather wasn't the best, but we had fun anyway!

 Cole and Bryn played very well in the house together

 We decided to fingerprint one day.  Thank goodness for huge rolls of plastic for the floor!

Bryn was very interested and had fun mixing some of the paint.

 Cole, only 10 months, was not as interested...

 Bryn discovered that her belly was as good of a place to paint as paper

 Their finished product :)

And into the tub they go!!!

 We also went putt-putt golfing one day.  We couldn't pass up this photo shoot opportunity!

 Bryn got distracted by all the hole designs and explored all of them!

We hit the fair one day and the slide was the only ride we went on.  

We played a few games and won the kids each a stuffed animal!

Unfortunately, I cannot get to my pictures of seeing the animals...but Bryn loved seeing the "moo cows", learning that a sheep says "baa", and touching the pig ears.

That was pretty much our July!  Hopefully August will be just as fun, but not as quick!
