Yoo-Hoo … Big Summer Blowout!

Sooo….I am extremely behind on my blog!  But on a good note, I am keeping 
up with everything else!  Something has to fall through the cracks, right?  Well, 
I am doing my best to catch up.

For Mother's Day I took Bryn and my mom to get pedicures.  Bryn had a 
great time and even got a flower design on her toes and fingers!


The day before we left for Michigan, we headed to the Science Center
 to see the Curious George exhibit.  Bryn had been looking forward to it,
 so it was last minute.

 projection of their light board creation!
The elevator was a huge hit with both kids!
And I had a hard time getting Bresnan away from the putt-putt course.

On our stop in North Carolina with Grandpa and Nana, 
we always enjoy a boat ride around the lake on our way to lunch.

Welcome to Port Austin!
 When we arrived we quickly discovered the robin's nest above our door with four eggs in it.  It wasn't long until we noticed they had hatched!

 feeding time
 time to leave the nest 
 and learn to fly!

We were lucky to have the Phelps family come to stay with us for a week.
Kelli and Ella hijacked my phone, and I am happy to have these memories!


Ella loved on my kids, and they loved her!

Happy Fourth of July!

 Waiting for candy at the parade!

 Norah and Bryn
 Little Man
 Chinese Flanderns were exciting for Bryn this year
 Make a wish!

Bresnan discovered a new toy - beer bottles!  Not something we encouraged, 
but something he found interesting all summer long...



empty or full, he found them fun to manipulate!

We decided on getting a play set and after a few days, it was finished!

 sibling love?!
 those eyes…that face!

One morning I broke out the paint..
 knowing full well the direction these children were headed!!!
 That's my girl!!

 The finished products :)

Many days we made a stop at the ball field park to play.  Bryn got 
real good at tackling all the obstacles on her own!

Sibling fun!
Working at the car (bike) wash
 IPad snuggles
 ball field dugouts

intense game of Hungry, Hungry Hippos!

From the very first day of Port Austin summer, Bryn was asking to play putt-putt.  I finally took her and had a great Mumma-Daughter date.  And, she was actually pretty good!

We planted a garden this year!

The boy loves himself some shoes!

Bryn and I went to the Huron County Fair with Stephanie and Norah.  
They LOVED the rides.  It was a great evening, just the girls!





We took a weekend trip to Ann Arbor to see Aunt Cheryl's new residence.  
We visited a great children's museum and the kids had a blast!

 water everywhere!

When Grandpa and Nana came to visit, we headed to Mackinaw Island for a night

There is always one night that turns out to be the best night for 
pictures on the beach, and this night was the night!









Our take on family pictures






It took until the end of the summer for Bryn and Macy to venture out swimming
 in the lake, but when it happened there was no turning back!
Our last day on the beach
and now we are Florida bound!  
It was a WONDERFUL summer!!
