Date Night on Lake Hillsdale
Brandon helping me put on my boots. Below is Brandon showing off his great tricks!
This is my success in the water!Brandon in the water with the sun setting.
This is my friend Tammy. She is awesome in the water. The night we went out she got a hold of my camera and went camera crazy. She took lots of pictures...most of which we will throw out because they were of me. But, I was able to steal the camera and get a great picture of her!! Love ya Tammy! (this is the power of having a blog!)

The Berry Patch
Abby has found some blueberries ready to pick.
Brent is showing me the infested bush of caterpillars. Yuck!
Claire and Jordan were the best little workers. Claire was up there for having picked the most!
Jack would pick a berry and then throw! (not in a bucket!)
Katie loved to pick the berries, but it not too fond of the taste!
Nile and Abby picking berries.

Jack's Haircut
Let's go mom....wait I am not so sure about this!!
Work in process.
Look what I have!!! Yes, this is my hair.
The finish product. Jack loves cars and trains. Sometimes he will sit in his room and play with them for an hour or so. A lot of the time he likes to line them all up. Then he will take them to a new location and line them all up again. This process will repeat several times throughout the house. He loves his Chevron cars the most. We don't go anywhere without them, especially when we are headed for church or to a restaurant.Bike Ride

Jedi in Training
So, I love my children's imaginations! I find them doing the funniest things. I found Jordan one night in my room inside my laundry baskets. I heard, "beep, beep, beep." I asked him what he was doing and he simply said I am in my Star Wars ship. He stayed inside it singing the Star Wars theme song for about 30 mins. I think we might have a Jedi on hand!

The parade made Abby hot and worn out!
Jack loved baby Alexis. He thought her toes were funny! Isn't she sweet?

Here is Neiko, the monkey!!
Is Jordan allergic to monkeys????
Does Neiko want a piggyback ride?
Check this out!! What a cute picture!! Can you tell which monkey is Neiko?
The kids are in the green airplane waiting for take-off!
Jack is that a pink car you are in?? Yes-it was the only one left. Jack loved the ride and cried to get off.
Brandon bought a few firecrackers for the kids to light and watch. They all loved shooting them off with their daddy. Jack was so funny to watch. He would take the already let ones and put them out and pretend to light them. Then he would run from them and say, "Whoa, Whoa!" It was so funny to watch him. He did really good with the sparklers. Overall, it was a great day!
The smoke over took this picture of Katelyn.
Abby lighting the skies.
Jack, our little firecracker. I think he had the most fun!
