Almost done.

The patio is almost completed! One more day and it should be finished. I'm really excited to have a patio for some reason. Maybe because we've been here for 31/2 years now without one! I am really pleased with the way it turned out! Lone Star Landscaping is a wonderful company :)

Happy Anniversary!

8 years ago today Chris and I got married! It was definitely one of the happiest days of my life! We have been together now for 14 years and he is such a wonderful husband and father! I am a lucky woman to have him in my life! We are happier and more in love than we were on that day, which I never thought could be possible.

Back from Ludington!

What a great week at Ludington this year. Every day was sunny and warm! Good thing we brought our sunblock! The Water was very warm this year! Some of our activities included, floating down the Sable River to Lake Michigan. Then the adults had fun on Lake Michigan with the kids boogie boards! We boated to the sand dunes every day and some of us even went water skiing, tubing, swimming, Salmon Fishing, regular fishing, watching the beautiful Lake Michigan sunset, walking on the Ludington Pier. Many pictures are posted on facebook. Here is one of the kids walking on the pier.

Cameron's big boy bike.

Cameron was so excited to get a big boy bike from his cousin Sam. Little mama Karli is right by his side to make sure he doesn't fall. Such a good sister..... she helped get him up the driveway :)Summer is going by too fast. Karli and Cameron surprise me more and more everyday in the pool. Karli is doing great with her swimming and can swim the length of grandma's pool. I can't believe Karli will be starting Kindergarten soon and Cameron will be starting preschool. Where have my babies gone?

more babies ready to leave the nest soon!

The nest of barn swallows on our porch have 4 baby birds. They look like they are outgrowing the nest and soon should be flying away. It's a good thing because I have a MEss to clean up on the porch :)

Up North and more.

For the 4th we went up to Lewiston for the weekend. We went to the Lewiston beach and ran into some friends from home. We rode the 4 wheelers, went blueberry picking, roasted s'mores and hot dogs in the fire pit just to name a few activities. The weather was great. The traffic was not so great. A good time was had by all. Below are a few pics.

Some other fun things this busy summer: Cameron now does cannonballs in to the pool without holding his nose, or wiping his eyes when he comes up. Karli had her 1st sleepover with her sisters this weekend.
