Summer Vacation

So.. I took off 2 Friday afternoons to hang out with one of my best friends at her pool.. and yes.. I did invite myself!  We found a new drink!  Rut-ro

Katrina and I chillin' in the water

The girls and I met my cousin Stacey Birch down at the Farmers Market.. it was gorgeous!  Her comment.. I can get all of this in my mom's backyard (Joyce)

So this random dude was watching a performance.. and my girls were watching him instead of the gal singing... it was pretty funny

Fun at the park with their besties.. Natalie and Olivia

It's so nice when they like each other.. 

Lauren is loving having TWO dogs!!

Better late than never!!

Lauren got her ears pierced the first weekend the soccer was over in hopes they would be healed up and okay to remove for fall soccer! 

Kaiser spent about 10 days with us while the Harrison's went to Disney World.. these two became good buddies!!

Natalie and Lauren.. good buddies

Some neighborhood fun!

Elise and Miss Olivia

Kick the can... I think they are all arguing.. because that it was they always do... so annoying!

4th of July ~ Battle Creek, Michigan

So I had this post ready back in July but then life just got really crazy busy.. so here it is a little late.   I will eventually get back to current one of these days!

On our way!!!  First family selfie with the new smart phones! (yes, we finally have smartphones!!)

Double rainbow

Elise trying to catch some Zzzzz's

These guys have soooo much fun together!!

We spent the afternoon at the lake... rope swing and all... even Eric did it!

Lauren and Riley (both age 8)

The Thunderbirds were in town and we could see part of the air show from the dock.. reaaaaallllly loud but pretty cool.

These two are hilarious together... same age, same silly faces and both hilarious.  They said they were forming a BC Club (bad cousin club) because they kept getting in trouble together!

Good times with Grandpa Hubbard

We went over to Fort Custer (Air Force Base) with some friends of Brad's and they got us on the base to watch the fireworks... fun but late night. Oh and the middle right photo.. I still can't stop laughing at. It was super dark out and my flash stays on for a bit on my phone and pretty much blinded everyone and Aidan and Riley didn't care for it!  Aidan's face is a classic!

Aaaaannnd back on the road again.. heading home... it was a great holiday weekend!
