more summer fun

       This is usually the result after a summer walk

This girl is still silly

Playing dress-up with Dayana

At John Ball Zoo

Dayana was such a big helper!

At Great Aunt Sandy's cottage on Lake Michigan.  

Hollyhock Parade 2015!

Evelyn loved all the attention she received from cousin Dayana

The weather gets hot and it's time to turn on the sprinkler

These two love each other, can you tell?

Evelyn is getting so big and bright-eyed

Cousin Daniel and Evelyn also took a liking to each other.  Daniel could get her to laugh like no other!

5 months old and lots of smiles!

They both found bugs in the backyard.  Andrew has a cicada and Sylvia has a caterpillar.

Traverse City vacation with friends

The end of June we went to Traverse City with friends and stayed in cottage all together. We had such a great time! I think we are all hoping we can do this again next year.

A picture of the whole group

Friends

Kayaking on the Crystal River

Ryan took on a giant dune...the kids and I just watched and cheered him on :)

Enjoying hexabits first thing in the morning

Nothing like taking an 8:00 am dip in the lake

Sweet treats for these sweet kids

Evelyn enjoying the hammock with her Dad

Happy Father's Day!

S'mores!

My boys

Yes, they all finished!

family fun

I love that I can bring Evelyn's toys outside now that the weather is warm.  She loves the outside and her exer-saucer.  Win-win!

Sylvia loves to dress up.  She had to wear her life jacket now!

I'm so glad that she can now sit up with the help of the Bumbo.  I think she enjoys life a bit more too.  You will also find her with her hands in her mouth 99% of her waking hours :)

I just love these two

Silly sisters

Building a fort on a rainy day. Here they are peeking through their 'window.'

major cuteness

Look how much Evelyn has grown! I look at this picture of her on Andrew's lap and she looks huge! We had her four month check up and she now weighs 15 lbs and is 24.5 inches long. What a chunk!

Typical Sylvia.  She wants to climb our huge oak tree so she problem solves by bringing her stool from inside to the tree in hopes that she can accomplish her goal.

And she is tenacious!  She continues to try to get milk from her chest (put the whole thing together herself and even plugged it in!)

What a sweetie!

Look at how they both adore each other :)
