Playing in the dirt at the ballfield!

In deep thought... Wonder what he's thinking about... =)

Great pitching, Andrew! You'll have to teach your little cousin someday.








Loves his slide!





Sweet face...


"Mom, I don't want this hat on!"


I couldn't resist. I grabbed the camera and THEN I stopped him!

Dad's Little Helper

We were laying on the couch and Benjamin sat up thinking he could play one more time... and he couldn't quite make it! Sweet boy fell asleep sitting up!

Our Trip "Up North"

Visiting Uncle Fred and Aunt Dorene's Dairy Farm!





Benjamin's 1'st Four Wheeler


Spending time at the lake



Bailey and Sophie were in heaven. They swam all week long!

The dock we walked up and down, and up and down, and.... up and down...


The Alpena Airshow





Andy was able to catch a ride in a B-17 World War II Bomber Plane the day before the airshow!


Mackinac Island!

Riding the ferry over to the island.


The Grand Hotel








Pushing the stroller is much more fun...and much easier for mom and dad! ;)

I was driving home from the park and glanced in the backseat at a stop light. Who was this handsome little boy staring back at me and where did my baby go? For some reason, I had the urge to capture that very moment on film... so I did. To everyone else, they are just more cute pictures. For me, they capture one of those "I love this kid more than anything in the entire world" moments.

Reason #25648 why I love the house we are renting...

Apple, Pear, Peach and Plum trees!
