July 4th.....

I went to Michigan to see the fam this weekend. We then traveled up north to Harbor Springs, MI. It is so beautiful up there. We had a wonderful time. The day couldn't have been any more gorgeous if we had special ordered it. The people that Erin nannies for is up there for a month so this pic is of Jade sitting on their front porch oohing about something.

How is this for a Marilyn Monroe like shot. The first time we put Emma in the water, she was VERY unhappy, because she had just woken up from a nap, but we tried a little later and this was her general reaction.

Too funny!

Emma and her momma!

There was a parade we watched and Jade decided she needed to give me a hug. I thought this pic was so funny.

My Emma Em and I

The girls all tuckered out and big old Grandpa being the babysitter while we shopped.

The first time we took Emma to the water...if you could see her face you would see that she was crying.

Emma and Erin

Jeremy, Myself and Liss

Jeremy loves Jada

Emma and Erin having some fun watching the parade.

A rare, good pic of Emma. She hates her picture taken.

Emma REALLY loves Jade

My wonderful parents! :-)

The busy weekend....

There is this great ice cream stand in Mason that makes the cutest cones for kids. Kaelah is addicted. Seth was too cool for the cones, the first few times that we visited it, but he finally broke down last night and got one and he was thrilled with how his Santa turned out. Kaelah of course was thrilled with her elephant. :-)

I don't usually have Seth with me anymore, but their mom was trying to move yesterday so I had Seth and Kaelah. They go from fighting like cats and dogs to having great fun together. This pic is the result of one too many fights and I made them hug till they laughed.

Just a random pic of Kaelah and my favorite doggy dog, Riley. Love him.

Jada and Lizzie Bit had great fun together. Here they are kissing on the stairs. So cute!

Awwwww!!!!

Seth is at the stage where pictures just aren't cool, hence the face. As you can tell, Jada was tired.

Jade and Maria playing together. You gotta love the look on Maria's face! lol

Elizabeth and KK are great friends. They love each other so much.

And my picture of the year so far! I love this. Maria stole her Daddy's cone and had a blast with her first Graeters Ice Cream experience. This is priceless! :-)

Jade's photo fiasco....

My mom and Jade came to visit Aunt Holly and Aunt Erin while Liss went to Georgia for family day to see Nick. So of course I had to get her picture taken. I never get the chance so I took this opportunity. They got here Thursday night, we immediately went to Erin's and had a good dinner and sat around and chatted. Friday, Lissa left, and Mom, Jade, Rhoda, Elizabeth, Kaelah and I all went to the outlets by Columbus to shop all day, came home, went out to eat with Ryan and his family and then the next morning, went to the zoo, and then shopped and then I had to work....suffice it to say we stayed REALLY busy. Friday, Jade fell in the store and banged her head on a clothes rack and then Friday night, while her and Elizabeth were playing, Lizzie bit accidently fell on top of Jade shoving her head into the cement. So we have two beautiful bruises on the forehead. Wahhhhhh!!!!! :-)

This picture is pretty self explanatory. If any of you know Jade very well, you know that this is a great picture of her personality when she is upset. :-)

But, finally we got a shy smile. Yay!

This was the last picture when we gave up! She wasn't having anymore!!!

Catching up.....

Timmy came to visit for the weekend. We had a good time. Here we are at the overlook (which you can't tell since it is so dark). Now that he lives so much closer we should be able to see him a lot more. Yeah!

We had a good time at King's Island last week, poor Elizabeth is too short to ride on much, but she really liked this one.

Ashley

Brooke is at the, tongue sticking out all the time, stage!

Thankfully Ashley and Kaelah play very well together. Even though KK is a year and a half older, Ashley is taller (which you cannot tell by this picture). KK is going to be a pipsqueak like her momma!

Elizabeth's adorable swimsuit. She is quite the water baby. Isn't she adorable?!!!

The three munchkins at Sharon Woods

Kaelah, Timmy and I went to the dog show last week. Quinn decided he needed a hat to keep cool. :-)

Brooke the bathing beauty.

Kaelah went babysitting with me at the Dewitts after a long afternoon of swimming. Her hair was still wet and she didn't like the feeling on her back, so she fell asleep sitting forward like this....too funny!
