Summertime

The summer is flying by and I haven’t posted in what seems like forever. Here is a little of what we’ve been up to this summer

Sylvia loved helping ‘mom’ in the garden. Its actually my mom’s garden – but since I call her mom, Sylvia does too. I am not sure she was much help with the strawberries. Her idea of helping is really just eating them. Hopefully Grandma enjoyed the company anyway

Nicholas got better at shootin hoops.

Sylvia wasn’t too fond of sparklers, but loves ice cream and her cousins.

Nicholas too!

Two-Wheelers & Ice Cream

On Tuesday, Scott already replaced the tire on Nicholas’ three month old bike. Nicholas flies down the driveway and slams on his brakes to make skid marks and the other day it just popped. Before Scott put the training wheels back on, we thought we would take him to the shop and try teaching him to ride his bike without them. I never in a million years thought he would get it that night let alone the very first time. Here is a video of his second attempt and as you can tell I was quite excited for him

And here are a few pictures of the kids at the ice cream store tonight

Fathers Day

This year we spent the day out at Holland State Park to visit Scott’s Dad and sisters who are camping there. I was so bummed because I forgot my camera. But I did manage to make up for the lack of pictures during the day when we went to the pool later that night.

Sylvia has no fear of the water so Scott and I have to constantly watch her.

That night was the first time Sylvia had her very own ice cream cone. I’m pretty sure she enjoyed every second of it!

And this is what she handed me when she was finished

Cottage

The beginning of June our family spent 2 weeks at the cottage. It wasn’t very warm during our time there, but we found plenty to keep us busy.

Sylvia had her very first ride on the Sea Doo (in her jammies) and loved it!

Nicholas learned to drive it too

The girlies liked getting into a bit of trouble together

Grammie took all the kids out and made a “bike train” for Nicholas

Even the babes got to go along

Nicholas caught his very first fish right off the dock with Alex’s fishing pole. He was so excited about it that we had to go and buy him his own pole so he could do it more the next day.

And the best mug ever – I have a few sisters who would agree
