Summer

I love summer time. I love summer food, relaxing weekends, and the slower pace. Everything slows down a bit. This summer we are preparing for Braden to enter Kindergarten. I took him shopping for a book bag and all his supplies. It is rare that I get to spend time with just him so it was such a treat! I love that little boy.



Here are a few pictures from our hot summer weekend!

Braden lost his first tooth!

Finally, his first tooth fell out! The tooth fairy came and it looks like she gives silver dollars! Cool!




First teeth in.....
First teeth out....



The other bottom tooth should be falling out soon. :)

June....

What a busy month June was! We celebrated Brian on Father's Day! Braden and Reese made some great stuff for him at pre-school. Brian really is a great father and we wanted to make the day special for him!



We also had some time in the pool as the temperature goes up! I really need to get the kids some swimming lessons. There is always next year....




My brother and his wife Yi welcomed a little girl, Amber Kay, into the world!

Finally, we rounded the month out with a trip back to Michigan for my brother-in-law's wedding. Congratulations Jeremy and Courtney! I don't have a lot of pictures to post since I had my hands full with Braden and Reese, but here are a few.





All ready for the rehearsal.



Reese walking down the isle with her soon-to-be cousin Jaden.







Brian giving a toast to the new couple.




Cousins....





This the best family shot we could get.


After the wedding we escaped to Traverse City for a few days. It was a bit chilly, and it felt so good! We knew the next time we would wear anything other than summer clothes is going to be October so we enjoyed all TC had to offer! We went shopping, out to eat, out for ice cream and fudge. We walked along the beach, played miniature golf and rode in go-carts!






































Braden and Reese were just tall enough to ride as passengers in the BIG go-carts!








Pirates! Watch out!
