My sister-in-law and her kids are visiting for the weekend.  Our kids had so much fun!  Here Avery just passed out, right in my arms with everyone around because she was so worn out.  Although this is a fun shot, why didn't I take one of all the cousins together???

The reason my cousin and family were visiting last week was because I had a Norwex party!  It was super fun and I got a LOT of free stuff!  I've had a lot of fun cleaning since this package arrived!

All 3 of our kids ran in the kids "Fun Run" that took place after the 5K for Coopersville's Summerfest.  Jake won!  Not that he had much competition since there were only 7 kids there.

We had a fun time at the car parade, through Coopersville!

Did you see my previous post?  Now we will have this hunk of junk taking up space in our garage.  My cousin was here and convinced Jeremy it was a great deal to buy this jeep.  It may have been a good deal, but it needs a TON of work.  It doesn't run, the bottom is rusted through, and did I mention it's been sitting outside for 2 years?  What will we ever do with this?!  Jeremy claims we will have fun driving to Grand Haven in this little piece.  We shall see...and so will my pocketbook, I'm afraid!

Going, going, and GONE!!!!  We've been trying to sell our 2 half-broken Sea-doos and trailer the entire summer!  They are no longer taking up space in our garage!

It's Summerfest in Coopersville this week, so Jeremy took the kids in to town for a craft day.  It was Knights and Princesses.  I think they had a good time!

These two take the cushions off our porch furniture every, single day!

Jake is away for the night, so the Littles got to stay up late for a sunset at the beach...except there wasn't any sun.  They still had fun playing though!

Thanks BDO for buying us tickets to the Tigers, renting a bus, and giving each of us $40 in fun money to use at the park!  (And thanks Oma and Grandma for helping with the kids so we could have a fun day!)

7-30-14

We bought an electric piano (not electric keyboard, there is a difference!)  Jake is starting lessons soon!

Troublemaker or Cutie?

Last day there, I found this toad in the shower!  Good thing we are leaving today and I can wait to shower when I get home!

7-25-14

These are some amazing, life-long friends!

7-24-14

 Love this one!

7-23-14

We even got a visit from my bestie, Caryn and her family!  Joel and Noah are only a couple of months apart and had a fun time playing!

7-22-14

Mom, this is easy!

7-21-14

Yep, sunbathing on the beach with my feet in the water.  Perfect day!

7-20-14

Fun on the dock!

7-19-14

And we've arrived!  First day of camp and life is good!

7-18-14

Daredevil!

Hard to see here...I spent 2 days on the Notre Dame campus.  It's one of the most beautiful college campuses that I have been on.  When you pull in, the road is lined with trees and at the end is the huge basillica with the golden dome.  Amazing!  I was out for a run and trying to take a selfie, while running across the street with lots of cars on it, with the church in the background.  This is what I came up with.  Why did I stick out my tongue like that?!?

Jake had fun at his birthday party too!

7-13-14

Yes, I had to blow the candles out early since Avery kept trying to grab them!

7-12-14

Momma/Daughter birthdays!

7-11-14

Had fun at a friend's house, who live on a lake!

7-10-14

She's always a mess of clothes and hair!

7-9-14

I finally bought one of the Michigan t-shirts.  And yes, I love it!

When the boys are away, Avery plays cars. (Just to clarify, she is always willing to play cars.  Just funny to catch her playing with them alone.)

7-7-14

Love me some silly smiles!

Who knew that Heaven in a Jar existed?!  This stuff is DE - LISH- OUS!
