Attended a benefit in Muskegon for Dan's Cousin Steve who is battling a brain tumor. HUGE turnout! We were so happy to see all the support he received.
Celebrated our anniversary in Holland with a very nice dinner and just hung out for the night.
Super hot day! We went for a boat ride which the kiddos didn't seem to enjoy too much. After naps, the pool was the perfect way to cool off.
Went camping as a family for the first time. Stayed near Big Rapids at River Ridge RV Park. This is totally my kind of camping! Air conditioning, cable tv, no dirt, swimming pool, and pizza delivery.
Finally able to get Syd's hair in Piggies!
Went to John Ball Zoo with Cortney and Aiden.
Spent the morning cleaning out Sydney's closet. Went through all her outgrown clothes and moved baby stuff to the basement. Hung up all her 18mo+ clothes. Thank goodness for cousins and hand-me-downs :)
Sunday, August 15- no picture? Ran around Reed's Lake with the family. Kids did terrible! Ended up carrying each of them the last 2 miles. UGH! Dan's new shoes gave him blisters, and my knee is killing me.
Dan and I splurged on new running shoes. Only 30 more days till the big run.
Hung with Aiden for a bit. Mom came to stay the night and watch the kiddos so Dan and I could go to a client's house for dinner/party.
Bryce and I hung out while Sydney napped and he kept telling me "Sun, eyes!" So I got him a pair of sunglasses to use.
Had the Louiselle family over for dinner. I wish I would have gotten a picture of the meal I made. I NEVER cook, so I was quite impressed with myself. {Stuffed chicken with cream cheese, feta cheese, pesto, roasted red peppers and breaded with parm cheese and bread crumbs. Pasta with Pesto and watermelon.}
Bryce is taking tons of pictures lately. He caught me making his gourmet lunch.
Planned a little get-together for the old Applebee's crew. Sadly, many people weren't able to make it at the last minute. It was still fun to catch up.
Arrived in New York after our very long car ride. What a beautiful sight. Click here for more vacation pictures.
Drove to St. Clair shores to break up the trip a bit. Spent the night with the kids, then left Monday for New York with Sarah.
Todd and Jenny's wedding in Muskegon. So happy for them.
Not quite sure what was going on here? Didn't take any pictures today, just this one that Dan caught before leaving for work.
Met Cassie at Egypt Valley Pool where she has a membership. We love the kids pool. It's only 1 ft. deep and the entire area is fenced in. Bryce took this one.
Went to Blue Water Grill for dinner with a few neighbors. Janine and I discovered "Wine Down Wednesday" where all wine is 1/2 off. I think this was our 3rd week in a row? :)
Syd had her 9 month well visit. She is growing so fast! Thankfully no shots today.
Aria and Kai came over to play for a little bit. They wanted to jump on the bed, so I tossed them all in and let them go to town.
