Ears piercing

My rule has always been that if Veda ever wanted her ears pierced she had to ask. Well that day came. She went for Kindergarten shots and was as scared As could be. Shockingly, she handled them like a champ ( scraping her knees is the end of the world) immediately after getting into the car she begged to get her ears pierced. I had always told her it was like getting a shot. It would hurt but only for a brief moment. I was excited for her, we took the boys home and off we went. She did great!

Boys will be boys!

Grayson's favorite past time this summer has been peeing outside. I usually don't care if we are just at home playing outside but he took it to a new level while out for a bike ride. "Mommy, I hafta go potty whelly bad!!!" What was I suppose to let him do? I couldn't let him pee his pants, he would have been devastated... Do he did what he likes to do, he found a tree!

Veda strikes a pose!

5 1/2 years old......to be that young and carefree. I love you my sweet girl!

Summer fun in Boyne

Our trip to Boyne City was a blast, as always. We stayed with Grandma Hosmer who was eager to spend lots of time with us.  She really enjoyed cooking for us. I haven't had so many sweets in one day in a very long time! Yum! Of course the home cooked meals that were not cooked by Joe or I, were awesome too!
The weather only cooperated for the beach for about 2 hrs of our whole trip which was a bummer but we made our own fun. My late grandfather use to drive me around on his riding lawn mower as a kid and its still parked out in his pole barn so Joe took all the kids for rides. They had a blast. It brought back a lot of great memories for me. I sure miss Northern Michigan and hope to return soon.
