Happy Birthday!!

Pin It It is my WONDERFUL husband's birthday today!!!! He is 26. I am so thankful for him and I want to make this day really special. He started his day meeting with his bible study group. Then the boys and I brought him lunch and card. Tonight I am making chicken Alfredo and we are opening gifts before he goes to praise team practice. Tomorrow we are going out to a new sushi restaurant in Traverse City with my sister Sarah and her husband Chris. The guys birthdays are 3 days apart and they both love sushi.
Babe - I love you and I am so thankful God chose you for me. I could not have asked for a better husband. You are the best.
I will post some birthday pics soon.

Pics of the Boys

Pin It I need to get some professional photos done, but it is a little hard with the closeness in the boys ages. Spence is not to pumped to be holding his little brother... and I am a little scared. I decided a few pictures at home would be my best bet for now. Check out our little cuties!

A Day in the Sun

Pin It Just a few cute pics of our "Little Bubba" on the beach this summer. He is so much fun.

Birthday

Pin It We have decided to celebrate all the grand kids birthdays on the 4th of July since #10 was just born and life is getting pretty busy. Here is a peek at our first annual.

Birthday cakes for all the cousins

Cautious at first

"Is Nana going to stop me?"

"I'm going for it"

"and now I will help John Paul out"

THE FOURTH OF JULY!

Pin It We are privileged enough to spend the fourth of July in Lake City with both of our families. It turned out to be a beautiful day and we took both the boys to the parade. We headed over to my family's for all the nieces and nephews birthday parties (pictures to be posted later) and then went back to Bartlett's for the fireworks. Justin had the whole week off after the fourth and we pulled a camper into Justin's parents driveway ( a little trashy, but very cheap and easy!). We had a great week and hope to make a tradition of it. Here are some pics.



Headed to the parade

The Bartlett clan who made it up for the 4th. Thanks for coming everyone! We love seeing you.
