Semi Wordless Wednesday: Fun in the SNOW!!

It has been way to long since I blogged here. I am back and ready to get into the grove of posting regularly!

Here are a few photos of my 4 kids having fun in the snow in January when we went up north for a weekend!

Wordless Wednesday: Cute little Indians!!

Almost Wordless Wednesday: Soccer Season!

My oldest son James is playing soccer this fall and had his first game on Monday! Here are some photos of the game. He is in the blue #33! He looked good out there! They did not win, but played hard and had a lot of fun! :)

Wordless Wednesday: Canning Tomato's!

I have been canning the tomatos from my garden the past couple weeks!

Wordless Wednesday: Frog on Fence!

Ok, this is an Almost Wordless Wednesday again!! I finally bought a new camera a couple weeks ago and have had a lot of fun learning how to use it (I still have a lot to learn!)! I got a Canon Rebel XS SLR. It takes amazing photos. I am having fun using the close up function. Here are a few photos I took of a frog on a fence next to our house! The frog let me get really close to him and I kept hoping that he was not going to jump on my head!! :)

Wordless Wednesday: Fun in Lake Michigan at Sunset

This is an Almost Wordless Wednesday! I have a hard time posting photos without saying any words!! :)

We spent 5 days at Silver Lake, Michigan last week camping. Here are some photos from our first night at Lake Michigan out on the Dune Beach. The sunset was beautiful, the water was warm and everyone had a blast playing in the water and in the sand!

Almost Wordless Wednesday: Boat Captains!

The Ferry "Emerald Isle" that we rode on both ways!

Brayden pretending to turn us around to head back to the Island!! :) Uncle Mike is sitting next to Brayden!

Brayden getting some "help" from his cousin Keegan!

Emily wanted her Daddy to help her steer the boat!

Keegan and Brayden all smiles after hanging out in the wheel house with Uncle Mike!

We spent our 4th of July weekend on Beaver Island, MI this year for a Family Reunion on my hubby's side! Kyle's Aunt Kitty and Uncle Mike live on the Island. Uncle Mike is one of the Ferry Captain's for the Beaver Island Boat Company and on our way back to the mainland on Monday(it is about a 2 hour ferry ride, or 30 miles to Beaver Island) he let the kids (and us) visit him in the wheel house! The kids all got a turn driving the boat(not sure if that is the proper terminology or not)! I thought it was pretty cool and the kids thought it was AWESOME! You can see it on their faces! I will be posting more photos about our trip to Beaver Island soon!

Wordless Wednesday: Toes in the water!

Emily putting her toes in Lake Michigan on Beaver Island over the 4th of July weekend!

Wordless Thursday! River Reflection!! ;)

I love the reflection of my oldest James in the Manistee River! :)

Blogger was giving me problems posting photos yesterday, so I was not able to post my usual Wordless Wednesday! So I am posting today and calling it Wordless Thursday (does not sound quite as good)! Plus, as I continue to type this I realize it really isn't wordless! lol Oh Well. Can't say I did not try. Have a great night!

Wordless Wednesdays - Because I am hot!!

As Emily plays outside in the sprinkler and I think about joining her because it is so hot and humid, I thought I would share a photo from back in February! I don't like hot and humid!! I like summer without the sticky heat. This photo was taken during a huge snow storm we had!

Wordless Wednesdays - Shhhh, Emily's sleeping!

Emily was so worn out one night, she crawled into our bed and crashed! I moved her to her own bed for the night, but not before I snapped this cute photo!

Wordless Wednesdays - Making Cupcakes with my girls!

Saturday night we made cupcakes for Mother's Day! They turned out super yummy and we had fun decorating them all different!

Wordless Wednesdays - Look Mom! I caught a Fish!

Emily throwing the fish she caught back in the water!

Hannah baited and took her own fish off the hook!


Brayden's fish is a little dirty since he dropped it, lol!

James caught 2 fish this day.

Wordless Wednesdays - Empire State Building!

Keegan (cousin), Brayden and James spent a morning over Spring Break building the Empire State Building! It turned out great!

Wordless Wednesdays - Fishing fun!

This is an Almost Wordless Wednesday!

We have been doing some fishing the last few evenings. This was Emily's first time and she has a new princess fishing pole (there is not a real hook on it!). The fish that we caught were pretty small but we had fun and enjoyed the beautiful spring evening. By the way, I caught the first fish this night and it ended up being the biggest! :)

Such a big girl.

She knows what she is doing!

Helping Daddy reel in a bass.

Kyle and Emily with their fish!

Brayden and one of the fish he caught!

Wordless Wednesdays - Fun with Pringles!

Part girl, part duck! ;)

Wordless Wednesdays - Goose Decoys, A girls best friend!

Emily loves her Daddy's goose decoys. Today she carried them all over the yard and lined them up. She even tried to give one a drink out of her sippy cup!
