Makenna & Eric

Eric loves going to McKenna's house to play..............

Baby Cameron

Woops! Crash!

Auntie's Slide

Eric loves playing at the park by Auntie's house.... he especially loves the slide now too!

Raking the Leaves

Eric loves helping us whatever we are doing, cleaning a lot, or raking.... So of course he had to have his own rake!

You always have to make time to play in the leaves though!

Eric likes when his friend joins him........

Summer FUN!

Sorry it's been SO long since a post! It has been such a busy fun summer for us! We have been up north A LOT & loving it. Eric loves swimming & playing with friends up there!

Being naked is a favorite pastime for Eric!

We love taking Eric to Grayling to the Soda Shop, they have tons of different malts & milkshakes & great grilled cheese's!

If we are hungry on the way to or from the cottage this mexican trailer is our favorite place to go! This was all Jeff wanted for Father's day this year so we had to make the trip!!

Eric LOVES hanging out in the backpack carrier! We take hikes with him or walks on the beaches with him in it! HE even helped put the dock & hoists in the water this year in the backpack!

In June we were lucky enough to get the Brodersen's to come up with us & us mom's took all 3 kids (and a 4th jess is preggo with) up on a Thursday. We had Eric, Makenna, & Griffin (he couldnt fit in the pic) all strapped in a row in the backseat together! Wow! They did behave really nicely though!

The dads came up together on Friday night.

Jess had to re-read the Pinkalicious book so many times for the kids! At least they loved it!

Hanging out at Flag point

Chicago March 2010

Eric got his second trip to Chicago!

He got his first fishing pole on the way there!!

It was kind of a bust since Eric started teething & slept 1/2 the night Friday but didnt sleep again until we got home Sunday!

We went to see the River being dyed Green with Emily & Abbey. Eric was rocking the Green Sparty clothes of course!

What we didnt know was that Chicago is just like MSU For St.Patty's Day & really has a lot of Spirit!! This is how most people were dressed there!! We definately have to go back next year!

He has had his first 8 teeth (4 on top & 4 on bottom) for a while & this tooth that came in on the middle back bottom was really not fun for anyone.

The thing was even though Eric wouldnt sleep he was still so happy! We went walking around to see the green river & had some lunch at Harry Caray's.

We really did not miss out on too much all in all since we still got some HUGE sandwiches at Lucky's on Friday & then on our way home on Sunday morning about 4:30am we stopped for a hot dog with all the people who just got out of the bars!

We saw the restaurant Lucky's on Man Vs Food & knew we had to try it! They put the fries right inside of the sandwich!

This was definately the best hot dog I have ever had!!!!


Apologies to Emily for depriving you of your sleep all weekend & thanks for having us again!!
