Summer Fun in 2011

We had such a busy summer!  The kids were involved in many different camps, VBS, swim lessons & we made time to swim and get together with friends as much as possible.  Here are just a few pictures from what we were up to this Summer.

My girl Taylor had a lemonade stand and donated a portion of her proceeds to the Kalamazoo Gospel Mission.  She & Daddy went down to the mission to deliver the money personally, and they had a really neat experience while they were doing it.

We made sure to hit up South Haven with friends, and had a blast!  It was such a beautiful day, and once again I survived with all 3 kids!

Twinsies- Caroline & Lo in their matching suits.

Rhett & Zach had so much fun playing together.

The three musketeers!

Fun in the sand!

Taking a break..

Poor Lo… Why did Mommy make me wear this?

Staci, Ashley & Me!

We went raspberry picking, and Taylor and I made Raspberry freezer jam.  It was super easy & we are still eating it!

Yum!  My favorite!

Taylor working hard!

We went blueberry picking on a 90 something degree day and roasted!  Oh, and this was also the day after a big storm so a lot of people (including Staci) were without power!

So… we loaded up the troops and went over to my parents to cool off!

We celebrated Ashley’s birthday under a tree & had a picnic!  Staci brought Texas sheet cake!  Love this picture of all the kids watching.

We picked Cherries!

My toothless girl..

Sweet Zachie.. didn’t get into the Cherry picking so much, but he loved Blueberry picking & Raspberry picking.

What a group!  This picture makes me smile.

Loving the swing!

This makes me miss Summer!
