Fun in the Leaves

I love Fall in MI. It's soooo beautiful! Here are some shots of the kids playing....

Our Vacation

We took our first official family vacation....we traveled to the Montague/Whitehall area to the shores of Lake Michigan. We had been to this area previously with Jesse's family and loved the shoreline. We found this cabin to rent and enjoyed some time together. There were 107 steps from the cabin to the beach, but worth every step!

The beach was sandy and beautiful! The grass you see was back from the water near our campfire area. The weather was warm a couple of days and we were able to swim.

This was taken on our last day, Maggie's 6th birthday!

We found a cool park with tons of stairs in the Muskegon area. You could see everything from the top of the stairs!

Fishing in Montague off the "Fishing Bridge." We didn't catch anything, but had a nice time.

Maggie wasn't too excited about fishing, but she tolerated it!

Me!

Luke, Maggie & Jesse spent a lot of time digging in the sand on the beach. Maggie & Jesse would make 'recipes' and had a great time!

Us! We enjoyed our time and we will go back again someday!!

Picking Wildflowers

The kids and I picked some wildflowers the other day. They were so sweet and cute!

I bought Maggie this flower crown, I couldn't resist. She looks so sophisticated to me!

My sweet kids!

TMNT

After watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Luke decided to make some Nunchuks out of Legos and be a ninja!!

Cards

*gasp* I got out my stamps this morning! My friend, Christina, posted a challenge on her blog and I thought I would participate!

Snowball

Meet "Snowball." She's the newest addition to our plethora of outdoor cats. She stole my heart with her blue eyes, playful nature and abundance of toes (she has 5 on the front two paws and 6 on the back two paws).
