Fishing with Daddy

Mike took the girls fishing and Olivia caught a perch!!
maybe she should go along with her Daddy when he goes,
she seems to have better luck!!

Busy weekend

Ava has become an avid rollerblader, following in the
footsteps of big sister Liv!

In the pictures below, we took the girls blueberry picking and
made blueberry pancackes for breakfast!! (the girls ate
most of them before we even got home! )

Future Mechanic??

Olivia and I came home from the store to find
Ava working on her car, which I guess had
broken down while we were gone. She was very
serious about getting the job done so she could
get to the park!




Art Show


Olivia had an art show at Kollen Park.
There was a ton of stuff to look at and even
a dance routine! We got a couple of good photos
by the fountain.

Beach Bunnies!


We took the boat to the beach where Mike and the
girls made sand castles and swam out to a sand bar,
while I sat in the sun and got burned to a crisp!!
Thank goodness the girls' sunscreen worked better then
mine did! On the way back to the dock they rode behind
the boat in the tube! It was the first time for Ava, and
she loved it!!

Golfing


We tried miniature golf this weekend, and it was quite
fun! Ava gets the concept, but doesn't want to wait for
everyone to take turns, so she just keeps going until she
gets her ball in the hole (which takes about 25 tries!)
and then she yells "I won!" every time. :-)

Finally......

..............hot weather!!! the pool is a bit cold yet
but it sure beats the heat!!

Happy Birthday Olivia!!

We celebrated Olivia's 12th birthday on Friday,
with cake and ice cream, and a couple of friends!
Poppy and Grandma gave her a cool new bed,
it's made out of metal so she can put magnets
all over it, and Poppy painted it purple!!!
Thanks for all your hard work Poppy!

Family

We took a nice walk through the trails to
beach. The weather was perfect, and we
had the best time.........together!

Tulip Time


Since Olivia was with her friends, Daddy,Mama
and Ava went out on the lake to watch the
Tulip Time fireworks. We had fun together, and
got a couple of cute pictures, but we sure missed
Liv!!

I tried to take some pictures of my girls with my
tulips, but you can barely see the tulips! that's
ok, I'd rather see my pretty girls any way!
