Ann Arbor Hands on Museum with Granny!

When my brothers and I were little, one of our favorite things to do was go to the Hands on Museum with Granny.  Some of the things have stayed the same-like the big bubble, but it sure looked a lot smaller to me than when I was little.  I thought it very special that I was able to take Kyle with Granny, just like she took me when I was little.  Kyle had so much fun testing everything out!

Blueberries!

It's blueberry season and it's Kyle's favorite fruit!  I'm surprised he hasn't turned blue from eating sooo many!  So, since we were in the blueberry capital over the 4th, we stopped and bought a big box since little red was sleeping and we didn't get to pick any.  Kyle loved helping to wash the berries and prep them for freezing...and shoving as many as he could in his mouth too!

South Haven Summer Fun

Every year, Adam's Aunt Rosie and Uncle John invite Adam's dad's side of the family out for the 4th of July weekend.  People put up campers and tents and camp around the house because there are so many relatives that come (64 was the count this year!)  It is a lot of fun and the weather was absolutely awesome this year!  There is more food than you can imagine...and even better (or worse maybe) desserts galore!  Kyle loved playing in the giant sandbox aka the beach.  He even slept through the fireworks the neighbors set off near the tent!  We celebrated my birthday by going out to breakfast at Food Dance in k-zoo, in which Adam's uncle put fame to the Kirklin name because they supply a lot of their food they grow on the farm to the restaurant.  Then, we had a Bert's Bakery Cake (where we got our wedding cake) and BK watched Kyle while Adam and I spent the afternoon in Saugatuck.  The sunset was beautiful!!!!!!

Adam Meets Izzo

At Adam's firm conference for work last week, Izzo was a guest speaker.  Adam was so excited to get the chance to talk to Izzo, even though it was briefly...and get his picture taken too!

Swimming!

Kyle LOVES the water so much this summer!  He is a daredevil!  He loves jumping in and goes underwater from time to time.

Bubble Bath

Kyle loves bubble baths!

Summer is HERE!

Summer has begun! I finished on Monday, raced around the house in attempt to semi-organize, and started out with Kyle at the Splash Zone in Oxford with friends yesterday! He LOVES the water! Even better, on our first day of spending summer time together, Kyle never laughed so hard! I even caught a bit on camera before my memory card was full (add that to the summer list of things to do). Check it out. So far, Kyle has had fun eating mud, we started potty training yesterday, LOTS of laughing, baking (and eating the dough like his mom) and then we topped it off today when he reached his hand in his pants today and had a few fingers full of poop! Eewww!! Wish us luck on this potty training thing. Oh, and on top of this fun stuff, on our way home from buying big boy underwear at Target, the car decides to stall on me a bunch. We made it home before the rain..and the earthquake, but who knows what's wrong with it! Never a dull moment around here!
