It has been so long and I apologize to everyone. If you are reading this, I am going to post some new updates, so please keep checking. There has been so much happening... where do I begin?

Tanner's first trip to Michigan!

Every summer (with the exception for last summer due to my pregnancy) we head to Michigan for about two weeks. Nate's family has a "cottage" on the lake. I appreciate that they refer to it as a "cottage", but a 5-bedroom, 4-bath house is not quite what I think of when I think of a "cottage". It is beautiful! The whole place. I love going there! It is so much fun.

This was our first summer with a little one, and man, was it fun! Tanner had his first boat ride, went on his first jet ski with Daddy, floated on his back (in his life jacket, don't worry) in the lake, and played for hours on end in the kiddie pool in the yard. Our already blonde little man, is tan and even blonder. Too cute!

Here are some pictures, please enjoy. :)

Daddy and baby boy!

First actual experience in the lake... he wasn't so sure what to think at first. But as you can see... he loved it!

He loved it so much... Nate took him for a jetski ride. He had so much fun he fell asleep. Too cute!

The "gang" enjoying the lake! Benny, Zephyr, Onyx, Pam, Sharna, Thelma, Louise, Nate, Amber, Tanner, Jeff, Shalyn, Julia, Nico, Katelyn, Dan and Laurel. It was a great time!

Family photos... now we know where he gets that open-mouthed smile from. :)

The "cottage" we enjoy every summer. It is a blast!
