SUMMERTIME - JULY 2011
Splashing in the water, blowing bubbles, and spending the day with Brooklyn. Such a fun summer day...
FOURTH OF JULY 2011
We went to the Fourth of July Parade with Gwen, Aunt Karen, Therese, and Shalom.
Shalom was here from Ohio. Davis loves him.
Diana waved her flag for the entire parade.
The lady on stilts was a big hit...
Diana was mesmerized by the police officers and fire fighters...
The whole group...
PARTY WITH THE JACKSONS...7/2/11
We celebrated Arcelya's second birthday and the Fourth of July with the Jackson Family. Such a fun party!
FUN WITH DADDY - 7/1/11
I have learned over my nearly 5 years of being a parent (it feels more like 50) that if I would like a moment to myself to use the bathroom, blow dry my hair, get dressed, etc. that I have to give my children something to do. They may get bored in the 5 minutes I am taking care of myself you know! So, while getting ready to spend the day with my Mom (Michael had the day off work) I told Davis to write a list of everything he wanted to do with Daddy that day. 60 seconds later he runs into our bathroom with this sheet of paper...
If you can't read it - it says "FUN" in bubble letters. How sweet that days with Daddy are described in one simple word "fun"!
INCREDIBLE DAVIS - 6/11
Apparently, Davis was trying to look like the Incredible Hulk. I was thankful he only decided to turn his hands green with his interesting creation. I don't even remember now what that was on his hands!!
This child has been a professional mess-maker since birth - I don't think that will ever change. Luckily, Diana likes to stay pretty clean and keep things neat!
PLAY DAY WITH M@X AND GR@CE - 6/29/11
We had such a fun play day with some new friends we met at the park this summer. Davis loved playing with Max since that is the name of the main character in his favorite book! Davis loves playing with older kids so he was happy to find a buddy who was older than him.
Mommy was even more happy that the "older buddy" had a younger sister only 3 months older than Diana. They are so cute together.....
The boys going through all their nature finds...
Max showing Davis his secret hide-out at the park...
Max read "Where the Wild Things Are" inside the fort. Of course Davis thought that was the best - I caught a picture of them coming out. I, of course, did not enter the "secret" hide out!
CAMP MINIK@NI - JUNE 2011
Camp Minik@ni is one of my favorite places. D&d spent two days per week here this past summer and they had such a memorable time.
First day of Summer Adventure - they were so happy they could go together!
Even walking in to camp each morning was fun!
Big brother leading little sister...
Hop-skotch!!
BOYS ONLY....6/13/11
Why are these photos significant to me? They mark the first time I really saw Davis tell Diana that this was a "boys only" game. Davis decided that when he is playing with the 6 year old twins in our neighborhood that Diana needs to stay in the house. Of course, she was not happy about this.
Thats ok though we girls embarrassed him by taking photos of him playing his "boys only" game...

NIGHT WITH THE NEIGHBORS...6/5/11
Our neighbors had a new baby (their third) so we offered to take the older two out with us for the evening. Davis wanted to show Laila & Makai the special park he had went to for his field trip. Davis adores Laila - you can tell by his expression...
Laila is a mother hen - watching out for all three kiddos..
Michael showing Makai the water...
Davis and all his classmates looked for seaglass on his field trip but didn't find any. Laila found a piece for him - he was in awe!
We ended the night with a trip to Culvers - ice cream makes for some very happy kids.
FATHER/SON CAMPING TRIP - 6/4/11
Davis and Michael had the opportunity to go on an overnight camping trip with a group of Dads and their children that they do annually to celebrate the end of school. This was such a great experience for Davis. They stayed at a Sportman Club about an hour from our house. Michael did a great job documenting the trip in photos for me - you know he was given strict instruction before he left!
Getting ready to go - Miss Diana cried for a bit after the boys left without her!
The sleeping arrangements..
Watching the big boys fish..
Davis was so proud to share his snacks with all the big boys..
Doing his "explorer face" at the vineyard they rode to on the ATV's.
