Water Fun

Here is a video of Makenna going down the waterslide head first and Matt throwing Mark and Makenna into the pool. The kids have had a great time the past two days with their Cousin Madison in town! (The Pool was a gift from Matt's Aunt Cebra, Uncle Mike, Aunt Myrna, and Uncle Jeff for Mark's birthday and the waterslide is Craig and Judy's).

Dancing Queen

Here is a video of Makenna at the parade today. A car came by that was playing music and she just started dancing...she stopped for a minute when she spotted some candy (which you can actually see the proof of how well they were sharing their candy), but then she just started dancing again. I just love the part when she starts shaking her butt! She's just too cute sometimes!

Getting Ready for the 4th

Here is a video of the kids from yesterday throwing those popper things. They had a great time doing it. If you can hear Makenna, when it doesn't work, she says, "Almost" and when it does she gets really excited and would say, "I did it!"

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

Being silly as usual

Happy 4th of July! Here are some pictures I managed to get of the kids before we left this morning and boy am I thankful because it rained the rest of the day!

4th of July Parade

What a day today! The weather has not been cooperating at all...it has been 65 and Rainy all day and our power was just out for the past 2 hours! Hopefully the rest of our evening shapes up. We went the the Annual Portage Parade this morning and then over to Matt's Aunt Diane's house. Even though it was raining the kids toughed it out and stood out waving to everything that went by and grabbing all the candy they could. Mark was even picked out of the crowd by the firemen and given a fire hat. He was so happy! Makenna was a little scared at first with all the loud sirens so she cuddled up with her Grandpa J and asked him to cover her ears. After that was done, she was all smiles. They were actually getting along great with each other and all of the other kids and were all sharing everything that was thrown out....If only it could be like that everyday!

Quality Time with Grandpa J

Here are some pictures of Mark and Makenna with Matt's Dad. Craig, Judy, Marci, and Rob met us up in New Buffalo for the afternoon. The kids had a great time looking at birds with their Grandpa and walking along the beach. What a fun family day!

We went up to New Buffalo on Sunday afternoon to take the kids to the Beach and then out to dinner and ice cream. They had a blast. It was a great family day!
