We kicked things off on the Second with a day in South Haven and a birthday party for Mom Taylor.

Enjoying the third in our Red, White, and Blue

On the Fourth we hosted a backyard gathering - fun, fun, fun!

In the evening we checked out the Meijer Gardens. Had the place to ourselves - such soaking fun!

God bless America!

Family Favorites

We three :)

Sweet Girl Cousins

A bridal shower for Megan! Delicious food -

It's been a good stretch of seeing our relatives!

Gardening with Friends

With friends and cousin :)

Dig, dig, diggeroo!

 

Sometimes we get carried away!

All boys love 'the pump'

Checking out all the farm has to offer.

Water time!!!

This was the first time to the Gardens since she started walking. 

Game changer!

Weekends with dad

Miss M is learning early on that any time Dad gets involved, the fun goes through the roof. 

He'll get you a Pronto Pup 

AND 

ice cream when you visit Grand Haven.

He'll even spring for Sandy :)

Share his Frosty Boy

AND
not make you sit in your high chair for dinner

He's much less of a cheapo than mom :)

Ya, he is my Dad.

Daaaaaaaaads. What can you say? Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em!

Peter loves being Miss M's dad, I think it mostly has to do with another day of gifting for him ;)

Miss M loves her Grandpy, this is mostly because of the iPhone that is usually in his front pocket ;)

I think we'll live with 'em, we've got some good ones.
