Well we said we would get together this summer with our cousins from the south and… we did it. Check out some of the cool shots from the waterpark. Good times in the backyard, the basement and a barbeque of course. Thanks for coming Adams and most of all for packing the trunk full with things from our basement

Erika and Justin did a roadtrip this weekend to see their cool cousins in Waterloo. It was Keegans birthday so aside from the pizza and cake there was the usual… dress up, video gaming, magnet dropping, piano playing, puzzle doing, yelling, screaming, laughing and of course the slot-machine on full tilt in the basement !! Best part… we all slept over. Justin loved hang’in in the bunk beds.

Keegan has been playing piano now for 4 years and he gave us a little show with some great tunes of course with his sister Taryn on vocals…. you can see little Aislin in this video too… she is anxious to get on the keys too. Erika has only been in her piano lessons now for about 5 weeks or so and was a little shy after hearing Keegan bounce out his “Beaver Town Boogie” - we’ll keep practicing and get her up here soon playing for Christmas maybe. Speaking of holidays… we will all be together again as the Martin family comes to visit Erika and Justin.

I rounded the kids together after the art work session and we did the Happy Birthday video for mommmy

We headed north this month. Our first stop was at Uncle Paul’s in Huntsville. Here we got to hang out in Jacob’s pool, hit some golf balls and bounce around on the trampoline next door at Ed & Julie’s. We finished off the day with a big barbeque. Donna came home to join us and Gramma came over along with Uncle Ed, Aunt Julie and Cooper. We celebrated mommy’s Birthday with an ice cream cake from DQ

We headed out the next morning to River Valley to our Cabin at the Blue Demon Lodge. Here we got do all kinds of things. Erika, gramma, pepere and daddy went fishing and gramma caught 2 fish.

We also got to ride on a 4 wheeler, roast marshmallows and go swimming in the lake. Matante Lyse & Mononcle Eloie have a wicked spot. We are going back at Christmas. Fun in the Snow….. erika xo
