Our Year in Photos

Our annual Indians game! Courtesy of Midwest ISO...thanks Mom and Reanne :)   We always have so much fun at these games... how can you not with free food, free drinks, and free seats!!   This is my 5th year going to this outing and I can with 100% accuracy predict what the weather will be...weeks in advance! It really is an exact science...   It depends on if I'm 9 months pregnant or not. The 3 years I've not been pregnant, it's been unseasonably cool and perfect weather for a July evening. The 2 years I went when I was within days of my due date.... 100+ temps with horrid humidity. It never fails. So You're Welcome Midwest ISO for allowing this perfect weather ;)       We've been so busy around here lately (hence the lack of pics this week!) Hoping to put our house on the market September 1, so we've been painting, cleaning, purging, and organizing like a bunch of crazies! ...

The Simple Life... a life that I would love to one day have -  although Josh thinks differently. A life away from the chaos,  and a life where hard work literally puts food on the table.   It had been 2 years since we had made the journey down to Grandpa's...way too long.   I love it at his house... and I'm telling you all right now... if ever there is a zombie apocalypse, this is where you will find me! And I'm not even joking a little... I've watched way to much Walking Dead to not think about these things.      I remember running up and down this rock wall thousands of times as a kid... it always seemed so scary, and Mason was a little leery at first.  Laundry to fold and blackberries to pick! She's got 5 babies waiting to hatch under her belly :)   Making lunch as a family! And learning Grandpa's secret family BBQ recipe. ...

One last look at our time in Michigan! Family photos on the beach
