Michigan Reunion 2014

We really enjoyed our visit to Daniel's family in Michigan.  Here are some highlights:

The Rogers Family Reunion (Daniel's mom's side) meets at the same beach each year and the kids always love getting in the water.  It was a little chilly this year so I was content playing in the sand and walking along the shore.





A huge hopscotch for the kids that Kristy and Tamara made, it was awesome.



Steven brought us to a horse farm he used to work at and all the kids got to go for a ride.  Esther even went a second time with me.  It was the first time in a saddle for our kids, they were all so brave!



 The cousins played super well together the whole time.  I'm glad the kids will have such good memories of being together at Grandma's house. 

 Here's a happy memory from 4 years ago, so cute!

Summer Days at our House

At last, some pictures from our world!  
(Esther asks if people we're talking about live in our world, probably meaning state/city, but it cracks me up every time!)



Though it was the middle of June, we DID plant a garden this year.  The kids love to water it and were very excited to see some green stuff come up, so even if we don't get to eat one bean I'll still consider it a success for their sake.





Ammon's favorite phrase lately is "Ammon do dat."  He is an independent 2 year old wanting to do everything himself, including putting his own shorts on.  It doesn't show well in the photo but he got both legs in one hole this time, but did not want us to fix it for him.


Micah does a great job keeping me company everywhere I go.


The kids were super excited to eat these patriotic pops on the 4th.  We also joined some neighbors for a BBQ and some fireworks they put together on our nearby dead end street.  Spencer kept telling us this was the best 4th of July EVER.


That's not a super bright apple, it's a tomato, and he ate the whole thing.




Daniel's favorite snoozing spot. 



This is a photo from 2 years ago that we tried to reproduce, at Esther's request.  She hears from a lot of people how sad it is to be the only girl, but the truth is she gets along great with all of her brothers. and she absolutely adores Micah "even though he's a boy," as she says.  And with no other girls around, she likes to team up with me when she can,"keeping the girls together," she tells me.
