Ludington camping trip...

We had a great time in Ludington camping a few weeks ago. The boy did not believe we were really camping because we were in a motor home not "in those blue things with sleeping bags." His idea of camping is tents and sleeping bags. We had lots of fun on the beach--where we made "sand angels" along with our sand castles, and at the marina pool with grampie and we saw a big Coast Guard ship and lots of fun at the community playground and went on bike rides and watched the Badger come in made s'mores by the campfire...

Three Years Old...

A Birthday Boy! A Birthday Bike! A Birthday Cookie Bouquet! A Birthday Cake! A Birthday Party! A Trip to Big Boy for "those corn things!" All made for a Three Year Old Birthday Extravaganza! Saturday morning started with grammie and grampie coming out to the house to see the boy get his birthday surprise--a new bike! Then, the doorbell rang and a box arrived--inside was a cookie birthday bouquet from Aunt B. and Uncle T. in Texas. Later, lots of Friends and Family showed up to celebrate with us and made for a great time. We had balloons, dogs-on-the-grill, a choo-choo train cake, homemade ice cream, presents, the jumper, and lots of fun! The evening ended with us watching a movie and falling to sleep exhausted. The next morning we awoke and the first thing said was "let's go to Big Boy for breakfast and get "those corn things!" So off we went to Big Boy and had a great breakfast to end the birthday party weekend. Whew!

He did do his own hair for his third birthday party...he said "look mom, I used my bubbles and your brush!"

Our little monkey! Thanks Kimmie! :)

PRESENTS!

BIG BOY!
