Tawas Camping

Tawas is so beautiful! We camped at Tawas Point at the State park and we were so impressed with the amazing beaches and the forever long bike path into town. We were also able to spend time with Brad's parents at their boat in Tawas Bay Marina, so it was a ton of fun.

Blake, Bryce, Taylor & Grace

Brad organized an awesome beach obstacle course, so here they are showing the kids how to run the course

Blake, wearing Tim's shoes, getting water to fill the bucket


Taylor working hard to get the ball inside the inner tube ring with the racket.


Grace scooping sand as fast as she can to get the bucket filled to the top


Bryce running through the cones

Blake won the kids round with a time of 1 minute 13 seconds!


Then the adults were up :)


Monica with a nice stride after rounding the beach chairs




Some nice action shots of Brad




Tim, with an unfair advantage of getting to wear his own shoes, racing to fill the cup

It was Tim who won the adult round!


Then everybody got jet boat rides




Our Friends, Drew and Traci, stopped by for a visit, too. So nice to see them!!!


Then back at the campsite the kids loved the park, especially Max who thinks he is as big as the other kids ;)



It was a great weekend and we are looking forward to our next camping trip in July!

Fore!

We have been spending a lot of time at the Golf course this year and the boys are loving it! The course we go to has a Family Friendly Par 3 course in the back so we are able to take the kids out for some practice rounds :)

Happy Birthday Alex

We were invited to celebrate Alex's 7th birthday on Tuesday at Lucky's Steakhouse and then cake at her house after. Alex is like the daughter I never had, she is at our house nearly every day, all the boys love her and they also fight like siblings occasionally. Tim always insists that she is so much like me that if we did have a daughter she would be exactly like Alex.


Max brought flowers for his "TT"


Crazy kids

Not sure why Max is holding up #1 with both hands, lol

This girl LOVES crab legs, which is why her birthday dinner was at Luckys!!


The day was topped off with Ice Cream pie from Uncle Rays. YUM!!!

Happy 7th Birthday to our girl!

Just a picture of Max and his friend Cooper. Max just loves this dog, follows him around, pets him, and I'm sure I will break his heart one day when I tell him we can never have a dog.

Soccer Spring Season



It's been a rough spring season for soccer with TONS of rain and cancellations. Blake and Bryce are finally able to play some games and they are having a blast.




Here is Blake, red jersey #27




He hustles hard and loves the game








Here is Bryce scoring a goal!


Go Brycie Go!









Blake going for the steal




It's so fun to watch the boys playing hard out on the field!

Bryce Graduates Preschool

Congratulations to Bryce on his preschool graduation!!! He had a GREAT year at Faith Lutheran Preschool and is now looking forward to starting kindergarten in the Fall :)

Here he comes! (with his special friend Lauren right in front of him)


Mrs. Cronkright talked about Bryce being a nice and handsome boy and a big helper in class

There's our guy in the back row


Way to go buddy


Bryce invited Alex to attend and she was happy to be there


Soooo proud of Bryce!
