Cousins

Yesterday was a fun day at home with me and 6 O'Mara boys: Tim, Blake, Bryce, Max, Quinn, and Declan. We loved every minute of it :)

super CUTE boy Declan (9 Months)

The boys played school bus and made Max sit in the back


whole lotta love with these boys

The little guys attacked Tim

and no play day would be complete without a yummy treat!

Grove's Round Lake

We are so lucky to have friends with this beautiful lake in their backyard and plenty of property for us to camp :) Mo and Judy Grove (our friend Jeff's parents) live in Gladwin and were so kind to share their little piece of heaven with us over the weekend. It's so peaceful, we just love spending time there. The company of our great friends made it even better!

Lauren & Lia showing off their fish


Blake's catch

Mo gives the kids a lot of golf cart rides, they were cheering so much it sounded like a ride at cedar point

Rich is always a big hit with the kids! He took them out on the paddle boat, swam with them, and even taught them a lot about fishing

Alex caught and unhooked her own fish thanks to Rich coaching her

Bryce holding his catch

Our camper was full with 4 kids, we had fun with our special guest Alex

What a GREAT weekend to wrap up our summer camping fun!!

Our Bryce is such a nice big cousin, posing for pictures to encourage Quinn :)

It was a very nice ceremony followed by a fun afternoon with family. We are truly blessed to have Quinn and Declan in our lives and couldn't be prouder to have them as our God sons.

Beach Bums

Ahhh, it has been an awesome summer! We LOVE the west side of the state and made it our mission to visit all the best beaches and lakes Michigan has to offer. We just spent several days in Traverse City and made day trips to Elk Rapids, Torch Lake, and Glen Haven enjoying clear, super blue water, great beaches, and picture perfect scenery.
