Deer Acres

The other day the boys and myself had the chance to have a fun day with Grandma Mowat before she goes back to school next week. It is always fun to have her around more often during the summer and the summer always goes by way too fast!! We decided to take the boys to Deer Acres in Pinconning. I hadn't been there since I was a kid and didn't really even remember going just seeing pictures of it. It was a neat experience. We got to see lots of animals like monkeys, llamas, an alligator and of course deer. We went on a train ride through the woods which was Jensen's favorite part, accept he wasn't sure he liked it to well when the horn or the bell went off. After we left Grandma treated us to ice cream, it was lots of fun!

A Day at the Fair

Myself and Brian's mom were able to take the boys to the Isabella County Fair the other day and it was lots of fun. We went during the day so Brian wasn't able to go with us. I had never been to this fair before having always gone to the Midland Fair and it was a lot smaller but it had a lot of kids rides. Fortunately we happened to go on wristband day so I got one for Jensen and one for me because some of the rides I had to go on with him and I needed a band too to be able to do that. He really enjoyed them and soon was brave enough to do a lot of them himself! I was excited that he is going to like to ride rides like Momma!
Here he is on some of the rides:

Peyton sitting up

Sorry this is a little dark but just wanted to give you an idea of what he is doing right now.

Peyton @ 6 months

Well, Peyton is 6 months now! Half a year, wow how fast time flies! He is getting really big and doing new things all the time. He is starting to sit up on his own now and he is rolling over both from stomach to back and back to stomach. He moves around all over the floor now and acts like he wants to crawl already! That is scary, mom is not ready for that yet! He is losing a lot of his dark hair :( He is taking baths in the big tub now with his brother. He still wants nothing to do with solid foods which is strange for a six month old but he is a really happy baby and such a blessing to us! Here are some recent pictures of him:






Tigers Game

I was able to tag along last minute to a Detroit Tigers game the other night. It was alot of fun. We had a packed vehicle as we had Dad, Mom, Uncle Neil, Janelle, Bethany, Valerie, Lara and myself (Leah). The weather was beautiful for a ballgame and they won 9 to 3!!

Here are some pics!
