The Young Family

Snapping turtles and bonfires oh my!

This huge snapping turtle was casually roaming through my brothers backyard the other day. It was so big!!! We kept our distance and now the boys know they need to be careful...we are loving the nature we are finding with having a small wooded area behind our house!

And we also have had a lot of trees and branches to burn so here is one of our big fires that we had. Summer is great for so many reasons!!!

Four boys!

I had my nephews for three days straight last week. They all played so well together. It is great having them so close to us now.

They all just plopped down in our bed for some quiet time.

And of course enjoyed a nice show together on the couch. What good boys they are! Love them all!

Thanks for stopping by!

Bambi

We saw two baby deer hanging out in our backyard the other day. They were between our house and my brothers house. My brother captured this picture on his phone, it's a bit grainy but I still love it. We haven't seen them since but are hoping they will come back so we can get some better pictures.

Owen lost his 3rd tooth!!!

Yesterday,while eating lunch,Owen lost his third tooth. He just started spitting food on the table and kris and I both stared at him with a look of disbelief and said "what are you doing?" He laughed and said "no it's okay, my tooth just came out!" We all had a good laugh at that and told him that was the only time he would ever get away with spitting food out on the table.....EVER!

So he immediately took his tooth to go rinse it off but it slipped out of his hand and right down the drain! He was so devastated. Thankfully kris is a good daddy and came to the rescue to try to find it for him.

And he was successful!!! Look at this boy. Missing three teeth....and all of them fell out within the last three months!

The tooth fairy was good to him again and left $5.....what a lucky boy!!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Detroit Tigers

Tonight my brother and his girlfriend took their kids and heads downtown to watch the Tigers play ball. My brother invited Owen to tag alone! He was so stoked to be invited to hang out with his older cousins and Katie and Christopher. When my brother picked him up he had this jersey for him....what a special night!!
