St Joaeph Michigan with Mommy

Erin and I went up to St. Joseph Michigan together.  We decided to make it a beach day and go to Silver Beach however on our way up to St Joe it started raining and storming. We made a slight detour and went to the Curious Kids Museum.  Erin visited each exhibit at least twice.  It took us about two hours to go through it!

Mary Jane and Chris's Wedding

Mary Jane and Chris got married on July 9, 2011. We were all very busy getting ready and putting it all together. Erin was the flower girl/princess/horsie (if you asked her, depending on the day, she would tell you she was going to be a princess or a horsie.  Ryan was in the wedding as a groomsman and I was the wedding planner.

Fourth of July Weekend

We spent the weekend up at the Kestermeier's lake house.  Erin had a blast swimming, playing in the "sandbox" (on the beach) and "going tubing" (riding in the boat while the adults went tubing.)

Fishing on a Boat!

We went fishing with Jason and Amanda in early July.  We got to try out their new fishing boat. We had a fun time and it was a beautiful day!
