my sometimes perfect angel

we made the house a mess this last weekend. both of us. emmit and I did. he threw a tantrum because I wouldn't help him clean up his mess- I was cleaning my own mess. his excuse was I'M TIRED! so I said EITHER GO UPSTAIRS AND TAKE A NAP OR CLEAN YOUR ROOM. went upstairs to find this... FF to after nap and I went up again to wake him and... He is upstairs cleaning his room on his own!!! still shocked. I love him SO much!

and so it begins

our bank account will never be the same

iron river, mi












we went up to uncle greg and aunt diane's cabin up in the U.P. last weekend for a long weekend. it's about a 6.5 hr drive from chicago. we did a lot of hanging out and it was GREAT! there were 4 adults, 1 kid and 4 dogs- a full house. or cabin. surprisingly, everyone behaved themselves. we even brought home our dog, which we thought for sure, would loose him in the wilderness. these photos are all unedited. I would love to edit them, but I'm just lucky to have them. micah is working on my iphoto and... let's just leave it at that :)




























titus falls off the boat

... for the second time. his front feet were on the boat, his back feet on the pier. ker-plunk!  the first time titus fell off the boat, he went out fishing with uncle greg and micah. he was "chasing" the waves and fell into 8 feet of water. guess who doesn't know how to swim? micah managed to pull him back onto the boat. now, guess who wasn't allowed on the bass boat anymore?

boy did lots of fishing












rides on the ATV, pregnant and all
