Fall boat ride with Tica

I love thisboat dog!  Aaron and I both had Friday off so we hit Long Lake with the pup for a few casts.

School Pics!

Fall evening at Shalda Creek

The boys saw a salmon in the river, a bald eagle overheard snd found many Petoskey stones!  Total pure Michigan night.

Autumn Classic Part 1

Brody's 2016 Baseball Season

It was so much fun watching Brody really get into the game this year!  Last year he was mostly on the team for the snacks, but this year he worked really hard and even got a little down when he missed a catch or had a hard time at bat.  Keeping score was a little tricky for him and at one point during a strong inning, he announced "Mom, We're CRUSHING them!!" despite the other team being up by at least 10 :)  But, it WAS a great inning.  We are very proud of his hard work and progress.  

Austin was able to bump up from his T-Ball team to join Brody's coach pitch team for the last game or two and the tournament.  He was VERY excited and did a great job.  He's got a great arm on him and it will be fun to watch him grow in the sport.  

The Team after the tournament:

The last game was in Frankfort, so why not go catch the sunset after the game?

Love this kid.

These two are pretty awesome, too.

Otter Creek

We made our way to Otter Creek with the Ratajczak and Hughes family to enjoy the sunset!  It was a beautiful, hot evening!!
