Michigan again...

Well, we have made it back from our 2nd trip and wedding to Michigan. It was great being back and even Greg and I got some time together. It was great.

Mari and Bogey hanging out. They make pretty good friends, she tends to enjoy him a bit more than he does her.

So before we left, I was cleaning the house and getting everything in order. Needless to say I forgot that Mari has learned how to open up cans. Like in this case an empty fruit punch gatorade can. Empty, but still a little bit of powder left. Of course she was quiet and then it hit me. So this is what I got. Oh well, my fault, I can't set them on the floor to wait for the trash to go out anymore. It was cute and she didn't get to hyper.


At our friends Ward and Marin's wedding, who live out in Breck as well. Look at that amazing cake. It was beautiful and delicious.

Grandma, Greg, and Mari at the wedding. Grandpa and Grandma Nienhouse watched Mari so Greg and I could enjoy the reception.

Greg and I have always talked about an eventual move to Michigan (where he is from). So now with a family the talk has become more serious. We went and looked at a neighborhood that is new and is right up our alley. This is one of the homes we looked at. No idea when this will all fall in place, in God's time is all we know so far.

While enjoying the beach Daddy took his baby girl on her first cruise on the seadoo. She really enjoyed it.



But lounging in the lake was much more enjoyable.

She just floated around and soaked up some rays.


Mari and her Auntie Morgan. We love you!!

Michigan

Holy Cow! We have a very busy July, but a great one. We were in Michigan for Greg's brothers wedding. It was a great time with family and warm weather. Then next week we are back in Michigan for a friends wedding. We are excited to get back and lay on the beach more.

Part of our busy July consists of a munchkin who has went from zero to 60 in no time. She is crawling all over, pulling up on anything and everything. And now she has learned to climb the steps and thinks she can go full boar. It is cute and fun to watch her progress so quickly, but there are lots of bumps and bruises.

I know what a GROSS picture, but they had a pig roast at the rehearsal dinner. The food was so good, but I could have done without this part. We played corn hole and and enjoyed time with all the family.

Aunt Morgan finally got to meet her niece. She was so good with her and we can't wait to see her again.

Aunt Emily and Christian were visiting from Colorado as well.


Our sweet family.

The happy couple. It was a beautiful wedding.

The Nienhouse men and Mari.

Tired out from all the excitement.

Hanging at the beach with Turbo the Jack Russell. She didn't mind the sand until she put it in her mouth.


1st boat ride

She liked the boat, but not the life jacket.
