Timbertown,Family Reunion and the Fair

We celebrated my Grandparents 90th Birthday and 70 years of Marriage. They have 23 grand kids and 57 Great Grand kids. We had pictures at their house and then went to Ottawa Reformed Church and had a fabulous lunch catered in by Beechwood Inn with some play time after. each family had a different color.

We took the kids to the fair one night. Wow some things never change. I got to sit and people watch alot since Mike took Logan on rides and played games and I went with Brooklyn and Brinzie as they rode rides. My mom watched Brailee for us which was soo nice..thanks Mom.. My dad said she is a spoiled Brat..apparently she wanted to be held alot...OOPS!!! Probably My bad but they are only little once..right???

I took the kids to Timber Town on Friday to feed the ducks since I had alot of bread and it was a day that we had nothing to do. The geese and the ducks were crazy..They just kept coming in herds when we were feeding them..The geese kept on hissing when you didn't feed them. I was freaking out and Brooklyn said "it's fine Mom." UMM NO its not lets go well Logan said NO I AM FEEDING THE DUCKS!!! So I took Brailee and we watched where their was no ducks or geese.

Logan took this picture of us.

I was tending to Brailee and I turned around and found Logan eating the bread, apparently he was still hungry....

Jesse Concert and Brailee 2 Months

Jesse McCartney came to Berlin to perform. Dad got all of us front row tickets and back stage passes for the kids. They were so excited. They even got to go back stage and meet him, they all thought he was so nice and sooo cute. I felt kind of bad being in the front row and only knowing 2 songs. Jess only knew a couple songs but by the end of the night she bought the CD off I tunes and listens to it non stop..Dad stayed for half of the show and then left. He said he wanted to keep his hearing for a couple more years.. Thank You Dad, we all had a great time!!

Brailee is 2 months already..Where had the time gone..We are enjoying her soo much, she is now smiling and cooing, it is so cute to see. She even rolled over from her belly to back last week. We went to the doctor today and she had 3 shots and did great, she only cried for a little bit. She weighs 11 pounds 11 ounces, she is 23 1/4 inches long and is in the 75th percent for everything. the doctor says she is perfect..but we already knew that...:)

This is the first time we seen Dr. Paul for Brailee. He is my others kids doctor also. We Love him.. He asked me jokingly what I do in my free time..I said vacuum...:) What I Love to do!!

Summer so far is going good, we are busy doing who knows what. Logan is still going to school every day Monday through Thursday half days. Jess still off doing who knows what now that she can drive. She is still working at the cafe on Monday, Thursday and Fridays, so if you are in the area she loves visitors. Brooklyn goes with the flow, she has been playing alot with Lexi, its so nice to have a cousin right up the road and is the same age for her to play with. She went to Camp Geneva with her cousin Brynn and had a great time. She also got braces on which has been going great so far. Mike still continues to be busy with the business, which is great considering our economy. Our race team still continues to do good the last 2 races that he raced he finished 2nd at North Carolina and 4th in Indiana. I am busy with diapers, baths, bottles and the day to day of mother hood. Brailee has been sleeping from 10:00-10:30 till 7:30 the past couple of night so that has been super nice...I hope I don't jinks myself by typing that..She is a very good baby.

Summer Days

Perfect Circle Racing so far has been going great, we won the last 3 races that Brian has raced. Two of them being at Berlin. One of those he raced against Kyle Busch(Nascar racer for those of you who don't care about racing) in the Rowdy Busch 125 where we started 9th, and the other was the ASA race, where we started 6th. It was really cool to win both races at his home track. The other win was at ORP in Indiana, we started 11th and took the lead with 5 laps remaining. The guys have been very happy with the way things have been going. Winning sure does make for a happy Husband...:) This weekend Brian and Crew traveled down to Rockingham North Carolina to race...Kind of nervous, Mike keeps saying this track is very rough and Brian has never been their so it makes me a little nervous..I am sure Mike will be pacing at the cottage on Saturday with the phone to his ear all day. I just got off the phone with Lisa, Brians wife and she told me that Brian took Heathe Fowlers mini van(they borrowed his van for the weekend) around the track last night to get a feel for the track???? Crazy boys!!!

Logan loving his sister, he likes to hold her for about 2 minutes and that is about it. The other day Brailee was laying in her boppie underneath her entertainment center.(I cant think of what that thing is called that they lay on with things that hand from the top???) I walked out of the room to brush my teeth and came back to Logan pushing her out of it because he wanted to go under it..AHHHH SO he had to sit in the naughty chair..It was kind of funny how he explained it to me but he needs to learn, he is kind of sneaky that way.

This is how she sleeps sometimes when she is in a dead sleep...

Brooklyn is still a huge help when she is home. She got braces on last week and so far it has been going great. She said they didn't even hurt.. She is going to Camp Geneva next week. It sure is going to be quiet here with out her, but we will miss her!!!

Brailee loves Summer days by Aunt Deb's pool!!!

Pretty sad Logan knows how to take a picture of himself. Think he's been watching his sisters too much..

Pam's kids, Brooklyn and Brinzie swimming in Aunt Deb's pool. Thank you to Deb for always letting us use you pool when ever we want.

Hope you all have a great 4th of July weekend. I am sure I will post again when we get back from the cottage.
