Summer fun photos...

Bugs find Brody just as sweet as I do... too bad that don't agree with him. Here he is with a mosquito bite on his right eye. Remember this one from last summer?


This is the closest beach to our house. It's Beulah Beach on Crystal Lake. When I was growing up, the closest lake was Lake Lansing and it was frequently closed due to e-coli. These boys of mine sure have it good... lucky dogs!
It even has playground equipment, which Brody preferred to the beach.
We've hung out a few times on Grandma & Grandpa's new boat. The water has been so warm this year! Ahhhhh, summer! Here is Brody who tolerates his life jacket really well this year.
Noah and Jacob are great little swimmers:
Brody likes to supervise. And drop things in the water.
Oh, and you can always count on Brody taking a long nap on the way back to the dock.
While I was feeding Austin, Jacob came and told me that Brody drew a "map of Michigan" on the wall. Notice his drawings behind them. Thank you Magic Eraser!
Austin hanging out:
Jacob down at the parents beach. It's crazy how much the beach changes each year. Last year there were quite a few plants and weeds on the beach but a sandy bottom in the lake. This year, the plants/weeds are mostly cleared from the beach but the water is a little rocky.
The boys taking a stroll down at Grandma's beach:
Brody likes to "Bull-Doze" with his head.
Aaaaaaaand this is the end result:
Roxy acting wild in the grass:
Austin on the beach - can you see his tooth? He has 2 on the bottom now!
The boys love taking bike rides. Jacob is doing great at riding his own, but he needs a bigger bike.
Saturday a few girls from a message board that I belong to were in town so Jacob and I met them for some bowling (forgot the camera). After bowling I switched out kids and took Brody and Austin to Sarah's cabin to play. Here is a group shot of all the kiddos:
You gotta be quick with Brody or else you will end up with a photo like this:
While the younger boys and I visited at Sarah's cabin, Jacob and Aaron went fishing. Jacob caught this 18" small mouth bass all by himself. He even picked out his own bait, the only thing Aaron did was net the smallie!
I think Aaron was hiding in this photo because he was embarrassed his son has already out-fished him at the age of 4. Yes, that much larger fish on the right was Jacobs.
Also note Jacob's shirt... Martin got a top ten finish this week! Woot, Woot!! Martin and Sherry fly in on Sunday to visit for another couple of days. We are hoping for an awesome finish and no rain delays in this Sunday's race so that Jacob and I can greet them at the airport and check out their plane again.
