Summer Fun

We've had a great summer so far although it's going by too quickly!! Here's a lil' roundup of some good times we've had so far:

Petoskey Soccer Tournament:

We've been going up to Petoskey for the past 8 years for an annual soccer tournament. We always enjoy our time up in beautiful northern Michigan and this year was no exception! It was, however, a bit more challenging than years past as staying in a small hotel room with an active 18 month old who doesn't sleep well away from home wasn't ideal. On top of that, most of Tim's games were later at night or during Teagan's nap time so she and I were only able to watch a couple of games (only one of which Tim actually played since he hurt his leg and sat out the last game). Nonetheless, we made the most of it and created some fun memories as a family. I think in the future, Tim and I will enjoy this weekend, kid-free....at least until the kids are at the age where they can participate and hold more interest in it all.

Teagan enjoyed cheering Daddy's team on! Now whenever she sees someone running, she yells,"Go...Go!" :)

Much to her Daddy's delight, Teagan is actually pretty good at kicking a ball already. She can also differentiate between a soccer ball and other balls and will say "soccer" (although others may not recognize that this is what she is saying...we're getting pretty good at understanding her language). :)

We had a great time celebrating Father's Day while up there. Here, Tim is opening the gift that Teagan made for him. I'm so grateful for what an INCREDIBLE Daddy that Tim is to Teagan!

Tim's Father's Day gift from Teagan (a stone plaque with her handprint in it as well as some things she collected in our backyard). :)

I love my lil' sweetie pateetie!

Boating:

We've enjoyed going out on our boat....ONLY ONE TIME....so far this summer. Pretty sad, eh? Goes to show just another way that having a lil' one changes your life! :) Teagan loves to be outside and enjoys being on the boat but admittedly, it's not very relaxing to take her with us because she's not one to sit still and keeping her from not falling or climbing out of the boat is exhausting! Besides that, we just don't have the same kind of "free" time that we had before. Nonetheless, we did enjoy this one outing and hope to at least make it out at least one more time before summer is over!

She loves to yell, "Wheee!"
Classic. If this picture had sound, you'd most likely hear her singing the "clean-up song." Most of the time, she does seem to have a knack for helping pick up or wash things and always accompanies her tasks with her version of the song: "mean up, mean up!" :)


STAY TUNED....more Summer Fun pics will be posted soon!
