Ready to go! Ready to pass out! Ready to EAT!

 

Tigers ... Tigers... and more Tigers - so happy we got to see the playoff game 4 sweep! Not so lucky with World Series :-(

September...

The joys of 39... eat your homemade, sister - delivered birthday cake pops to your office and enjoy every bite! (Share if you want ;)

Cooper waiting for his when I went to pick him up after work; he was throwing the football outside on a beautiful fall day...

Jason's annual golf trip - they've been buddies for so long I think they're actually starting to look like each other!!

August...

Play break - a little school shopping at the Village in Rochester Hills...

Ethan getting checked out after a hard hit in the first game of the season

(end of August).

Thankfully nothing came of this ER trip!

July...

Watch out - E got his driver's license!

Our family vacation in Boyne Falls was GREAT -- 

Wonderful family time in a beautiful, spacious condo!

And the end result of our fun-filled days...

A fun amazingly beautiful day at Deer Lake. Kids played in the sand all afternoon...

 A beautiful evening in Charlevoix - ice cream, boat parade & fireworks - all AWESOME!

Pote Family Reunion (at Uncle Jim's)

Kids have LOTS to do there! Coop wasn't so sure about the Gator ride, Liv LOVES riding their mule, Molly, and E got to play football in an open field with Uncle Steve

I believe this Cars cake was the only thing Cooper wanted for his 3rd birthday - he was very excited about it! We celebrated with Grandma and Grandpa Pote this year.

June...

 Jason's landscaping results - A beautiful job on this summer project!

Above: Olivia's last t-ball game, just so happened to be her 6th birthday! (June 7th)

 She celebrated with about 10 friends and cousins at the house!
The boys below (Ethan, Spencer & Eli) had fun filling water balloons - and getting wet themselves!

Riding one of the million modes of transportation in San Francisco - loved it! (thanks for navigating Mell & Bee)

Jamee & I... China Town - San Francisco

 Bee & I... Eating at Bubba Gumps in downtown Fisherman's Wharf

 Mell & I... race day! Beautiful scenery along the way.

Cityscape of San Francisco - very cool spot!!

My Mother's Day - Coldstone!!

Cooper helping Ethan with his bat bag - he can't wait to have his own, practicing catching and hitting everyday!

 Ethan vaguely smiling... (at his sister who took this "artsy" photo), refueling with his favorite beverage (milk, luckily :)  And below - him pitching. He's excited he gets to finish the season with Varsity - Rah Rah Ethan!

 Liv at a Tiger's game above and playing T-ball below. I think she prefers playing over watching...
