Summer 2010

Don't give up on us yet!!

The summer has been busy, but I convinced Mommy she should make a little time for the blog for those of you that are still checking on us!

We had a few cabin trips, a fun party and of course just some regular, relaxing, fun summer stuff!

Our most recent trip was to Lake Osakis with Daddy's family. Since it was our first time at
this lake, we took a little boat ride to check out the lake.

After ALOT of encouragement and some help from Mommy, I made my way to the top of this slide in the lake. The trip down was pretty fun!

The Ryan cousins: Jay, Kaelynn, Lily and Wesley

Bubbles at Papa and Grammy's cabin the end of July.

Jay loved making and chasing bubbles!

Swimming lessons with Aunt Missy:

learning to jump into the water, some floating and kicking too

(very unlike my cousins Jacey and Morgan who have no fear and do this at their own will!)

Yay! I passed!

Snapper taking a rest from chasing ducks

Jay's favorite way to get a ride

doing a little fishing off the dock

a big hug from Aunt Missy on the pontoon

enjoying our hammock...always lots of laughter on this!

What's been keeping us from blogging

Don't worry, we're still here!

we've just had a busy spring!

I had my first gymnastic meet this spring.

I couldn't wait to show everyone what I learned at gymnastics

My #1 fan came with to cheer me on.

the gymnasts showing off their medals.

Ta-Da!

Aunt Missy came with to cheer me on and she was also very proud of my medal.

Then, since Grandma and Grandpa Bremer live so close by to the gymnastic center, we had to stop by and show them my medal too!

We also had a fun wedding to go to this spring. It was Daddy's cousin's wedding so we got to visit with lots of family.

Me and my bud, Avy

Jaybird wasn't feeling to well the day of the wedding (he had a DOUBLE ear infection!), so he stayed home with Aunt Missy and from the looks of it had a good time and got to do all sorts of things Mommy wouldn't let him do.

like take all the videos out of their cases,

eat ham by the slice,

and practice his Evil Kenievel moves on his tractor.

and as usual, every spring time we're busy fixing up the yard and planting. I helped Mommy plant this pretty pot.

We had a little party for Mother's Day at Papa and Grammy's

the crew with Grandpa and Grandma Bremer

Jay and Lexi like to "chit-chat" and grab toys from each other.

and bedtime story from Mommy to end her Mother's Day.

and inbetween everything, we just keep being our silly selves!
