'09 summer rewind

Really...it's September already? I am trying to consciously stop to smell the roses on a daily basis yet the time still gets away from me. Below are some pics of August/early Sept. happenings with the munchkins.

Here we have me doing one of my photo shoots on the front lawn. I like to pretend that I have a good camera and that I know how to take cool pics. I know, dream on. Anyway, I thought this one of Linc kissing Cass turned out kinda cute.

Next up is Linc riding his Radio Flyer bike. Like any kid, he loves going on bike rides. We're still at the point where we walk while he rides but it won't be long before we'll need to get our bikes in working order so that we can ride along with our little speed demon. Well, ok, he's really not a speed demon. He's more of a "let's stop and watch the lawnmower/dog/person/bird/airplane kind of bike rider".

And where do we ride bikes you may ask? To the playground, of course, so we can play on the green climber! The climber that everyone spent tons of $$ on for his birthday isn't good enough because it's just in our backyard - booring. It's so much better when it's at the park/old school in our neighborhood. Below are some playground pics.

Cassie can't get enough of being on a swing. It makes her so happy.

A favorite summertime activity for us is swimming in Uncle John's pool. Linc took his first swim class this summer and did pretty well. Next summer we'll aim for him to be swimming on par with Michael Phelps. For now, he's doing pretty well with the water wings, well, as long as you don't pressure him to get in the water. He likes to do things on his own terms. Can you say stubborn redhead with a 6/6/06 bday?



Cassie loves the water. Here she is chillin on the deck after being in the pool.

As if we don't spend enough time in the pool at Uncle John's or at the Rec Center, Linc decided it'd be a good idea to run through the sprinklers at our neighbors house...while fully clothed, of course. Good times.

As the summer winds down and fall approaches, we decided that Labor Day weekend would be a good time to head to the cider mill.


These pics crack me up. Why we make our kids stick their heads through these cut-outs is beyond me, but it's funny as heck to me to see those little faces poking through (especially Cassie's since she has no idea what we're making her do!).

And finally, we took a nice walk through Mill Race Village in Northville.
I just love how kids always feel the urge to jump off of steps. Here's Linc in action.
