Back to School Shopping!
I can't believe that it is already time for back to school shopping! Anyway, the two young ones spent the day with grandma and the school goers were off to shop with mama. I don't know what it is, but nothing gets a kids more excited than buying new school supplies (and new shoes, clothes, jackets, etc., etc.,). We had a great time. Buy the time we got to lunch, James was so tired, he fell asleep in the restaurant. I thought he was just tired from his party last night and the shopping, but then later on in the day I felt his head and he had a fever (I thought it was weird that he was so cold in the gap I had to buy a sweatshirt for him), so now James is sick:( Hopefully, it is just a short term thing.

James finally gets his party!
Since we were traveling on James' birthday, we could not have his party on that day. Then all the other nights were busy, so finally today he got to celebrate his birthday. He started off his day with a big birthday breakfast.
The party was in the evening. We started with a little Pin the Candle on the Cupcake and a Pinata.
Then we had food and cake.
Brennen really enjoyed the cake.
Then it was time for present opening!
James got lots of nice presents. New golf clubs from grandma and grandpa, a Nintendo DS from mama and papa, a gun/sheriff set from Skylar (which she picked out all on her own), a mouse and cheese game from Mormor (he had played this earlier in the year and was very excited to see this again!)a viking outfit/sword from the Swedes and some games from his friends.
Trying out the new golf clubs.
Everyone was very excited about the cap gun set. It was a big fight over who would get to shoot off the guns.
Brennen gets smoked out by the cap guns! Turns out Brennen is a ladies man and is being fought over by all the women:)

The Cottage at Lake Michigan
Yes, we are all still here. We have been gone for the past week to our sister in law's summer cottage. This is like my dream summer place, so I was in pure heaven. I will give you a run down on our days. Wake up, breakfast, down to the beach, lunch, down to the beach, dinner, campfire/fireworks at the beach, bedtime for kids/games and drinks for the adults. Repeat. We had soooooooo much fun and the kids never got tired of the beach. We did manage to squeeze in a day of blueberry picking which was a lot of fun! We were all very sad to leave. We had so much fun that this is going to be an annual trip.
The cottage
Lots and lots of beach fun!!
One of the kids' favorite things was the outdoor shower. You come right off the beach and shower off all of the sand before coming into the house. No bath required:)
Firework fun!
Time to pick Blueberries! (In Kellen's case goldberries). Kellen must of eaten a whole bucket of blueberries during the blueberry picking. Matt and I kept filling his bucket, but the level of blueberries never changed.
Skylar and Brennen take a little break!
All the kids had to take a bathroom break in the middle of blurberry picking, so we had to take a small hike into the woods. James came back with a tiny baby frog.
This is how everyone felt by the end of the week!

And he's on all fours!
Brennen has finally managed to get up on all fours to crawl! He has been doing the army crawl for sometime now, but he has now managed to get all the way up. He can really move now and he is pretty proud!
