Never too young

Yesterday we were unloading some wood and stacking it under the deck and Calleigh kept saying "Help Mommy" and "Help Daddy."  She's been doing this a lot lately and loves it when we call her a good little helper.  We figured we'd better take advantage now since it probably won't last very long. 


 A fist bump for Daddy.

Lewiston

The last stop on our trip up north was to visit Russ's grandparents in Lewiston.

Calleigh having her first s'more.

 It ended up being a "community s'more."


Mackinac Island

From Houghton Lake, we went up to Mackinac Island for a night.  




 This house is named "Webster Cottage."  We were wishing it was ours.










Weiderman Weekend 2011

Weiderman Weekend was in Houghton Lake this year.  We stayed at a resort right on the lake.  Of course, it rained off and on all day Saturday and was cool so we didn't get a chance to really take advantage of the lake.  It was fun to see many of the '09 babies together again.  They're much more mobile than last year!

Chloe was Calleigh's buddy.  She had lots of fun playing with her over the weekend.
 
Lots of fun on the swings.

 We had our annual Weiderman Weekend trophy competition.  Here are the winners for this year.

Due to rain, the rest of the competition had to be moved indoors.  Looks like the kiddies are whooped.

Kansas City...We're Back!

At the beginning of August, we went to Kansas City for a visit.  It was Calleigh's first time flying and she did pretty well.  Thank goodness we could play Dora videos in Russ's laptop!  It was a short trip and Russ had to work but we had fun seeing some old friends and it was nice to be back in KC.
