A little video of Oliver climbing into the Kitchen...

Waffle Farms!

Last weekend Jason, Odie and I traveled to Coldwater to meet Grandma and Grandpa Feazel for a camping weekend at Waffle Farms. It's one of my favorite spots, so far...

Here's a view from our campsite:

Of course, Coldwater is just a few minutes away from Allen...one of our favorite antique places...but that was just a perk... :)

It was a chilly weekend, but we enjoyed the cool weather.

Here's Odie eating dinner and fighting with his sippy cup...we all had a great time laughing at his trial and error approach!!

World's Smallest KOA....

This past weekend, the Garrett Family met up with the Golab Family for a fun-filled weekend at the Holly KOA.

Now, we picked this park because it was designated a "Fun Park"....but it was the size of my back yard....okay not that small, but close!

Regardless, we all had a great time! It was the hottest weekend of the year so far, so we spent lots of time at the pool and in the shade!

The Golabs!

Hi!

Bike Ride!!

Another kind of bike ride!

A whole playroom, just for us???

Sleepy Hollow State Park!

So, another camping weekend for the Garrett family! On the 7th we went to Sleepy Hollow State Park so we could be close to the Golab's for Beckham's 1st Birthday!

When we got there, Grandma and Grandpa Feazel had a surprise! Odie got his own push car!!

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Feazel and Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa Young!!!

Odie just loves his car!

After about 5 minutes behind the bike....

On Saturday, we went to the Golab's for Beckham's Big Day! It was raining cats and dogs all morning, but the sun came out for the party. Odie got pretty sick on the way over, but other than that, we all had a great time!

Our first REAL camping trip!

Last weekend was our first camping trip! We went to Allendale, MI with our friends Scott, Becky and Madison. We spent the weekend hanging out, and on Saturday morning, Becky and I met her sister Jill to go to the Holland Art Fair...which was pretty nice, BTW.

There was a HUGE playground that Maddie loved, and we were really excited about the pool with the big slide....until we got there and it was FREEZING!!

It did rain for much of Saturday, but we all still had a great time! Oliver just adores Maddie and they had great fun!!

Let's PARTY! Grandma and Grandpa Young's 50th Anniversary!

The Happy Couple!!!

Last weekend was another busy one! We went up to Grandma and Grandpa's Thursday night after work to get ready for the big shindig! Along with the usual players, my cousins Sara, Blake and the kids, as well as my Aunt Lori and Uncle Jim came up on Friday...and then my other cousins Greg and Ashlee came up on Saturday. Along with Shelly's friends Gina and Nancy...we had a full house!

View from the road!

We had a great time hanging out between cleaning up and decorating the hall. The weather wasn't the best, but we enjoyed ourselves anyways!

Another Busy Weekend Indeed!

It was another busy weekend for the Garrett Family! Saundra, Adam and Evan came home to visit! The kids had a great time playing!


We went to the balloon jubilee on Friday, but unfortunately, the weather was not cooperating, so after a couple of bounces and a pony ride for Evan, we were on our way.


On Saturday we were all over at Terry and Linda's (Grandpa and Grandma Garrett) for a cook-out with Jason's cousins: Sue, Vin and the kids Bella and Allie; as well as Uncle Bob and Aunt Bettie.


We also got to see a few friends, Ericka and Jason and their little babe, Keegan, who's just 2 months younger than Oliver.


Allie and Bella (thanks to Sue!) had a neat little face painting kit...so us girls all got cute pictures on our hands and Jason...well....



As for Oliver, he's doing great! He's been army crawling and rolling around the living room...I found him eating a dead ant on Sunday...something I am CONVINCED he learned from his cousin Evan...ha ha ha...He also is eating many solid foods like macaroni and cheese and green bean tidbits, which is great since he hated the baby food version of them.


We have a busy summer ahead, so I'm sure you'll see lots more pictures! Next we're getting ready for the big 50th Anniversary party for my Grandparents up north in Irons this Saturday. I can't wait until we have it decorated and all set up so we can just party!

A Wonderful 4th of July!

Our vacation started off with a wonderful visit from Blake, Sara, Alexis and Beckham. We had a wonderful time hanging out and eating pizza. Odie has dubbed Alexis the "Texas Tornado"! She managed to get Oliver's rocking chair out of the corner of his room and into the family room without hitting anything and without anyone noticing...he he...Sara and Blake definitely have their work cut out for them!

Cousin Beckham....having fun in Odie's Rocking Chair (thanks to Lexi who brought it out!)

Our Little Texas Tornado...Cousin Lexi!

Oliver's first 4th of July went off with a bang...literally...even though he slept through most of the fireworks...he he. He tried really hard to stay awake, but sleep won!

We spent our time playing in the lake and taking all of Grandma Young's money playing cards :)

This weekend, Odie has decided that he likes hard foods like puffs and yogurt melts. We also cut out a bottle, so he's eating around 12 oz of food a day now too. He's also semi-crawled a few times...so it's definitely time to buy the baby gate :)

I have a million pics on Snapfish, but here are just a few of our wonderful weekend...

Us in our bathing suits just out of the lake!

Grandpa's orange hat sure is funny!!


Yay! Water!


Taking a bath in my awesome camper!!
