Logan's 11th birthday celebrated 7/6/2012

Logan's 11th birthday was on 7/2/2012, but we celebrated it with him, Gavin, Mike (his dad) and Jennifer on Friday, 7/6/2012.  Mike brought the cake and ice cream, and Gavin was trying to help him blow out the candles.  Logan plays the guitar and drums, and has always loved music.  I was making him a guitar afghan for his birthday, but didn't get it finished until a week after we celebrated.  I left the afghan with his dad before we left Michigan. 

Time with Kyle, Logan and Gavin July 2012

Had lunch with Kyle, Logan, Gavin and Fred and Sue Scholts (also known as Bebaw and Memaw) at Big Boys Restaurant in Cadillac MI.  The boys really like our new jeep.  Kyle will have his driver's license by the time we see him next year!!  Seems like just yesterday I was worrying about him doing tricks standing on his bicycle seat.  Gavin and Logan went with us to Houghton Lake and we were able to spend lots more time at the pool and playground with them.  They also finally got to ride the little train around the park after swimming in the pool.   The two of them are like fish, they love the water, but everytime they jumped in doing flips, I just knew they were going to hit their heads on the side of the pool.  Apparently they knew what they were doing, since neither of them got hurt.

Time with Josh and Justin in Michigan

We were able to spend time with Josh (14) and Justin (15) while in Michigan, since they were spending several months this summer with their mom.  They enjoyed the pool and basketball court at the RV park.  We also played mini-golf and took them to G's for pizza and salad one night.  They spent two days and nights with us before we had to take them home.  They think the new motor home and jeep are pretty cool rides.  We had just seen them at Christmas, but it waas amazing to see they are getting so tall.  Josh is six foot and Justin is just a few inches shorter.  We always told Justin his "little" brother would be bigger than him some day!Justin is on the left and Josh on the right in picture below.
