Door County {Part 2}

For dinner on Friday night, it was a requirement that we found a place with a great Fish Fry. After all, we are in Wisconsin. Sister Bay has a bowling alley (weird, I know) that we were told has the best fish fry, turns out the rumors were true. Before dinner we did a little wandering in downtown Sister Bay.

Family Photo. Please note, Blake did not look at the camera once all weekend for family photos. Oh well!

 

Looking at the boats

 

Walking is so much fun!

 

The next day we hit up this winery and store. Blake was sleeping in the car (my mom watched him) and we went to do some wine tasting

Door County {Part 1}

 

We took a long weekend and headed up north with the Unti crew to Door County. It was the perfect little getaway. Blake was super good the entire time (except for the early morning wakeups and teething on Sunday).

 

When we arrived it was cooler and rainy so naturally we headed to the indoor pool for some fun. Blake is getting really good at the doggy paddle and jumping in from the side.

 

Blake was obsessed with pushing his stroller in the hallway. No joke my Dad probably did this with him for hours over the weekend.

After sightseeing, lunch and shopping we hit the pool back up before dinner.

 

Blake is starting to understand the concept of "relaxing"

 

 

Come back, as I will have more pictures of our trip during the week.

Little Boy not a Baby

When did this happen? When did my baby boy become a little boy? He is getting so big and it is amazing to watch him learn and develop but next month I am going to have a 1 year old. Time goes by too fast. Here is a glimpse of him this morning. It is picture day at school, fingers crossed the outfit stays clean long enough for the picture. 

Swinging

We are loving this awesome weather. Fresh air does wonders!

Lyla Ann

On August 26th, my cousin Kassy welcomed her baby girl, Lyla Ann. Blake was the first great grandchild on the Unti side and now Lyla is here to share in the fun. Now we have a boy and girl to spoil and share photos of. We can't wait to meet her in person.

My Michigan Family {Part 2}

On Sunday we threw a little party so that all of the Illinois crew could come see Melanie, Ryan and Maddie. My parents were nice enough to host.

What a difference a year makes! This time last year we were at my baby shower

My Michigan Family {Part 1}

This past weekend, the Ramsayer clan (Melanie, Ryan and Maddie) came to visit. Since they live in Michigan we don't get to see them too often. The last time we hung out we both had babies that stayed in one spot, this time, not so much. It is really fun to see how similar their personalities are. Maddie literally has no fear and gets right in the mix with Blake. 

Playing in the kitchen

Swing Time! 

Blake thinks he is bigger than he is. 

Blake LOVES his fort (aka his box)

Maddie got exhausted from playing with the shovel and measuring cups

Stroller Time

On the fishing dock. Blake wanted to dive into the water and Maddie was trying to keep up and chase him
