Fun in the sun!

We had a fun weekend at the cottage. Adam Burkholder came up and helped Matt and his dad with some of the cottage renovations and I got to play with the kids in the lake.

Ava sporting her itsy-bitsy teeny weeny pink polka dot bikini.

Jack and Jackson had a great time. They are too funny together! They enjoyed making mud pies, jumping in the water off the dock, and seeing who could collect the most acorns. We'll have to hang out again soon!

The Kammer Cottage

We had a great weekend up at the Kammer's cottage in Cheboygan. We enjoyed playing in the water, going for boat rides, roasting smores, and relaxing. On Sunday we even ran up to Mackinaw City for lunch.

Jack and Matt took a little time after lunch to throw rocks into the lake.

Vayla and Jack got along great. Jack cried on the way
home because he wanted to see Vayla again.

The Daddy's and their baby girls.

Thanks again to Adam and Steph for a wonderful weekend!

Fourth of July

This year we celebrated the Fourth up at the cottage with many friends and family. I had so much fun that I actually forgot to get the camera out most of the time. I did manage to get a few shots of Jack and Ava, ...before they were covered with bug bites. I also did get a few shots of Kari and Matt Saganski with their son Lucas. We had a blast, Jack stayed up until 11 just to see the fireworks. He said they were loud, but he liked them. Matt and Uncle Ken went skiing and Tom and Andy went wakeboarding. Jack went tubing with Uncle Mike and on the jet ski with his dad. We'll need to go back up soon. Thanks to everyone that made it up, you're all welcome back anytime!

Summer Fun

I finally got Jack's pool out and he played in it all day. Ava had fun watching her big bro. Before we know it she'll be right next to him splishing and splashing.

Cutie Pie

Just a few cute shots I took of Ava. I love when she laughs!

Two Peas in a Pod

Just a cute picture of Jack and Ava cuddling after we got back from the cottage.

Fun at the Beach

Do you think that someone is teething?

We spent the afternoon celebrating our cousin Katy's Birthday at the EGR Yacht Club. As you can see Jack loves hanging out with his cousins.

Chuck E Cheese

We had so much fun with everyone at Chuck E Cheese. Thanks to all of you that came to help celebrate Jack's birthday. He had a blast and keeps asking if we can go back soon.

Happy Birthday Jack!

It's hard to believe that our sweet little boy is 3! Where did all of the time go? We spent Jack's birthday at home eating his favorite dinner of chicken nuggets and mashed potatoes and gravy. Ama, Uncle Mike, and Courtney stopped over to wish him a happy birthday and also brought some exciting presents.

Jack Star

We love these shots of Jack trying to be like Uncle Tom.
He keeps asking if he looks cool in his sunglasses and wrist band.
He's definitely a Matlosz!

Ava's Baptism

We enjoyed celebrating Ava's baptism on Mother's day.
The first picture is our little angel in her dress.

Uncle Tom and Cousin Sara are her God parents.

Feeling like herself...

Alice was excited to go and get her hair done and go tanning.

Ava sleeping

Jack: bath time

Jack was being so funny in the tub I just had to get a couple of pictures. He is adjusting to having a new sister.

Rock Star?

We got Matt a Wii for his birthday along with Guitar Hero. Here is Tommy rocking out on GH3.

Home bound!

Here is Ava on her way home from the hospital.

Day two

Here we are on day two. Did we mention that we are borrowing Melissa Burkholder's back up professional camera. Matt has been going crazy with the camera, he thinks he knows what he is doing.

A new addition to our family

Ava Angeline was born on Wednesday February 27th at 3:02 pm. She weighed in at 7 lbs 2 oz and was 19 inches long. Mom and daughter are home now doing great!

Give me the good stuff!!

Alice was very excited that she was able to get an epidural this time around!

Big-brother-to-be looking so cute. Jack is very excited to meet his new sister.
