I'm a terrible mom and I've barely gotten through the photos taken at Eliana's 2nd birthday. ANYWAY, This is a photo of the big girl next to the cake I made for her. Sorry for the poor quality. The cake had 3 layers and the top layer was a little purse. :) She loved it!

(so much for "wordless")

When I was staying in Mackinaw City over Labor Day weekend, my sister-in-law, mother-in-law, and I decided to take a girl's trip to the Upper Peninsula for a hike to Tahquamenon Falls. Here is one of many pictures I took there. {from the top of the Upper Falls}

My family and I did a lot over the past weekend. One of my highlights was visiting the butterfly garden on Mackinac Island, MI and making a new friend.

This was the first of 4 butterflies to land on me while I was there. I guess I'm all set in the "good luck" department.

While at the farm the other day, we were visiting with 2 horses when we saw another horse very eager for attention. ;)

Peek-A-Boo!

He got some love and we all laughed to see him stick his head out the window like that. I named him "Mr. Ed."

I was looking at photos from our cider mill trip last year as I've been craving some fall weather. Fall just happens to be my favorite season, you know. I can't believe how much bigger my littles are in just one year and I really can't believe that I'll have one more in that bunch next year. Wowza...

I went "junking" with my mom the other day to collect things for my DIY projects for this home update. Here's a sneak peek of what I found.

Ball jars, a Ball jar soap pump, a window, wood pieces, a stencil, door knobs, an old light fixture, an old dove tail box...

What could I be up to? Hmmmm {The sunflowers are in a Ball jar I found with a unique, wide mouth. Perfect for a vase}

I'll be sharing my projects as I go! Stay tuned! {Still have a few things to buy yet!}

On Saturday, my family headed to a BBQ with friends and had an amazing time. While we were there, a huge thunderstorm swept through and left the sky looking like this.

And while that was cool, the photographer in me was most excited for unique lighting the sky gave for pictures like this.

I hope your weekend was enjoyable as well!

I was just able to purchase a new lens for my Canon DSLR to use at camp this year. I'll be doing photography for a week and it will come in handy for photographing activities like technical tree climbing and the mud walk. *So excited!*

Of course, I have to practice using it right away and enjoyed trying it out on a rainy day. Here are some favorite "rainy day" shots.

This weekend we'll be hanging out with our buddy Thomas again.

When Alex was only 2, he called him "Tessy".

But last year, Alex enjoyed his day even more than the first time. {Yes, he could say "Thomas" by this point. lol}

This year, he's extremely excited to see his buddy again and get his train ride. I'll let you know how it goes!
