Summertime Fun!

We've had a great summer!! It has been so busy. Seems like every weekend and during the week we have had so much going on. Here are a few things we've been up to.
The end of July we had the annual Geach/McGill weekend at the cabin. We all had a great time together and Colin found a new love, tubing!! He pretty much went tubing with every combination of adults that weekend.
Colin's big catch!

Gramma and Grampa tubing with Colin.
The end of July we celebrated Gramma Geach's birthday.
On August 1st Daddy ran his first at the Hanover Harvest Festival and did great! We were so proud of him.

Then Colin got to do a kid's Fun Run with his friend Vanessa.


Colin so proud of his medal.

My two runner's. Like Father Like Son.
After the 5K and Fun Run we went with the Brutger's to the parade. Colin and Jackson waiting patiently for the parade to start.
We had a busy day on August 1st, after the parade we headed to celebrate Brian's 1st Birthday (our nephew). Brian turned 1 on August 15th. We had a great day celebrating with him.
A few days late, but Happy 1st Birthday Brian!! We love you and have enjoyed watching you grow this last year and can't wait to see what the future holds for you. We are so blessed to have you as our nephew.

Colin got to go with Daddy and Grampa fishing and caught his first bass. Here he is holding it by the mouth, what a brave boy!! Obviously his daddy's son.
August 7-9th we headed up to Grand Forks to visit Auntie Stacy and Joe. Joe took all of us to a few different farms and Colin was able to sit in several different John Deere tractors and a semi-trucks. He was in heaven!! He hasn't stopped talking about it since. He can't wait until we can go back up and he can go for a ride. Unfortunately the weather was rainy so they couldn't take the tractors out. We had a great weekend with Auntie and Joe and Nanny and Papa.

Can you spot Colin? Colin in front of the Combine, they are huge! You should have seen his eyes when he saw how big it was.

This past weekend we had our friends the Hanson's and the Botten's up to the cabin. The weather wasn't the best, but we all had a great time.
Heather and Carrie feeding the babies. Beckham and Mady are just 10 days apart.

The boys heading out in between rain storms for some fishing (Will, Brady, Dirk, Scott and Colin).

Trouble-- Colin and Brady! They played so well together all weekend.
That's been the last few weeks of summer.
Baby update- this little one continues to be a mover. So very different from Colin. Colin and Scott have both felt the baby move numerous times and Colin just loves to feel the baby move. He keeps asking why we can't take the baby out now. December seems so far away for him. We had our 20 week ultrasound back in July and decided not to find out the sex of the baby. Everything looked great and the baby was on the move during the ultrasound which was so great to see. So far, most everyone thinks it's a girl besides Colin and I, we think it's a boy, so we shall see in December. We are all anxiously awaiting the arrival of this little one.
Enjoy these last few weeks of summer. Let's hope the weather warms up!
