What a Weekend!

We had a fantastic weekend!
Here are a bunch of shots from all the fun!

We started out the weekend with the second half of our Water 2 Wine experience! The wine that we mixed for Mark's Dad's 60th birthday was ready and we enjoyed a night together bottling and labeling it!

Check out the finished product! Fietsen- a Dutch Cabernet. We created the wine in honor of Bruce so we worked together to design a label to represent him! Fietsen means bicycle in Dutch. So Cara took a picture of Bruce's bike in front of his tulips! He loves biking and gardening so the label fits him perfectly!

At the end of the night Nolan, Heath, and Opa checked out the stars and looked for "Mr. Moon"!

It's been hot here so we decided to blow up Nolan's pool to cool off this weekend!

Can't get enough of his smile! He must be so happy because he's sportin' his Bears shirt from Uncle T.!

Baby Heath and Baby Ella- isn't it crazy how much they grow in just 6 months?!

Payton turned 6 and celebrated with a pool party! She wanted a Monarch butterfly birthday cake- so Cara made just that! It turned out great!

Nolan and Daddy riding the turtle at "Baby Inge's pool"! Inge is Wes' grandma and for some reason Nolan thinks it's hilarious to call her by that endearing term!

We went up to the Bosch family cabin for Memorial Day! Nolan would have stayed put in the sandbox all day if I let him! He played with the cars, tractors, and animals! He makes them all talk and have conversations, he does sound effects, and creates a little make believe world! It's so funny to listen to!

Heath enjoyed swinging with Annie- Oma Bosch's caretaker!

Nolan and his cousin- as he likes to call him these days- "Brady Michael Syers"! It's so fun for them to be able to grow up together!

Heath liked hanging out in this little play seat that they have up at the cabin! He always wants to be a part of the action!

Nolan would only ride in the tractor trailer if Daddy rode with him!

Cousin Addie and Nolan have become fast friends! They play together so nicely, have quite the imaginations, and jabber back and forth constantly! They loved hanging out in the sandbox, wandering off, and looking for animals! They saw a "big big Zebra" and "Alex" from Madagascar out in the trees!

Our big guy had a blast exploring the land!
