let's get right to it: mini header style.
little girls point, michigan: last weekend we went to 'the point' to camp with matt's family. there was a crew of about 25 of us there. matt's grandparents rented a lodge there and we had three days of good food, good times, and mosquitos. i will post all about this later, but i promised myself i can't proof these pictures until i get all the rest of my proofing done. so, stay tuned for more on this. oh, and by going to 'the point', i knocked another thing off the list (number twenty-two)! whoohoo! i do hope we go back every year - it is beautiful there!
tucker: he has been binkie free for over two weeks. i think it is safe to say that relationship is over. as tucker would say, 'oh yeah baaybee'. sunday night he said his longest sentance yet (that had all the right words). we were wrestling on the couch and i was above him when he looked up and said, 'mama, i see a boogie up in derr' (which btw - i didn't). it just cracked me up! he has been such a card lately. every time we are outside, he picks me flowers - even if they are just dead dandilions. he says they're 'beuuutiful' and i think so too. god, i just love that kid. however, i think that he's dealing with allergies. how do you know if it is just a cold or allergies? he's been sneezing quite a bit and his nose runs. that's it. allergies? both matt and i are dealing with our allergies right now so i'm assuming he got lucky and has them too.
help a girl out: my friend jenn is looking for fundraiser ideas. go check out her post where she explains what she's up to and why she is trying to raise money.
photography workshop: i'm hoping i can get caught up on my assignments soon and share them with all of you! i finally got my 'reflector' (aka a piece of white foam board) so we'll see how that works!
dinner @ cove: on tuesday night, tucker took his ladies (jenn, auntie tina and his mama) out to dinner @ cove. it was delish. i had the pasta lucca and tucker had chicken strips and fries. after dinner we shared a hot fudge sundae. mmmgood.
blog slacker: i haven't been writing or commenting as much. it's summer in minnesota. 'nuff said.
pay it forward: i've been thinking about some pay it forward projects lately. this contest could be the start of something really cool here on stickyfethers. i'd love to pay it forward MORE! be sure to enter my contest. you could win something really cool like a giftcard to heaven target, or some fun summery gadgets and whooha's, or a five pound bag of gummy worms...you just never know what i might come up with.
fourth of july weekend: this weekend we have a couple family get together's we will be attending. it should be a blast. friday i'm also doing a little maternity photo shoot with my cousin and his wife. yey! i hope everyone has a safe and spectacular weekend!
thoughts for thursday: i'm going to keep things light today. who wants to think when there is a long july weekend ahead of us? so, i have just a few fun questions for you to answer. one) what is your favorite summer treat? mine is watermelon - it screams summer to me. two) do you wear sunscreen? i do on my face, but that's it. oh, and i guess it's on my hands from rubbing it all over my little dude. three) how many marshmallows do you put on your smore? two for me...nice and golden brown.
post complete: a little reading material for your long weekend. have a great one!
1) I agree with you on the watermelon...otherwise i'd have to say brats over the open flame
2) Sorry, i'm bad and don't put any on. i know i'm supposed to even though i'm blessed with the tanning gene (otherwise known as mexican)
3) I'm a one-marshmellow man myself...we just had some yesterday, but had to do it in the microwave (boooooo)

I love little girls point. I used to live in Hurley, so we'd go all the time. Did you look for agates?
My fav summertime food, corn on the cob or watermelon.
Sunblock? Big yes, I am so fair skinned, but remembering this before I start to feel the burn is the problem. I have gotten a lot better.
Marshmellows? Toasty brown w/ a hint of burnt spots.

Summer treat. I love Jello infused cake with Whipped Cream and strawberries.
Hope you have a fantastic weekend!

Summer treat: sonic blast or watermelon. Yum!
Sunblock: yes, my lotion has sunblock in it
Marshmellows: only a 1/2 of one...I don't like them at all, but I'll only eat them with smores! I'm weird!

Summer Treat! Strawberries,raspberries,blueberries!!
My everyday face lotion has SPF 15 in it-so I wear that everyday..and If I plan to be in the sun all day I will put some on my shoulders.
Smores! 1 marshmellow-toasted golden brown--good alternative to the grahm cracker and chocolate..use 2 "fudge stripped cookies" and put the marshmellow in between.less mess

Treat : Watermelon slice...big honkin' slices!
Sunblock : At the beach or when I know I won't have the option of shade.
Smores : One marsh nice and gooey...not blackened, though...I can't eat it if it has even a hint of black. I'm weird like that.
Sounds like you guys are busy having lots of fun. Can't wait to see pictures!

fave summer treat: fresh rasperries, fudgesicles
sunscreen: I don't wear it like I should... only at the lake/pool and only on my face and upper chest where I usually burn.
s'mores: one marshmallow... golden brown. no black burnt crap for me!
have a great weekend jenny!!

Yeah Tucker! I am on Day #3 of Operation No More Binkie with both kids, and am pleasantly surprized by how well it is going. Cooper has asked for it once or twice, and since she isn't a talker, Maren hasn't asked for it once! One more step to becoming big kids!
I am with Mary on fruit in the summertime - especially strawberries and raspberries. I am with you on sunscreen - just on my face, and I am a two marshmellow gal! Have a safe and wonderful 4th!
Posted by: Nicole | 2008.07.03 at 13:11
what is your favorite summer treat? big, juicy raspberries... yum!
do you wear sunscreen? yep, i wear it on my face every day (even in winter) and i try to remember to put it on the rest of me in the summer. :)
how many marshmallows do you put on your smore? just one.
Posted by: kim | 2008.07.03 at 11:35
Summer treat, hmmmm........the fruit. I love the fruits that are best during the summer: blueberries, strawberries, watermeloon, cantaloupe. I'm awful with sunblock. When I put in on, I cover everything. I'm a one marshmellow girl :)
Good Luck with your maternity shoot! I can't wait to see pics!
Happy 4th :)

MINE FAV SUMM TREAT IS PINEAPPLE. IT SCREAMS PINA COLADA TO ME.
I WEAR SUNBLOCK ON MY FACE AND SHOLDERS
I PUT ONE MARSHMELLOW PERFECTLY GOLDEN BROWN (TAKES LIKE 5 MINUTES TO COOK PERFECTLY)
