The kiddos

This is how the kids spend most mornings....snuggling on the chair watching toons while I get ready for work. BLake really wasn't in a crabby mood this morning, but it looks like it!
At the cabin....on the pontoon

Time to go Camping!!

We bought our 1st camper this week....so excited to get to use it!! We went with a pop-up since we will be able to pull it with Eric's truck and my van. Woo!! We did buy a mini fridge to put in place of the ice box that it came with, the only thing I would like extra would be a camping potty for extra convenience.

5 Years of Wedded Bliss

5 years ago today, Eric and I were married. We had a beautiful ceremony at the cabin, facing the lake, followed by the best wedding reception ever! We might be bias, but it was a ton of fun! We've had 2 beautiful children that have made "us" a family. Here's to many many more years together (hopefully filled with less appliance issues/house and car disasters).

4th of July 2011

Another 4th of July has come and gone. It was a great one....beautiful weather at the lake! The weekend didn't start off all that easy....Eric was stuck at home because we had some nasty down drafts around the Tornado that touched down hit our neighborhood. We only lost a fence and some tree limbs. Eric thought we were going to lose the entire tree, but we were saved. He came home early Monday to clean up the rest of the storm mess to find out our water line to the fridge leaked and flooded our house. Bleh!

Cabin time...lots of boating and swimming, and eating of smoked meats. The boys smoked pork shoulder for sammies, which was amazing!! Then they smoked Ribs and Brisket for Sunday dinner....yum yum! Love having that smoker! Olivia loves the water, loved splasing all around!


Darn life-jackets!


Bubble time at the lake....love the bubble machine!


Snack time on the front porch....of course hoover is just waiting for Olivia to drop an crumbs.

BLake playing in the water, was so excited when Ben got the tubes blown up.
