More life in pics...


Alex and Jack (and Cooper) trying out the new barbie fishing pole.


Al with her Grandpa


Tim with the kiddos in our new boat!


Oh my...what a hot picture! But it was the only pic of both of us on our anniversary!


Our view...with our cheetos...on our anniversary. Life is good.

Alex and her cousin Jack eating gummy worms.


My babes and me at home...Alex's new camera face. It's all I get these days.


Finally a smile...us up at the lake house


Glamorous Coop


My hunky man on the cliffs at the lake. He likes to climb up them like a bad a**! Alex jumped off the smaller ones all by herself this year! Wahoo!

While at the lake, Tim and I remembered it was our six year anniversary. We got so busy with life we nearly forgot. We celebrated on the deck (after bedtime for the kiddos) with cheetos and beer. We really know how to live it up. We took our new boat up and had some fun getting use to it and me practicing driving and launching it. Good times. We are in love with it.
Sam was cranky for some of the trip due to teeth, I think? He's feeling much better now but no new teeth just yet. Keeping my eye out for one. All in all we are having a wonderful summer so far. Life just goes so fast we have to remember to slow down and really take it all in. Especially while these beans are so little...it goes SO fast. I'm really enjoying my time off work being with Sam and Alex when she's not at school. I feel very fortunate that I am able to have this time off. Will probably start back up to work early fall. Also looking forward to that, too.
With that, naptime has come to an abrupt end. I have to go rescue a cranky, sleepy, sweaty baby. It's almost 100 degrees here today! Our upstairs feels like it, too!
Happy Summer!

So fun! I can't believe you guys have a boat, that's awesome. So do you only use it down at Rough River or by your house as well?

Glad you are enjoying summer and were able to stop and enjoy your anniversary. Isn't it crazy it's been 6 years? Time flies. Owen is going to be 4 months on Monday and that seems unbelievable, I can't imagine how you feel with your beautiful grown up kiddos!

Love ya

hey jill! thanks for commenting ;) we keep the boat at our house and use it at brookville lake which is about twenty five minutes from our house. it's one of the bigger ones in Indiana so it's really nice. We def wouldn't have bought a boat otherwise. We took it down to rough river just to get some practice with it for me. next summer i think we will rent a slip to keep it docked on so we don't have to launch it and unlaunch it every time we want to use it. i don't know correct boat 'terms' to use so i go with launch and unlaunch! lol! i can't believe owen is going to beFOUR months! nuts! he's such a cutie! i miss you guys!
