Day at the lake

Last weekend we took the kids up to the lake. Shaun took Kaden fishing for the first time but the only thing he caught was a log. He really wasn't all that into it so it didn't last very long.


We found our favorite little spot in the woods and had a picnic.


Grocery store sushi in the middle of the woods. lol


I ordered a UV/bug guard for the stroller but it hasn't come yet so we had to improvise.


Kaden took this picture. He did a pretty good job, don't ya think.


They love the water but Micah had about 100 time outs for throwing sand.






We had the swimming area completely to ourselves. The kids had a blast and we can't wait to head back.
When we got home my grandmother lectured me on how dangerous the lake can be and how I need to be careful with the kids. I love her dearly but she kills me. I was a lifeguard for 8 years. I think I can handle it.

My baby brother's 16!

I can't tell ya how old it makes me feel to tell you my little brother turned 16 last Thursday! I still remember the day he was born and now he has a drivers permit!
He's a golf fanatic so I made him this cake...


We had his party at the county club. They have a great zero entry pool. The kids had a blast! Here's my niece Brooklyn.

Kaden

Right before we went t leave Kaden needed to pee but he's terrified of self flushing toilette so as he's sanding in the stall he's saying to himself "there's nothing to be afraid of". Then he flushes, quickly turns to me and buries his face in my shirt. It took everything I had to keep a strait face.
I didn't take any pictures of the babies. My grandmothers had them under the gazebo. The kids had such a good time. I think we may get a membership to the pool in a couple years. Right now it's just to hard to keep track of everyone.
