The Lake

Another summer, another fun time at the Lake!

Baby Cali's first time at Lake Mead...and definitely not the last!

Two thumbs up, on the weinie!

wow, SIX kids on that thing!

And the precious baby sister...sleeping like an angel, behaving like an angel. She is the angel in the family!

The boat driver....kinda crazy, but 100% fun!

I tried getting up on the wake board, but after three kids, just couldn't do it. Bummer. Big Bummer!

But Brooke, the 17 yr old got up...

Dallyn is the dude!

The Angel...being absolutely adorable!

Alex wake boarding, showing the thirty something how its done!

Good lookin' boat...with a good lookin' group!

Here come the swamp things...

Clay statues!

Jamie with the babe!

And the girls' boy friends!

It's a bird...its a plane....

No...its just a three yr old on that tube!

Flag duty!

Beating the heat...having lots of fun...what more could we ask for!!

Well, we could ask for a really crazy boat driver to whip us around on the tube behind the boat!

And whipped to the other side!

and to the other...

man, this is fun!

Summer babes with their pretty long legs!

Thanks Jen for a rockin' fun time!

It was a blast!

Now for some cliff jumping!

I can't help but put up some sweet pictures of the baby girl!

We've got some dare devils on our hands!!!

Lake Mead with Andrew & Nicki

Jen, my sister, was so nice to take us out on her boat Friday. We had a total blast! I think it was both Andrew and Nicki's first time on Lake Mead...but hopefully not the last!

Being September, it was absolutely beautiful, the water was warm and the weather was gorgeous.

The lake was as smooth as glass! We beached and ate lunch before heading out!

Tubing is our favorite thing to do when we get out on the lake. There's something to gliding across the lake on a tube as the boat whips us from side to side...its SO FUN! Thanks Jen, we ALL had a great time.

My mom requested to go to the Lake to celebrate her birthday...and it was SO FUN! I remembered to bring my camera this time, and I'm SO GLAD I did...

My mom AND dad got on the tube and was taken for a spin!! At first we had to do a little convincing for them to get on, but then they didn't want to get off! My dad kept yelling to Jen [the driver], "IS that ALL you GOT?" SO FUNNY!!! He suddenly turned into a teenager looking for adventure...like getting thrown off the tube was something fun!!

The water was as smooth as glass...no wind, the perfect lake day!

We all took turns on the tube...could we have planned a better day with weather to suit the birthday girl so wonderfully??

Playing on the beach, basking in the sun, soaking in the water, enjoying each other's company...sometimes I wonder how my life is so blessed? I feel so blessed and spoiled all at the same time...go figure!

Thanks Jen for taking us out...it was a blast!

I don't think we could have had more fun! With the exception of Mark and Obteen coming...somebody has to work around here!
