the lake house 2011

The Lake house was a lot of fun this summer. I was so against renting it... Rick was right we had a blast! Everyone loved it.

Natalie learned to wake -skate, I remembered how to slalom ski!

The kids all tubed and drove the jet skis ,

Long hot summer days!

The Lake is where to be!

Fun Fun Fun!!!

Brianna Carter going away party

Brianna is going on a mission!

We decided to throw her a party before she leaves..

What are some of her favorite things.... Beach ,sand,shells, flip flops & friends!

Rick & I have truly loved spending time with this special girl. When I think back

to all the memories.... it sure puts a smile on my face.

Things I love about Brianna????...everything!

Honestly , I love this girl like my own daughter.

Brianna and Natalie are more like sisters than friends. They have so much in

common. Even though we will miss her..... I'm happy for her... a great opportunity!

We love you Bri!

Forever & Ever!!!
