Kids at the lake house

  We have enjoyed this time we've had on Lake Gertrude.  Everyone of the kids love to sea doo and ride the tube, catch minnows eat lots of popsicles and play on the slide.  Lake days are the BEST!

Carter is all about the sea doo rides!

Britton likes this blow up slide but really his favorite is fishing!
My least favorite is trying to unhook the fish and throw back without
killing it .

Macie is getting her vest on to ride the tube.  She isn't afraid!

This slide is even fun for adults to go down.
 Missy 5 months pregnant went down this fun slide!

 Who came up with these inexpensive easy to handle pops??  This grandma loves them....

Seminary

 Way to go Natalie!  This is what makes your parents very happy!

Since I didn't go to seminary as a youth I didn't know how great of a accomplishment this was until after the fact.  I wasn't able to be there to see her receive this but you can bet I'll never miss another!  So proud of you Natalie!

Baby Maya

These boys have been waiting a very long time to get to hold this sweet baby girl!

Jayden a bit longer since he thought Landon would be his little sister!

She smiled at me as soon as I held her!.. 

Must know how much I already love her.

Geoffrey and Rhea are always so calm throughout the delivery process.
 Its like okay here we go again... lets do this! They are a great team.

              Rhea does seem to make it look easy. 
             This time they let her have the baby
             as soon as she was born .

                  Aunt Natalie loves these new ones... 

                         Beautiful Blessing !!

Kate turns 26!!

Katelyn turns 26! 

My children's birthdays are important  to me. Maybe because it reminds me of the day they were born.   I want them to feel happy and loved and make sure that their day is special NO matter what age they are turning.   This time I knew I couldn't do that for Katelyn.  My sweet girl put on her big girl smile and with a few tears  blew out her candles.  The kids were so excited for her especially..... Macie-Kate  

Katelyn tried very hard to enjoy all the effort we

 (Missy, Rhea, Natalie and I ) put into making it as special as we could. 

This was a funny moment... Rhea got Kate a new hat!

This is the way the day went , a few laughs ....a few smiles ....but many many far a way stares. 

 

This is what makes Katelyn happiest......

And this !!!

Happy Birthday Katelyn we all love you very very much!

Mickey Mouse giving Katelyn a Hug.. Merrik sure likes him until he gets close.

Carter likes the kids club one of his favorite places was "ANDYS" room  from Toy Story

This was a cute idea someone had to put on their door.  They made this out of magnetic paper . This must have been people that cruise a lot because who thinks of stuff like this?

The kids are looking at the Disney Island "Castaway Cay"

Free Ice-Cream.... Alex took advantage of this !

I know the have their own lives but.... I love seeing my kids together!

LegoLand

A Day at Legoland with Katelyn, Natalie ,Macie, Merrik and Baby Carter!  We were a little surprised that even Merrik was able to ride the wooden roller coaster .  After the first big dip he loooove it!

It is Feburary here but still in the 80's so a big slushy drink hit the spot. 

Baby Carter loved the toddler area, big bean bags and AIR CONDITIONING!

 

We are going to try to come back here with Missy , Rhea and all the kids!  They did a very good job with this park.  Family friendly with a lot of rides and clean!  In the spring the water park will open !
