Just Can't Get Enough

I am definitely different..especially from my Nana and my sister. I love the sun, sand and surf! I say it all the time and I am completely serious..I could live at the beach and someday I hope we do. Or at least 3 months out of the year! This past Sunday we took the kids back to Sackets to see a re-enactment on the battlefield. The actors were fully dressed and had set-up camp just like they did back in 1812. We walked around the camp sites and watched the battle. Then we headed to the beach, aka the lake. The kids loved the water and having another picnic! I could definitely get used to picnics on the beach everyday! I guess I better start saving my pennies!
PS--while it looks like Linds is playing in deep water, she is actually sitting down, it was only up to her ankles.

A Sunset Ride

This past Saturday we were itching to get out and enjoy the weather. Late afternoon we packed up the kids, the bikes and some food and headed for Sackets. It really is so beautiful there in the summer. We took a long bike ride, had a picnic dinner, ran around the battle field and finished the night off with some ice cream! It was a perfect family night!

Gotta Love Them

Any chance Jake gets to jump in the pool he does! Lindsey does like it but also loves to roam around and explore in the garage. Recently she can be seen wearing a fire hat. Whether around the house, on a walk, or in the pool--she loves it! Silly kids!

A BIG Thanks!

A BIG thanks goes out to my sister, who volunteered to watch Lindsey for me for 2 days while I fed my brain with some OT! I wasn't looking forward to sitting in class or missing out on our friends at the Lake, but I couldn't be more thankful to my sister for watching her so I didn't have to worry! The class turned out to be great and I knew Lindsey was well cared for! The weather was sweltering but they made it through the weekend! Thanks to my sister for being an awesome Auntie!

The Next Mary Lou!

Could she really be on her way to winning a Gold Medal? Absolutely---NOT! While I will say, she doesn't have much fear and is willing to try anything, she has no concept of sitting on the floor and stretching for 5 mins or waiting her turn in line. In between the beam or doing a somersault, she wants to run or cry. She loves to jump on the tumble track but hates waiting her turn. She does well at the tasks she is given but I don't see her having the discipline to practice anytime soon! I think hockey may be in her future! Love you Linds!

H2O

Last week it was so hot and we needed to beat the heat. One day the kids played with anything water related. The pool, sprinkler, slip-n-slide, water table, water guns, etc. I even took the time to fill up about 30 water balloons. Jake and I had a great water balloon fight, Lindsey just wanted to carry hers around.

Fire up the Grill

I love grilling veggies and I am so thrilled that we planted a garden this year. Our tomatoes are now turning red too!
