Almost 4

We celebrated Ian's birthday before we left New York - it has become a sort of tradition.
My mom and I made him water themed cupcakes.



Abby thought they were good.


There was a dinner that went a long with it.

Dave and Kristine. Newlyweds.

Mike, ben and josh.

James stealing some salsa.

Thank you to all of the family that came to celebrate and for all the fun gifts!

A few I missed





NY - July

There were four discs of pictures to go through of our month of July at the lake so I could only post my very favorites - you can see why I have been avoiding blogging lately. As I am going through pictures ian is asking me over and over when he can go back to the lake (do you get the feeling I don't get to blog by myself very often?). I hope it becomes my kids favorite place in the world as it is mine. Thanks mom and dad for having us.

My very favorite summer picture.

Ian Devon and "Conbug" spent hours and hours on the water trampoline.

Ian fishing. His cousin's taught him how.

E and Park. Waiting patiently for an adult to go down to the water with them.

Nic and the boys.

Curt and I, Dave and Kristine. This does not happen often.

We miss parker.

Delicious dinner at doug's fish fry.

My sisters. Is someone missing?

My boys love aunt nicki.

We met sweet babyTaylor.

James and Parker were crazy together!

Uncle Joe and my dad racing.


The lake is so pretty.

No pants.





Ian was crazy in the water. He has no fear.

We are home


All my happy thoughts about coming home were ruined by the 8 hours turned 17 hours of traveling...until I harvested this from my garden the next morning -

and met Stella Grace the next afternoon. She is perfect.


Lots of pictures of NY to come.

Wedding redux - NY

Another beautiful wedding reception on the beach - complete with tent, lights, live music and a lot of purple.





The Bennetts.





Dave and Kristine

Introducing...the very happy couple!

Lots of pictures at the temple.





Our third try at a family picture. At least no one is screaming crying in this one.

I love this picture of dave and my dad at the reception.



Mike was the DJ
