More lake pics

Lake of the Ozarks

We all had such a great time at the lake. The kids all went tubing, except Breckyn, but she did get off the boat to swim. Mom and dad went with us. Their dog, Sugar, also came along and was not sure of all that water. She soon figured it out and the poor girl was sore the next day. It was a short 3 days, but we plan to return in the next few weeks.

July

Hows everyone doing? Sorry I have not been keepin up on the blog lately. Been real busy. The last 2 weekends we have been spending it with Kade at his baseball tournaments. He has been doing so great being catcher and playing 2nd base. He received gold metals at both tournaments. What a way to end the season! Although, the season was already over, he played on a traveling team, which was well worth it.
The kids are in bible school all this week from 6-8:30pm, been real nice without kids for awhile. I been spending this time at the rec catching up on the 5 lbs I gained the prior 2 weeks. Sometimes, I think I will never catch up.
We will be going on vacation at Lake of the Ozarks at the family cabin this week, so I will take some pics. Until the next post, have a great summer!

Good times

Kerestin had her 8th b-day party at the Roller Rink. The kids had a great time.

Landon is 11 and in the 6th grade. He enjoys all sports. He is a great pitcher and catcher. He loves wrestling and football too. Often you will see him on his rip board outside.

Kade is 9 and in the 4th grade. He enjoys everything his big brother does. He is a great 1st baseman and catcher. You will find these boys glued to the TV when WWF is on the tube.

Kerestin is 8 and in 3rd grade. She loves sports too and is a great 2nd baseman. I had a great time coaching her and look forward to it again next year. She swims every chance she gets. She loves makeup and clothes. I find myself asking "Why are my girls this way?" There mama ain't like that.

Canoe trip

Dirk and I took a canoe trip this year at River Ranch Resort in MO. It was so much fun. I dont think I have ever laughed so much in a long time. We went with about 18 other people and stayed in a large cabin. It was so nice and peaceful to be out with nature and no children. We hope to do it again.

Baptism

The kids got baptised the day after Mothers Day. They were so excited about it. The church gave them their very own bible with there names engraved on it so that they would never forget this day.

Fun at the lake

Puppy Hodge

We love our big baby Hodge. He is a 2 year old Mastiff. He is a big teddy bear that is afraid of everything. He thinks he is little and loves to cuddle. He weighs about 200lbs and has been the best dog ever.

Breckyn graduated from preschool this year and we are very proud of her. It has been a great 2 years at Trinity Church. She is very sad to leave her teacher, Miss Tina. We have been doing some convincing that next year she will get a new teacher and it will be even better in kindergarten. She is not sure about that, but is willing to try.

She keeps the family laughing with her funny sense of humor and she changes her clothes several times a day. Yes, the teenage madness has already started for the soon to be 5 year old kindergartner.
