Beach Baby

We had a beautiful day at the lake! We were so glad we went after talking to people who said it was too hot to do anything in town.

We spent the day floating in the water and swimming at the swimming hole. The water was beautiful. As I was laying on the raft Craig said "see...it's not so bad being pregnant in the summer!!" I must say I really enjoyed being in the water. Connie and Steve treated us to Craig's favorite pizza at Wee Villa for supper. Thanks for a great day!

Katelynn really had fun swimming in her tube and playing in the sand.

Our little Graduate!!

Katelynn graduated from the Toddler room today! She has been transitioning to the Preschool room for a couple weeks and will start full time next tuesday!! I can't believe how fast she is growing up! She seems excited to be a "big girl" and sleep on a "big cot"! The kids in there seem huge compared to her. There are 30 kids in the room, but in the fall they are starting a kindergarden room and splitting up the preschool room so there will be 20 and 20. I think that will be good.

Katelynn and Tyden

Katelynn just adores her new cousin. She wants to hold him and be near him all the time! We've had to kind of keep our distance for a while as she's had a bit of a cold. Tonight she got to hold him again. She loves to sing (in this high pitched squeaky voice) to him. I am not sure if he likes it or not!

Is everyone else loving this hot humid weather? It is just miserable. I am so thankful for air conditioning. I pretty much have been staying inside everyday. I walked from the car to Rachel's doorstep and was actually out of breath. (Being 9 months pregnant might have something to do with that, too!)

VACATION IS OVER!!

My vacation comes to an end. I had almost a week off, but I have to go back tomorrow. I am actually worried about making it through a whole day of work. We didn't really do any travelling with our time off....we actually stayed home! It was very nice to just relax.

I did get one of my goals accomplished....I made homemade ice cream with an ice cream maker we got for our wedding!! It was pretty good, but A LOT of work and kind of spendy. I think we will buy it from the store or go to the DQ from now on!

I am really going to miss my daily naps too. Now the count down begins until the baby is born.

Times have changed.

7 years ago I don't think Craig and Kyle pictured themselves sitting on a couch with their children posing for pictures. Kyle was one of Craig's roommates in college. Him and his wife Julie and son Braylon were on vacation in Duluth. They drove from Utah...we were a good pit stop for them on the way there and the way home. They stayed Friday night and were heading home today....long drive!! Of course we could never get them both to smile at the same time, but we had to get a few pictures anyway.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!

Can you believe I didn't take any pictures? We had a nice relaxing day of sitting on the beach at my aunt Kathy and uncle Mel's lake. They have a trailer on lake Melissa. We did a lot of swimming and playing in the sand. We went to my Uncle Chuck and Aunt Dar's for a little party when we got home. Craig and I were able to watch the MSU fireworks show from our driveway among many neighborhood displays.

I am on vacation until next tuesday....I am definitely ready to relax.

Weslake Resort

Every year Craig's family gathers at the resort in June. We had great resort weather this year. Sunny and warm everyday. Everyone enjoyed the water.

Katelynn seemed to love her new pink "floatie". Katelynn and her cousin Drew made up there own version of Lasso Golf!
