The Lake House/ Family Reunion

We just got back from the best vacation ever, we go to this cabin on the lake every year for a week and it is our favorite vacation. The cabin is right on the lake and the beach is perfect sand. It is so beautiful and relaxing. The first half of the week was our family vacation and all of Rons kids came up with all of us. We went boating, jet skiing, four wheeling, hiking, and just relaxed on the beach, it was the best. Then on Thursday rons kids all left and my moms family came up for our family reunion. My moms famliy is really close and we all get along really well, we always have so much fun when we are together. I love all of them so much. It was a blast. We went boating, jet skiing, four wheeling, played and layed out on the beach. We stayed up late playing games and talking. Little Joseph cut his eye open and had to go get stitches at the hospital (poor little guy) but other than that it was a great time. Mom and Ron gave a slide show of their pictures from Israel and told us some of the cool stuff they learned while they were there. This vacation was exactly what I needed to decompress, plus I got really tan (yey!). The kids loved it, they loved the boat and the jet ski's and just playing on the beach.

Mary and Dave, My aunt Mary was diagnosed with Cancer about 6 months ago and has been having Chemo treatments. She is honestly one of my hero's, she has handled this trial with so much grace and faith. She has so much trust in our Heavenly Father. I love her so much and I have learned so much from her

Catchin some Air, Chuck was so much better this year. He learned to completely clear the wake. He did better on this trip than he has ever done


Hello Sexy!!! Look at those bulging biceps =)


Daddy, Mommy and Emma on the tube. Emma loved riding on the tube, I thought she would be scared, but she couldn't get enough of it. She would cry when her turn was over and would beg us to let her go again, it was so funny.


This was Emma's face the whole time she was riding on the boat, it was pure Joy, she was having so much fun


Cayden on the tube, he was a little scared and would only go if the boat was going really slow and if we held the rope only about 5 feet back from the boat.


Grandma and Granpa with Emma


The last day Emma was so tired out that she feel asleep on the boat. She slept through me taking her out of the boat, and riding a four wheeler back up to the cabin, she really must have been wiped out.
