I took a lot of pictures but these are some of my most favorite.

Boating at Family Camp

We all had a blast hanging out on the boat for most of the weekend, especially the kids. Scott and I and his mom took all the kids on a evening cruise and it was really nice. Here I think Emma is still day dreaming about her bike. She was very concerned that her mom had told her she could ride her bike after her nap and instead she was riding on the boat.

Jerry was a very serious boat driver. He was listening to every word that Scott said. Jacob on the other hand liked honking the horn and scaring Tiger who was sitting on the cooler in front of him.

Family Camp

This past weekend we had family camp with Scott's mom, dad, sisters and families. We had a blast. It was so much fun and I got so many fun pictures that it will take several posts. We started this fun filled weekend Friday night with hamburgers and S'mores. The kids had a blast making the S'mores. I think because it is the only time they are allowed to play with fire.

Scott almost had a incident with the fire and lighter fluid.

They were real good and messy. I think everyone and everything was a little sticky.

Relaxing Weekend

Scott and I had a relaxing weekend alone at the lake. We had a beautiful white duck that stayed around out boat all weekend. We took a drive up the lake to Tucker and back to Diamond City. We then decided to go to Peel by water. It was very nice to enjoy the scenery and not be in any hurry.

On the way to Peel we found this lighthouse. I did not know there was a light house on the lake.

Last Game of the Season

Baseball season is now over. Valley ended the season with a win and Christian got a hit.

Christian was so excited that Grandma got to come and watch. Of course she took both of the kids out to eat afterwards and they got to stay the night which they enjoy so much. The kids are still talking about her "COOL" flower baseball cap.

Emma

It was so nice to have someone pose for me. . .Emma needs to be a model when she grows up. I have been trying to work with my camera manually instead of letting the camera do all the work for me. I think this photo turned out good. Outside photos I am getting better at. Inside photos I still need alot of work. I got alot of pointers from Kim while we were at the lake. I have alot to learn so hopefully I can get together with her again sometime because I can't remember everything she told me. It is much easier to have someone explain it to you and show you instead of trying to read it out of a book. Thanks Kim for the help.

Skeeter

I have been trying to practice with my camera. Even Skeeter has started running away when I get my camera out. I now have lots of pictures of Breanna's hands over her face and of Skeeter's back side. Isn't he cute. I know he is a pain sometimes but we are attached to each other. He seams to think he owns me instead of the other way around.
