lake house over spring break

We didn't have any major plans for Spring Break and were so excited when Pooh invited us to stay with her for a few days at her Lake House!--How can we say no to that?!  We love her, and we love the Lake House!

Shopping with these two...at 9 PM is a complete disaster.  

R and I enjoyed morning walks around the neighborhood (with coffee in hand of course!) almost every morning we were there!

My favorite thing to do was sit out on the deck, over looking the lake and doing my Quiet Time.  Since it was during LENT I had so much goodness to soak in while participating in She Reads Truth's "Near the Cross" study...(still want to do a full recap on that soon).  

Lunch with my love!

Pooh introduced someone to bomb pops!!

We decided to do something fishing...which basically turned into hanging out on the lake out in our lawn chairs and soaking up with sun.  

This is his, "I'm in time out for doing something cray like trying to get in the lake in my muck boots, and I'm not happy about it" face.  

One of my requirement for the week was to go to SCOOPS.  Success!!

Another morning walk...this time R asked me, "Why don't you ever run mom?  Is that something only men do?"  Yeah...that's why! ;)

He is definitely spoiled by Pooh.  McDonald's pancakes delivery!  

I think he enjoyed my hammock more than I did that week!  Great spot for playing his iPad! ;)

More fitchin'!  

That turned into this...

We were so thankful for our time away from this crazy busy every day world called "life" to enjoy each other and everything God has blessed us with!  Thank you Pooh for your friendship!  

lake life

We were blessed to be able to go visit Pooh at the lake earlier this summer!  This is R's third year to do so and we are so thankful we have been able to continue this fun tradition!  Pooh's parents bought a lake house earlier this summer, so this was our first chance to get to see their beautiful spot on the lake!

We went to Colton's for dinner the night we got there...and my lil man had a big time crackin' open all the peanuts!

We love Uncle Jay and he loves Ryder!  It's always good to see Caroline and Catie as well!  We have become friends with them and their Mama over the years, and it's so good to see them at the lake every year!

Trying on Papa Rick's hat!  ;)

Pooh let wild man drive the jet ski!  He loved it!  He drove a lil too crazy for this Mama on the back though! ;)

Nothin' like a little gatorade mustache!  ;)

Tired Punkin' after a long day on the water!

We went to play Putt Putt one night and this was R's first time!  He loved it and actually got a hole in one!  We spent most of our time catching little frogs though!  They are just too cute not too!

We spent some time at the pool too...

Helping Pooh drive the "big boat!"  He is just getting too big!

We love Caroline and Catie!!

HERE is us at the lake last year and the year before HERE!  So thankful for this blog and being able to look back at the years of fun in just a click or two!

Thanks for a fun weekend on the water Pooh!  We love you!  =)

campin' at the lake

Over Father's Day weekend, Ryder went camping with his dad.  I was so glad that he got to go and do this because it's not really something I would take him to do.  They stayed on a campsite on the lake and then went out on the boat during the day.  R had a blast and can't wait to go back!

Tired baby...he feel asleep right after this picture and then asked his dad to take him to bed right when they got back to camp!
