Weekend at the Lake

WE LOVE THE LAKE!

This weekend we went to Cedar Creek Lake with our friends, the Fifers (Christman, Sarah, Abby, and Kingsley). Christman and Sarah led a newlywed bible study group Matt and I joined shortly after we were married. We have remained good friends and love spending time with them and their girls. Anyway, Sarah's parents own a beautiful lake house....we had way too much fun!!
Uh...this does NOT look like my backyard!
Me & Kingsley (she's 2 1/2 years old...pretty cute,uh?)
Matt & Abby (she's 5 and will go to Kindergarten this year...such a big girl!)
Matt, Kingsley, me, & Abby
Cuddling with Caroline
Abby had Caroline smiling and laughing the whole time

Okay, so I'm a little bit of a wuss when it comes to anything that goes fast (HATE roller coasters, you get the idea). So I assumed that riding the jet ski with a 2 yr. old was perfect. Well, Kingsley told me "faster!" over and over until I realized that if a 2 yr. old is telling me to go faster, something is wrong. I picked up the pace!!
Tubing with Abby...not a great idea in rough water, I thought my head was going to pop off. Of course, Abby loved it!
Matt was much more fun on the jet skiis!

We love the Fifers and had such a good weekend!! If we're half as good of parents as they are, we'll be good-to-go. I'm so glad they're in our lives and can share their wisdom on marriage, parenting, etc... with us in the years to come. Poor Sarah, whenever we get together, I have about 100 questions for her on the above mentioned topics. Anyway, we love you guys!!!

Ha! I totally understand the need for bows :o). Some of the first ones I got were actually bows sewn onto same colored headbands from a website called: staymybaby.com. I also have a ton of headbands and clip-on-bows from Kid To Kid. It's actually a consignment store, but all the bows/headbands are new, of course. They have a GREAT selection of headbands and bows. That's where we get all of ours now. There are several Kid To Kid locations around here so if you google it, I'm sure you could find one close. Hope this helps!
