Life Lately plus Memorial Day at the Lake

Here is what we have been up to this week...
Dairy Queen run one random night after we had our showers 
EOG breakfast  
Caleb used a birthday gift card to get a Cotton Candy Maker so we made cotton candy a few days after school.  It really does make good cotton candy and is super easy!
Dairy Queen after church with our friends 
Boys table 
Church one Wednesday night - we all love Mrs. Wendy 
Mom retired!  Melanie and I attended her lunch at Something Different! 
Ella got her piano trophy for knowing all notes!  We are so proud of her!

We headed to the lake for Memorial Day weekend 
Ella had her side of the truck set up and ready! 
Fishing! 
Everyone loves to play with Micah - she is sitting up so well now!
Three peas in a pod!  Ready for some fun in the sun!  The kids all had their bathing suits on before 8;00 each morning.
Breakfast on the deck with MeMa 
We got a new tube and it was so much fun - the kids loved it! 
Swimming with cousins 
Rhett and Caleb fishing 
Oreo loved the lake 
Caleb knee boarding - this boy loves all water sports 
He is a natural and amazes me how he pops right up each year
On a boat ride with my girl 
Lena, Jodi and Ella would ride the tube all day long - they were giggling the whole time! 
The boys driving the boat 
Mitzi and her girls tubing 
The crew - Cole missed being able to play in the water! 
Oreo swimming but she isn't a big fan 
Sunburn on the first day! 
It was a hot weekend!  We were thankful for umbrellas to give us shade.  The kids enjoyed all their meals out on the deck. 
Golf cart rides are always a favorite at the lake 
We went walking each morning! 
I decided to try and ski ...
and I got right up!  I was so glad I still was able to do it! 
Logan documented the moment for me from the pier  
More tubing fun - Jules loved it too!  
Mason floating 
More fishing - Caleb and Rhett
Rhett loves his cousins so much and wants to be just like the big boys! 
Getting a tan while we watch the kids swim 
He finally got a fish! 
MeMa got everyone a cup of Oreos on one of her grocery runs! 
Rhett and Jules eating their Oreos -Rhett did not stop til the whole cup was gone!
Mason and Winfield 
Ella and Corey

It was so hot that we stayed in the water a lot!
Oreo loved the hammock at the lake 
Coloring on the porch 
Ella would jump in over and over - she is quite a fish these days!  
Ready for another boat ride 
Cole, Evan and Caleb - we were headed to Goat Island 
Just floating on the tube

We all wore our hats a lot! 
Can you tell we tubed a lot?  I tubed with Mitzi and we had so much fun - it was like old times! 
Oreo - she was loving all the outside time at the lake! 
Caleb learning to drive the boat 
We wanted ice cream one night so we made a late night run!  We got home and realized we hadn't had dinner but we still ate our ice cream first :)  They looked so cute in their hats! 
Caleb and Oreo in his Eno hammock that he got for Christmas
Golf cart rides with Kelly - all the kids love her! 
Kelly tubing too! 
More ice cream on the deck  
Ella tried to ski too but she didn't stay up long  
Caleb popped right up and went a long way skiing on just one ski! 
Look at him go! 
Rhett and Winfield cheering him on!  
Winfield was not a fan of the water but he did like when Ella was holding him! 
The sign of a good weekend - so tired on the way home!

We are thankful for a relaxing weekend away with the Taylor Crew!  The kids all played so well together and we got to enjoy lots of fun in the sun!
