Summer Photo Throw-down

Axel is getting SO BIG!

I got this sweet/interesting card from Keagan for Mother's Day!

First outing on the Boat! Day date with my sweetheart.

Axel likes to sit by the fan and cool himself

always a good nap when you fall asleep with your hand in the chip bag!

when you and your sister take a detour to Purple Toad Winery for a tasting!

The girls' babysitter Ms. Cassie took them all over the place over the summer! Like Chuck-E-Cheese....

...or swimming in the local hotel pool...

...or Vertical Jump!

Finn made a hamburger cake...and it reminded me of the cake I had for my 10th birthday!

So I had to do a walk down memory lane to look at the cake and pictures! Thanks Mom, for indulging my memories!

Gamma and Poppy got us the BEST present for Christmas: Venture River season passes! We used the heck out of these this past summer!

getting my badge made for my new job!!

Josh's cousin Daisy got married! 

Deep conversations with Aunt Pat

the beautiful bride!

see that little toot flower girl? That's Daisy...nearly 18 years to the day!  (Her wedding was June 18...we celebrated 18 years of marriage the very next day!)

I can't stop looking at this baby when she sleeps

the kids always talk Josh into slushies from gas stations!

the start of our anniversary date!! Dam Brewhaus for a quick lunch and  a beer before we head out to the lake!

the only "kid" allowed on our date was  Axel

a gorgeous sunset to end our 18th anniversary lake date!
