A few more from the lake...




We had such an awesome time on the boat! We can't wait to go again!!

Fishing






While out on the lake the kids wanted to try out their new fishing poles that Papa gave them. My kids had no idea how patient you have to be to fish. It lasted a total of 15 minutes and that included the time it took Papa to bait the hook. This brought back so many wonderful memories of my childhood. I remember going out on the boat with my dad countless times and fishing. I also remember getting my line caught in a tree or two. I got choked up watching my dad bait my kids hooks just like he did for me when I was little. Awesome day!

Out on Papa's Boat






We finally made it out to the lake with Papa. We went to Pine Flats Lake. It was a huge lake and not too busy! The kids had a fabulous time on the tube! Parker laughed and laughed as the wind hit his cute little face. Serenity wanted to swim in the lake all day and Landen was very content watching from the boat until Daddy threw him in.

The kiddos got a hold of the Camera






So one of the kids' favorite things to do is to get the camera and take pictures. Here are a few of the poses. Usually it is Ren directing Landen to take pics of her and her striking a pose. And yes, that is Ren doing the "tree" yoga pose that she learned from the wii.

Parker's chair


Parker loves sitting in his little chair and playing with a spoon as I get his dinner ready. He is growing up way too fast!

Parker's 1st Food


At about 4 1/2 months Parker had his first taste of rice cereal! His face doesn't look too sure, but now he can't get enough of the cereal, vegetables, and fruit. He gets so excited when I am preparing his food. He makes this fake coughing sound and opens his mouth and starts moving that little tongue. When he is done he spits... trying to stop that habit super fast.

Summer Time Fun Update

We have been trying to have as much fun as we can this summer and I am way behind on the blogging. So here we go...
