The Lake

Chris grew up on the lake, his parents and grandparents live on the lake, so it is only natural that we spend a LOT of time during (especially during the summer). Our summers are jam packed with lots of time boating and relaxing in the sun! This weekend was so beautiful and warm so we took Colton on his first boat ride. Colton was just a newborn last summer so he did not have a chance to get outside much, but if this weekend is any indication of how our summer is going to go, it is going to be great! I was shocked that he didn’t take a screaming fit when I put the life jacket on him and was more shocked that he just lay down and relaxed! My child relaxing while awake! Totally out of character for him… he is normally go go go! Here are a few pics!





I think this is a indicator that he is going to do great at the beach!

Lot of Love,

Easter has always been one of my favorite “holidays” of the year; it is such a wonderful time to reflect on the death, burial and most importantly the resurrection of our wonderful Savior. This Easter was extra special because it was Colton’s first Easter (well, first Easter outside of the womb). I love to mark all of his firsts; I hope I do that with all of our children. Our Easter weekend was spent with Chris’ family on the lake – we got to visit with his brothers children (Mitchell 5 and Evelyn 2) – we do not get to see them much because they live in Nashville so we had a great time! They had not seen Colton since Christmas and he is a totally different child now (crawling, babbling, being a wild 10 month old) so it was nice to see them enjoy him! Easter day was a day filled with worship, great music, and a wonderful message from our Pastor. All this followed by lots of picture snapping…
