the trip to the lake

well, each year we take a trip to the lake of the ozarks for a little family fun. this year was extra special since it was the first time since... wait for it...

2004

that bryan has been able to go with us! yesssss! i tell you... we had a great time. it is always fun for us to see the devine family and visit all together since our whole family get togethers are few and far between. here are the girls... grace, aurora, and raegan out one the deck.



they have so much fun together and we love to see (and hear) them playing together. they are so sweet.... speaking of sweet... check out this little guy. as his first time to play with the big kids (last year he was only 6 months old), he had a great time. jack loved the lake, the boat, and the pool. i think i remember telling bryan that i was so glad that all of the kids were finally okay with wearing a life jacket the entire time they were on the boat. usually, that is a major complaint with my kids, but this time it was great! yippee!



and here are sweet raegan and handsome ty (aka squlish)! i just love ty. he is so adorable and i can't get enough of his squeezes. ty and raegan love this swivel chair at the lake house! it is just too fun to watch them wind it up and spin around.
