lake fun 2010



























what a wonderful, relaxing week we spent at the lake of the ozarks again this summer! it is always great to get away and simply relax. the kids have THE BEST time! austin completed his boat license course, which meant we rarely saw him (he was off on the red seadoo for most of each day). garry had fun driving coleman and hampton around on the yellow seadoo, while jessica and i enjoyed floating in the pool. dreamy. the kids also enjoyed tubing and boat rides, in between austin's water skiing practice! he got up on skis on his fourth try...what fun! coleman is anxious to try again next summer!

family, friends, fun, food...what summer is all about!

five candles








hampton celebrated her REAL fifth birthday while we were at the lake of the ozarks. we had a mini family celebration, complete with a cinderella cake, balloons and presents. austin gave her a bracelet and coleman surprised her with the matching necklace...she was sooo excited! jessica gave her an american girl doll with earrings and lots of clothes...what a treat! we spent a fun day on the lake, and completed it with five big wishes (one of them she whispered to me..."i wanna find my prince!")
