Lake Party # 2 & 30wk pic

We had our 4th Annual Family Lake Day with our Sunday School class & their kids out at Mom & Dad's this weekend. We had 20 adults and no telling how many kids. Due to my "current condition," I stayed by the pool all afternoon and swam with the kids. Brian took the boat out with mostly dad's and kids that wanted to tube. Hudson FINALLY tubed...yeah! Brian didn't even have to talk him into it & he loved it. Oh and another mileston...Hudson jumped off the diving board with no lifejacket and swam to the shallow end. AND he went down the slide with no lifejacket. Of course, this idea came to him when he saw a girl his same age doing it and said he could too! Nothing like being shown up by a "girl!" LOL!! We grilled fajitas and swam a little bit more before it started getting dark. We are so blessed to be a part of a wonderful Sunday school class and love each of them dearly.


I leave for Kansas City tomorrow for a business conference and will be back Friday. Have a great week!

Our new "trick"

Monkey see, monkey do!!
We had our office staff and their families over to Mom & Dad's for a Lake Party on Saturday. The weather was perfect, so we got to stay out all afternoon.
I'm guessing you're wondering why I have pics of only Drew on the waverunner & tube....well, that's b/c he's our more daring child. Drew will pretty much try anything that involves his Daddy. It was his first time on the tube and he had a blast. It was also Hudson's first time to jump off the diving board and go down the slide (w/ a life jacket, of course)!
We're having our Sunday School class out to the lake next weekend so there will be more pics then. I love summer!!

My construction boys

Before pics
I think making cement was their favorite part

Not sure what's in that hole but I guess it's interesting

Wearing a hat; which is rare....too cute

My other cutie


Mer & Granddad Glover on their 60th Anniversary
We are finally putting a deck up in our back yard. We have been in this house for 4 years and just never got around to doing it. A friend of ours has built several decks so we thought we could use someone with a little bit of experience to help. I think the deck is going to be a little larger than we had thought, but that's ok. I'm super excited and can't wait for outdoor furniture to go on sale so I can go looking.
Also, we had a celebration dinner last night for my grandparents' 60th wedding anniversary. They are so cute. They took our whole family to Bermuda 10 years ago for their 50th. It was a vacation I'll never forget; it was amazing. I'm so thankful that my grandparents and parents are still married and modeled to me how to make a marriage work over decades and still enjoy being together today. I told Mer that hopefully Brian and I will go to Bermuda on our 50th in honor of them!

Happy 4th

Lazy river

Drew going down the slide after we begged the slide attendant to let him

Daddy had to go 1st to demonstrate

Hudson slid down this 50 times, at least

I didn't take many pics this weekend except our trip to a small water park in Tyler. We had a low-key holiday and didn't even go out in the boat once. Boy, I'm getting old!!
We swam for a few hours at mom and dad's and went to the in-laws for some steaks. I tried to get the boys to go out to the lake to watch fireworks but they quickly declined! Guess I should be thankful...I'm sure there will be many years to come of them begging to shoot fireworks!!! Hope you had a great weekend too!
FYI: the reason I only posted pics of the slides is b/c that's all the boys wanted to do the whole time!! Guess we got our money's worth after 50 times down the slide!!!
