Bear Lake

We went to Bear Lake with Jeni and her family and Jeni's friend Andrea and her family. We had a lot of fun. The ride up there was long because Delaney cried so much! When we got up there we went and had some famous raspberry shakes at Le Beau's. We tried to go boating the next day but there was something wrong with the boat so the kids just played in the sand on the beach ALL day. They all had a blast! Later we had s'mores then it was time to drive back.

S'more time

All the boys

We have NEVER seen Delaney sleep like this....she must have been SUPER tired!

HaPpY BiRtHdAy MabLe!!!!!

I can't believe Mable is already nine years old! Time goes by so quick! It's funny how one day she will be totally tomboy and then the next she's wearing lip gloss and jewelry. She has become Delaney's idol. Everything Mable does Delaney will copy.

For her birthday we woke her up in the morning before school and let her open her presents. She was totally surprise to get a Wii although Dave and I have played with it more than she has :) She went to school and had to stay an hour late because we were having extreme weather. There was a tornado watch so they had to get in the hallway and take cover and weren't allowed to leave. Mable said all the kids were crying. When she finally got home from school Tara & I had sent up the fish tank with her 7 fish in it that her grandparents and Katelynn & Karleigh got for her. She is so happy to finally have some pets (if you can even call fish pets). Later we had a BBQ with our cousins/accross the street neighbors.  Nick & Stephanie, Katelynn and Grandma Bonnie came too. It was a fun day!!

Fishing

Our first family fishing adventure!

Mable had so much fun! The lake was super crowded but we were able to find a spot and sit down to have some lunch and try and catch some fish. After going to Burke Lake with all the kids we came home and put the twins down for a nap and Mable and Dave went to Lake Accotink. Mable caught her first fish there!!! Dave didn't have my camera. He took a picture with his phone so I'll have to figure out how to get it on the computer. 

My awesome 100% girl...more like 100% tomboy!!!
