Lake Trip Summer 2018 Part 2

This year BOTH Hudson and Steel decided to come home with Jaafe and I after our first week at the lake.  Jaaten stayed with Grammie an Papa to practice for the ski show with Jarrod and Braxton.  She would've stayed anyway though!  These two were AWESOME on the plane ride back to the lake for round 2 though!  This is what each of hem did the whole plane ride!  HA!  Hudson is totally my kid sleeping the whole way with that soft blanket! 7.2.18

 Got fireworks from a place right by the lake....never again because they were super expensive!  Ugh!  But Jaaen and Steel wanted to take this home with us!  LOL! 7.3.18
 4th of July at the lake!  The day we go to the lake for...kinda. ;)  Face painting, turtle races (we need to find a good turtle next year!), ski show.....so fun!  Grammie and Papa even came this year to see Jaaten wakeboard with Braxton!  And I have not one picture of it!  Ugh!


 
This sweet girl, Gracie, is one of my dearest friends' daughters.  Her mama Libby and I have been friends for a long time!!  It was fun to see these girls become friends.  

Fireworks on the dam!  From the boat....love. ;)




So the playroom at the lake is already getting out of hand....thank you mostly to everyone in the KC area who has had a garage sale in the last 4 years.  Grammie was probably at your garage sale AND bought some things for this room!  I already had to have Salvation Army come! 7.5.18



Jarrod and Ash had the after 4th party!  We tried to light all the fireworks we didn't get to the day before.  Bu....the police came and shut us down.  It was fun while it lasted!

 

 



 
 
THEN there was the last DAM party.  All those boats are full of adults only, tied up to hang out for the last party until that dam behind the boats is taken out and the lake expands.  I swear it is one party to the next for the lake dwellers that live there all year!  Fun!
Arriving at the Last Dam Party....
 
 Leaving the Last Dam Party!  Dedicated party people at the lake!
Jaaten had her first sleepover ever with Gracie (because I don't do sleepovers) ad she was so excited.  Lib even did little girl facials for them.  Needless to even say but Jaaten LOVES Libby! 7.7.18 


 Just anther lake day!  7.9.18
Buzzing around on the golf cart from dock to dock to swim. ;)

Lake Trip Summer 2018 Part 1

Everyone had fun at the lake this summer!  Jaaten learned to wakeboard and was in the ski show which she was SO excited about!  The boys were so much more fearless swimming and jumping off the dock.  They still don't care for tubing or even want to TRY to ski or wakeboard.  Someday. ;)
Here are at the airport headed to KC for Round 1 of the lake! 6.11.18


Who doesn't love to get a Darth Vadar costume from their Grammie!  6.13.18
 
Back on the boat!  6.12.18
 
 Thank goodness for the Mullins dock!  Where else would we swim!  Thanks Brooke and Greg! 6.14.18
First year Steel would kayak and he loved it!  He asked me why he never did it before....HAHAHAHAHA  Chicken, Buddy!  You were too chicken!
We had another Slip-N-Slide shindig!  So fun!  So many neighbors came and nobody got hurt (too badly)  That thing is STEEP! 6.15.18 



 
 Lake days are the best days! 6.16.18

 Our sweet neighbor Luke!  Steel just loves this kid! 6.16.18
 Had to hit Sky Zone while we were in town! 6.19.18

Summer is HERE! Woohoo!

All of the kids were so excited for summer this year!  Hudson and Steel started the summer with a birthday swim party for one of their friends.  We usually have kids to our house to swim so they thought that was great!  6.5.18

 I guess the party of was fun!  Hudson in their fort!
 These sweet kindergarten teachers were absolutely amazing to both Hudson and Steel this year!  Then they showed up at our house with S'mores bags for the kids to take to the lake this summer AND this awesome sign for me.  Clearly I let a little of my crazy show when Jaafe and I were trying to get these boys through kinder!  LOL!  The sign was perfect!  I'm forever grateful to these two ladies for showing our boys such kindness, love and kinder education.  Lucky boys! 6.6.18 
 


And Mrs. Walker brought her cute girls!!  They LOVED Jaaten's iPad!
