The Lake

One of our favorite places to go is my parents lake house in the Ozarks. We go every summer and have such a good time. We like to go boating, jet skiing, water skiing and swimming. Dad and I also go fishing every morning! This year Landon had a great time and was absolutely fearless. His favorite thing to do was jump off the dock into the water and swim in the lake. Here are some pictures from our trip.

This is all 3 of us swimming in the lake, but it was so hot outside that the lens on the camera fogged up so it isn't the best picture.

4th of July

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!

We went to Taylorville on the 4th of July with Matt's family. Tim and Lori took all of us out to the lake on their pontoon boat. It was a lot of fun. We had a good time hanging out with almost all of Matt's family for the day. We came back to Sherman late afternoon and attempted to watched fireworks at Matt's parents house. However, they were too loud for Landon so he only saw a couple before heading in.

Sherman

We spent a few days in Sherman before we headed to the lake. Landon loves swimming and had so much fun in the pool. He swims on his own with his water wings and loves it. He loves to splash and jump in. He even went under on his own and loved it. He is getting so big. Enjoy the pics!

Downs and Lincoln

While we were at home, we got to spend a little time in Downs with Jeremy, Cindy, Adelin and Chloe. Landon loves his cousins and had a great time playing with them. Here are some pictures from our trip to Downs. Enjoy!

Landon loved swimming at my parents house. He is fearless and even went down the slide all by himself! What a big boy!

We were able to see my friend Angie, and her twin girls, Macy and Maggie. Angie looks great and the girls are absolutely adorable. Landon loved playing with them. We had a hard time getting pictures of everyone, but here are some attempts.

This is the best picture of all 5 of us!

Matt's Family

When we got home from Sesame Place and Ocean City, Matt's family came to stay with us for a few days. We had a blast and Landon loved all the attention he got! Thanks for coming to visit! Here are a few pics from their visit.

Landon and I came home with Matt's family a few days early to hang out in Lincoln. We got to meet up with Chuck, Michelle, James and Sophia in Chicago on the way home. The kids had fun playing together and it was great to see them.
