Lake Life!

By -
There were so many of us there that I had a hard time capturing even a portion of what was happening! There was always a group out by the water and usually another hanging out on the porch.

These kiddos had a blast together. Ryan is 10 and Peyton is 7 and they got along just great with SG and Charlie.

Lindsay was so sweet and Livy just took to her immediately. She didn't get to come with Uncle Ronnie and Chris this summer, so we were glad she made it this time.

Mallory, Lindsay, and Ryan hanging out on the boat.

Riding the raft, jet ski, water skiing, and playing on the paradise pad were lots of fun, especially when you get to do it with your cousins!





The paradise pad is awesome and Livy loves that she can walk around on it!


Livy got to try the ski trainer and even got in the water with it!

Lovie and these sweet babies. 


Lucy stays safe wearing her life jacket on the boat. She smiles just that big the whole time she rides!


Nick and Uncle Steve

The kids loved playing "king of the mountain" on the paradise pad! Sarah Graves played as hard as the boys and they loved making each other fall in the water!







Peyton was so kind and showed Lucy so much attention!

Chris enjoyed riding in the boat.



Peyton got up on the ski trainer. He was frustrated with how hard it was to get up on skis.



We managed to fit all 4 kids on the raft and they loved it!





look at my girl up water skiing! I am so disappointed that we didn't get pictures of Uncle Ronnie water skiing like a champ and Ryan getting up on skis for the first time. So much fun!

Uncle Steve and Lovie

Livy just got comfortable with all her extended family around! She would go down to the water with Uncle Steve.

Maw Maw didn't want to walk down to the water because the steps are a little tricky and it is a good ways down. We all enjoyed hanging out with her on the screened in porch and she kept an eye on everyone from up there!


We had two days to all be together and enjoy time on the water. We had great weather and lots of happy memories being together as family.

Frozen Party Details

Like most girls her age, Sarah Graves LOVES Frozen and has known for quite some time that she wanted a Frozen birthday party. I was so excited when I saw this invitation on Etsy and she loved it too! It reminded me of an infographic. The Frozen theme was a lot of fun! There were so many things to choose from that I took to pinterest and eventually decided on the ideas that I would use for this party. I found this great Arendelle banner here on Pinterest I was so grateful that my sister did a snowflake Christmas and had tons of snowflake ornaments to hang as decorations! This party theme was a lot of fun to plan the food. Kristoff's ice cubes were made from Jell-o with an ombre effect. I found the recipe here on Pinterest. I doubled the recipe to make a 13x9 size pan of it and I made 2 13x9 pans of it. The made plenty of "ice cubes" to fill 35 cups. They turned out really cute! My parents made this Elsa cake and did a fabulous job

Cloth vs. Disposable

By -
We have mostly been planning to do disposable diapers because I felt that cloth would just be too much work when I go back to work.  Then, we saw these diapers called happy heiny's ( www.happyheinys.com ).  These looked much different than what I envisioned cloth diapers to look like.  Mom used cloth diapers with me and Jeanne', so she felt totally up for using them while Sarah Graves is at her house.  I started looking into the cost comparison and depending on what type of cloth diapers you buy, you can save anywhere from $1200 - $1700.  That is pretty attractive, not to mention knowing that you aren't filling up a landfill somewhere.  There are lots of different varieties of cloth diapers out there, but the ones that seem to be a good investment and user friendly are diapers that have snap closures, with a pocket for an insert to absorb the contents, and they are one size that adjusts as your baby grows from a newborn up to 35 pounds.  You can also purchase the traditio
