Ward Campout at Rucker Lake

The Church owns a campground at Rucker Lake so the ward goes up every year. It is such a beautiful spot! We had a great time and the kids were absolutely in heaven.

A rare smile from Scarlett. Well, sort of a smile.


Jude and Lane Canoeing
Ivy and Mackensie became buddies
We camped next to Spencer and Marianne, Amber and Randy, Kim and Jon, and Colleen and her 3 girls. We stayed up super late talking and having a fabulous time. It was a blast! I loved getting to know everybody better.




Ivy and her friends spent a lot of time out canoeing on the lake. She loved being able to just go off and hang out with her friends without me or Jude right there next to her. She couldn't have been happier that weekend. She even somehow talked us into letting her stay an extra night with the Onstines, which totally stressed Jude and me out. Neither of us could sleep that night worrying, but she was fine and had the best time ever!

Some of the boys dared each other to swim across the lake. So Jude, Spencer and Brandon (and I can't remember who else) swam all the way across to the other side to the rope swing and then back. It was cute. Jude is not really a swimmer, so I know it wasn't easy for him, but he did it! That was his Tough Mudder workout for the weekend, I guess. Such a fun weekend! Can't wait until next year.

Lost Tooth/Boating with the Baddleys

It was a little bit premature....but Lane lost his first tooth! He was wrestling with his friend Jack at a soccer party. All of the sudden he came walking over crying and dripping blood with his tooth in his hand. After he calmed down, he was really proud. He said, "mom, that totally didn't even hurt." He's so funny.






We have been chosen! We got to go wake boarding with the Baddleys a couple weeks ago. It was super fun. We love them. I only got a few shots so here they are...

it was so fun watching Steve do all of his tricks.
