Life is made of great friends and great memories...

...and we are lucky enough to have BOTH!!

We just got back from a weekend at the lake with our friends the Fisher's and the Imboden's! We had a blast and made tons of GREAT memories!!

Of course I took a billion pictures (I seem to be getting worse and worse about that), and I am not very good about narrowing them down, so here it goes!!  

This is the only shot I was in, but here I am with all FIVE girls on Saturday morning...Hadley, Seville, Evie, Alyson and Gracyn!
It wasn't long before we needed a cookie break!
Best Buddies having a snack!
All the girls dunkin' their cookie sticks!
You are never too young for a friendly game of ladder golf!
Seville has great form already!
And look at the arm on Gracyn!
The big girls decided to race down the slip-n-slide while the little girls were napping!
Cutie pies!




I had to catch Jeremy napping!  It is his favorite "sport!"
When the little girls woke up they wanted to join the slip-n-slide fun!  Here is Seville looking ever so determined!
If your sister is in the way...just slide under her!  No problem!
Evie loved taking a few steps on the slide and then falling down!
She got the biggest kick out of it!
Drink break!
Little Miss Blue Eyes!
Funny girl!
Spraying down the slide with Uncle Jer!  
Strike a pose!


Another blue eyed cutie!

Hose fun!



Little Buddies!
I am not sure where Seville and Gracyn learned to water, but I wouldn't hire them anytime soon.  Here they are watering a dead leaf...
...and then under the slip-n-slide (which had plenty of water under it already!)
Cute garden girl!
Snow cones have become our favorite afternoon snack at the lake.  The snow cone machine that my Dad got Hadley for Christmas is working out GREAT!





What a BEAUTIFUL girl!!  These are all straight out of camera, natural beauty pics!!


Daddy's Girl or a Girl and her bestest Daddy!!  You pick!
Kyle and Evie!
Kelly (and little baby Allie on the way!!)
Look at those eyelashes...they get them from their daddy!
Seville loves to swing on the dock...can you tell!
Ring Around the Rosie...water style!
Seville gets such a kick out of seeing her daddy jump in the water!
The daddies and their BIG girls!
Sweet kisses for mommy! (Gracyn and Kristi)
Cute shot #1 (Daddy and his BIG girl!)
The little girls love pushing each other on the dock swing!
I see you Gracyn!
Safety FIRST!
The daddies and the big girls decided to swim out to the bouey!
Hadley swimming back from the bouey with her freestyle stroke!
Kyle and Evie!
Even without the master chefs, Susie and Jim, we were pretty proud of ourselves for putting together an excellent fish taco dinner!!
Kristi, Kyle, Kelly and Evie!
Jeremy, Seville and Scott!
Hadley and Alyson!
Goin' on a Mayfly hunt...
...gonna catch a big one!!  (FYI...the Mayflies were out in swarms this weekend, but the little girls didn't mind at all!  At one point they were going after them with a fly swatter and a water gun!)  Too funny!
Jeremy's early evening siesta while Kristi and I played a friendly game of ladder golf!!
Scott decided to make a fire in the fire pit after the little girls went to bed, and it was a lot of fun!

The big girls loved dancing around the fire!
It felt so nice to sit by the fire that we decided to lay out beside it for a bit!  Oh, I forgot...I am in this picture too!!  That means I made it into two shots this weekend!  This brought back such great memories of camping!
Hadley, Alyson and I all snuggled up!!  It was kind of chilly, so the fire felt so good!
We started today by tubing over to the Schwindt's new lake house!  Kristi rode with Hadley and Alyson on the way there!

Gracyn helped Uncle Scott drive the boat!
Evie was ever so stylin' in her sunglasses!
Then Evie decided to take a turn driving!
We picked up Amy and Cooper and went out for another ride!
Cute shot #2 (Daddy and his little girl!)
Amy with the 5 year olds!
NO HANDS!
The little girls snuggling with Kristi!

Coop!
Aaron doing the "Scott Skinner Special" as he called it.  I love Amy in the background with the kids.  I wish you could zoom in to see the look on her face.  I did and it is priceless!
Scott doing the "Scott Special!"
Everyone swimming off the Schwindt's new dock!
Evie getting ready to ride the tube back home!
Little Peep!  (aka Corinne!)
Kyle and Evie getting ready for Evie's first tube ride!
She loved it and kept asking to go faster!
She even did "no hands" like the big girls!
Sydney, as usual, loves all things involving the lake!  Here she is riding on the boat!
