Family photos

My sister Maddie took some awesome photos for our family when we were at the lake this summer. I loved so many of them that I couldn't just post a few!

North Dakota

We went to North Dakota for two weeks in July and had so much fun! We're so grateful that my parents let us stay with them in their lake house for so long! We did SO many things while we were there. Much of our time was spent having fun on the lake.

Corinne loved driving the boat.





Corinne's first smores...and of course she loved it!
I loved mine too!
Caleb and Corinne got to watch Daddy and Papa scuba dive.
Corinne had a blast playing dress up with my cousin Carleigh's daughter Brielle. We're so sad they live so far away.
We got to spend a little time with my Grandma Johnson which was fun!
We also got to spend lots of time with Grandpa and Grandma Great.
Corinne loved helping learn how to make my grandma's famous cinnamon twists.


YUM!
Jennifer, Todd, Blake and James came to visit us in North Dakota. We had so much fun!

Todd was a pro a knee boarding!
And of course Jennifer and I were great at tubing!
We can't wait to go back again next year!

Michigan

We've been on vacation for a week now and are having a great time! We started in Michigan where we had a great time with our good friends Jennifer and Todd and their little guys James and Blake. The weather was great and of course the company even better!

Relay For Life

Relay for life was last weekend and we had such a great time! We had a fantastic team that together raised over $4500 in just two weeks, making us the number 4 team out of 66! We are SO grateful to all of the people who donated money to a cause so close to our hearts. Our local event raised over $100,000! Now let's hope and pray all that money can help find a cure!
I proudly walked the survivor lap with Corinne

Daddy and Caleb cheered us on!

Corinne was very proud of the luminaries with her name on them.

We camped out (Corinne too!) until 3am when a storm arrived. We quickly packed up and got home just before the rain hit. Regardless of the weather, we enjoyed our time remembering those who lost their lives to cancer and having hope for those currently battling.

Caleb's playtime

Keeping Caleb entertained these days is not easy! He's not that interested in toys- except for dumping them out of their containers! One of his favorite things to play with is his play kitchen- and even more than that- the real kitchen!

Working in the yard

I've been TERRIBLE about updating our blog lately! Honestly I think it's because I'm so busy chasing Corinne and especially Caleb that taking pictures is the last thing on my mind. Hopefully I'll get a little more skilled at this!

The weather has been so nice this spring that we have spent as much time as possible outside. Last weekend we worked on the yard quite a bit.

Caleb trying to help edge. Someday we'll LOVE his help!

Corinne takes responsibility for watering all the flowers. She's such a great helper!

We built raised bed gardens this year. It will be so nice having fresh veggies in our backyard!
