More Visitors!

We love visitors at the lake! Jessica, Casey and Avery came for another fun filled weekend. Madeleine was so excited to have a buddy to play with (besides her brother). Casey had never been on a Jet Ski before but by the end of the weekend he mastered it. And Avery got her first Jet Ski and kayak ride too!

I would love to know what in the world they are talking about: Jessica, Casey and their daughter Avery:
We got a torrential downpour Saturday night. I've never seen it rain so hard at the lake and the wind was out of control:
But the rain led to a very cozy dinner inside and the kids got their very own table:

Not Too Shabby

The few house updates we had done are, well, done. New kitchen paint, new doors, new deck stain. Being color blind really puts a kink in picking out the right shades but I think it turned out okay. I'm just glad it's done.

New kitchen paint (I love this!):

Torture Chamber

The Chamber of Torture. It's so small and looks so unassuming. But it is evil. Fear it.

Historic Badin Triathlon

Rob did his first full (as in not relay) Triathlon on Saturday June 7th. I was so proud of him and excited for him, so I dug deep into my creative genepool and came out with these.


Unfortunately I got lost getting there and missed the ENTIRE thing. I got there well after he finished and had time to rest. Yay. Luckily I got a few photos before and after.

Who's Bad?

Not this group! Wayne, Brigid and I went to see a Michael Jackson tribute band and they were beyond entertaining. It was a nice surprise since it was just a free concert at the mall. Whoda thunk?

He's a man of many different looks:

This is getting ridiculous.

It's Getting Hot in Herrr

It is far, far, far too hot here.

Tip of the Day

If you are going to squeeze your big ol' butt into a fancy dress and dance like a fool then be prepared for this to happen.


Big hugs and endless thanks to my Fairy Godmothers - Aunt Priscilla and Aunt Ree for sewing me into my dress.

I Love Family Weddings

It's been a while since I've been to a family wedding so it was such a treat to see everyone for such a festive occasion. As usual with my family there was lots of dancing, lots of smiling, and tons of laughing.
