Another boat trip

Jay and Michelle created boating monsters! We had so much fun out on the water in February that we went out again with them a few weeks later. What a blast. Seriously, if the weather was like that every weekend, we would be at their doorstep begging them to go out.

I purposely left my camera home this time so I wouldn't obnoxiously be in everyone's face all day long snapping pictures - well - it didn't work too well - Jay brought his camera, so I used his camera ALL DAY LONG. :) Below are a few from the day.

The water was FREEZING - they didn't stay in long.

Freezing his *&% off!

The only decent tubing pic - I had accidentally bumped the setting on the camera and the others came out really blurry - never fear - I am sure we will have more this summer!


Avery SERIOUSLY enjoying her Capri Sun


Bird chasing with the boat is always easy entertainment. :)


Yet another cheesy cheeto grin from Avery

Lee Family Visit

My good friend Katie & her family came to visit us a few weeks ago. Her husband had to come to the east coast for work, so they took a little day trip to our place. I dragged Katie around the residential downtown and we took the girls to the park. Katie showed me a few things with my camera and Photoshop and was a great help. We snapped and edited a few pics below of their visit. It was a fun day - I know Avery really enjoyed playing with AK and we had a great time just hanging out.

Boating with friends

Jay & Michelle invited us out on their boat and we are so glad we finally got to go out with them. It was one of the best days we have had in a long time. It was such a beautiful day.
Nothing like a little beer and boating to take away lifes little stresses. :)

Worst Blogger Ever!

Well, it's almost been a month and apparently this is looking like a monthly blog!! I'll try to do better over the next few weeks before we leave for our trip (sorry Nana!). :-)

Below are pictures from our DC trip.


Here is the birthday girl ready to get going on the DC tour

It was a beautiful day to fly a kite and Avery thought all the kites were pretty neat.

This picture shows our next journey - up to the Lincoln memorial.
