Tuesday on the lake

Nothing finer than hitting the lake after work on a random Tuesday. We were the only ones around. Weather was beautiful, water was pretty still. We watched a deer drink from the lake (my deer calls lured her out!) It turned out to be a night of firsts. Logan took his first attempts at diving and a front flip. Lucas finally jumped off the back of the boat. We have been trying to get him to do this forever! As predicted...he loved it! Kale did the same. Kale also road the tube by himself. Not a big lover of the tube. None of the boys are. Lucas won't do it. Logan will as long as we don't exceed 13 miles per hour. They are real dare devils.

Avery's new Trick

She's rolling over...both directions. Back to tummy and tummy to back. Anytime you lay her down she flips right over. Only one other kid of my did things so easily and so quickly. His name starts with an L.U.C.A.S. I hope this isn't foreshadowing anything!

Pool Opening

We opened the pool for the season. It was a little cold but we just fired up the heater and warmed it right up. Had to really shock it this year. Kids are swimming like fish. Don't even have to worry about them in the deep end!

Reversible Kimono Dress

My latest sewing adventure. I think I love each new dress I make better than the last one. This one she might be able to wear this winter with a onsie underneath it and some tights. It's reversible as well.

Baseball Band

You might think it's a bracelet but band makes it sound much more manly. The boys and I made these today. Can't take credit for the idea though. It was super easy however, a leather cover is a must.

Much Better

Now that Avery is home with Dad most of the time, she rarely has much than a plain ol' onsie on. Boring. Ave will just have to wait until the weekend to feel pretty. This is much better.

Never gets old

We have definitely gotten our money's worth out of the gator. Now we have to rotate drivers. Logan will still wedge his 8 year old body into the drivers seat. The gator's hanging in there and still providing lots of entertainment.

Starving artist finds new canvas

It's been over a month since she's been here but she leaves a lasting impression!
