What do we do when it's 95 degrees outside?!

Call up Kevin and say "hey can we go swimming at your parents house?" and can you make us dinner and frozen margaritas?!

You down there dad?

Would you like a cucumber?

Hi MR. Buck, you are very pretty... I hope you can get away from my daddy this winter!

(While we were swimming a buck and doe came by to say hi...so Alaina gave them a nice HI!, but just got a glare in return!)

Mac's Sweet Corn!

I didn't think anyone loved sweet corn more than her daddy... but this little girl LOVES her corn! It only took a couple bites to figure out how to hold it, she's a pro already! Thank god it's only here for a couple months every year because I'm disgusted by the diapers already!

Couples Cabin Retreat!

This past weekend we had our first couples cabin weekend! Without kids! Everyone arrived early Friday morning for a full day of sun! The girls relaxed on the dock and in the giant floaty, while some the guys played 18 holes at the golf course. The other guys did guy stuff I guess and joined us on the floaty for a little while... Oh yeah and a few of us went skiing before cocktail hour started. Friday night Clyde's Ride picked us up and brought us to Moonlight for some dancing and more cocktails of course! Saturday the weather wasn't too nice, so the girls went shopping while the guys played bean bags and did more guy stuff... Once we made it back to the cabin we ate lunch, played pounce and then started happy hour AGAIN! We played a few games of volleyball, had a taco bar and had a few more cocktails.... There were fireworks on Saturday night on the lake so we headed down to the dock to watch the fireworks and have MORE cocktails! The fireworks were great! We headed back up to the screen porch for some cards and then some dancing! We decided to turn the screen porch into a dance floor, moved the table out, set up the music and did some crazy dancing! To get the full dance club feel, Erin flickered the lights on and off for us! This also got the neighbors attention and some of them came over to join our dance club! Since we were so hot from dancing, we needed to finish off the night with a swim in the lake and some hot-tubing @ 2am! It was a great finish to the weekend! Thanks everyone for great food, great friends and great memories! We had a blast and can't wait for next year... if Denny and Lynne let us go back! ; ) Thanks to Denny and Lynne also, everyone had a wonderful weekend!

For Jeanne!

Hi Auntie Jeanne, I'm finally wearing the adorable dress you gave me for my birthday! Do you like? I know I'm in the closet, but this is where my shoes are and I need to have them close by all the time! Hopefully my daddy will buy me as many shoes as you have!

Happy Meal!

Alaina had her first happy meal this weekend at McDonald's... She wasn't too excited about the cheeseburger, but that's ok dad only had two, so he needed another! The fries on the other hand- those were a big hit! Dunking them over and over again in ketchup and sucking it off! Is it bad that I took her to McDonald's already? The whole time we sat there I felt guilty... Probably won't be visiting old Ronald very soon again Alaina, hope you enjoyed it though!

4th of July Weekend Up North!

We took an extra long weekend trip up to Grandpa & Grandma Mac's cabin to celebrate the 4th of July! We left Thursday night and came home Tuesday night. We had lots of sun, great food, great play, a 10k and a lot of relaxation!!

Mommy started out the weekend with a 10k in Nisswa - It was VERY HOT, but thankfully there was a lake to jump in when we got back to the cabin!

Yep - that's right, my mommy's awesome ; ).......
See ya, I need some caramel rolls and a dip in the lake!
Mmmm, fresh picked wild blueberries!
