WAY BEHIND!!!

I am way behind in updating my blog because my camera is broken(Big shocker I know). So the only pictures I have are ones that friends have taken for me. Although we missed the first day of school pictures the kids are still cute and loving school. Cameron is the oldest in the school this year in fifth grade and is a great big brother to Nate (2nd grade) and Lexi who started kindergarden this year. Lexi is loving school and her teacher. They are all doing great. Tyler started middle school this year and is amazing us all. he is getting straight A's with over 100% in three of his classes and taking 7th grade math. He is loving it even though he is the youngest in the school again. One of our new favorite things to do is to the lake. We don't really have any close so when we go we make a day (or 2) out of it. We went a few weeks ago with some great friends that helped make the day awesome. We waterskied, tubed, knee boarded, jumped off the top of the pontoon boat and had a blast. My friend Ashlee took some great pictures so here are a few. Tony driving the Pontoon Boat! Of course Nate had to catch SOMETHING!! He found a frog! Geoff and Mac driving the boat! Thanks for pulling us all over the place Geoff and sacrificing your time to do it. I know you hated it! Could my legs be any BIGGER!!! Yikes.I hate the picture but love the memory! Ashlee, Linda and I had to try tubing! It was a blast and I think we all got a pretty good laugh. especially when I tried to pull myself back up onto the tube after falling off. My upper body strength just isn't what is use to be. OK it was never there! Such a great time though and I can't wait to do it again. Cameron got up his very fist time water skiing. He was a pro. He started on the shore and stayed up for a long time then after he fell he tried to get up in the middle of the lake and popped right up. He did great and is excited to try again. Thanks everyone for a great day, great friendships and great memories. Cant wait to do it again! P.S. Thanks Ashlee for the pictures!
