One night we drove the boat out to the middle of the lake and all jumped in and went swimming, with our life jackets on of course! We are still laughing about this picture. One of the nights we were there the jet ski died while Jeremy was out with it, so it had to be towed back by another boater. Well then the very next night something happened to the boat, and the boat had to be towed in by another boater as well. We were already wondering what the neighbors were thinking and wonde...

I can't believe how easy Myah has been to potty train now that i finally stayed with it. She likes all the attention she gets from her 2 big sisters when she goes like the big girls. She is doing a great job!!
