Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to the best husband and father we could ever ask for! Nick wanted to go to Red Lobster for dinner. He and Ben enjoyed endless shrimp. Conner stuck to his cheeseburger but then surprised us by asking the waitress if he could try some crab legs! He ate them (after Nick cracked them open) and reported he liked the crab meat but it wasn't his favorite! It was a fabulously entertaining dinner, followed by a few presents! Happy Birthday my love!

 

RVTV...

Conner and Ben went to Conrad yesterday to spend a couple nights with Mama and Papa. Today RVTV was in Conrad for an event, so they went to check it out!

 

Saturday...

Nothing like some good down time on a Saturday afternoon!

 

Naptime...

Conner has gotten into a (bad) habit of taking an afternoon nap this summer. Every once in a while, Ben will get a picture of him and send it to me while I am at work. This is today's picture!

 

Finally!

We FINALLY made it out to Lake Delhi today! Nick and I took the day off work and we all headed out to the lake. We enjoyed exploring the area, did a little fishing, and had lunch in the boat. It was glorious! In the mid-afternoon, we decided we had enough sun, took one more ride down the river, and then we ran out of gas! It was a fiasco, but if you have to be stranded somewhere, the lake is the place to be! We eventually made it to a local marina, bought some gas, and were ready to be done. Unfortunately, the motor still would not start! We continued trolling back to the dock and luckily we made it back safely. We got everything loaded up and figured out that there was an air lock in the fuel line. (Nick got that fixed later!) It was an eventful day, maybe not as relaxing as we had planned, but still a wonderful day at the lake with our family!

 

 

Week Away...

Ben and Conner were able to spend the week with Nana and Gramps! Their cousins were also there, so Nana and Gramps had a full house. The kids all enjoyed their time together so much! Conner sent me a picture of himself climbing the rock wall which was very scary for him, so we were really proud that he overcame his fear to try this. Thank you to Nana and Gramps for showing the kids such a great time all week!

 

Lunch...

I was able to work from home today and was actually available to make lunch for these guys! They have been eating sandwiches and cereal for lunch all summer, so I felt like some homemade macaroni and cheese was necessary!
