Summer Fun with Lynette and Happy Anniversary

Tomorrow David and I will celebrate our 8th anniversary! I cannot believe that eight years have passed already. I have been blessed with the best husband, and I am thankful for him!

Our wedding day

Yes, we are still here! We have been busy, and I have not taken the time to post pictures. Sunday a week ago we met my sister in Virginia to bring her here for a visit. She had hitched a ride as far as 5 hours from here. It ended up having to be an over-night trip till we got her and got home again. We get to enjoy her company for two weeks.
We have been keeping her busy. I have taken the opportunity to tackle some projects while I have help. David and I have managed to get a date in too, and are looking forward to having the day to ourselves on our anniversary while Aunt Lynette babysits!

Going to get Aunt Lynette, Treyton got carsick and had a major throwing-up episode, but we got there!

Amber had "Luau" secret-friend party

For story time at the library this week, the Science center was there. The girls had fun seeing the different animals.
Here is the baby alligator.

Treyton took about three days to warm up to Lynette, now he LOVES having her around.

Rissa helped Aunt Lynette make brownies

Saturday David recruited our help to get some catch-up barn painting done

Treyton decided to try some of the paint

Sunday night we took the kids to the park. I took the opportunity to go on a bike ride with David while Aunt Lynette drove the kiddos in the van. It was a fun ride and my first long ride.

Today we took the kids to the beach. We were going to go 3 hours to the ocean, but decided to stay closer to home and go the Lake which is only 1 hour away. The girls had a blast!

We had a picnic lunch

Treyton was the only one who got tired of it after a couple hours

Playing with new friends

We ALL enjoyed stopping at Dairy Queen on the way home!!
