Teamies

 

It's not the clearest picture but I still love it!  Last night we had a wonderful dinner with our new Kindergarten teammates!  It never works out that everyone is available (and husbands too) so we were so happy to have this work out.  Thank you to Ginny for hosting, everything was amazing!  I am really looking forward to our new team!!!

Lake Life

 This summer has been nothing short of crazy.  But I have loved every second of it. This is our first full summer here at the lake and we are still learning how to navigate the whole back and forth between two houses thing but I wouldn't change a thing!

We love when friends and family come out to visit!
Oliver saved like a thousand catfish for his fishing hole.  Our stream from the lake to the fishing hole dried up a bit and Oliver spotted a bunch of catfish struggling so he asked some strangers for a bucket and transported them to larger lake!
He definitely loves fishing and nature and the lake is the perfect place for that!
It was pretty rough when the stream dried up but is has since filled in!
I am loving my afternoon iced coffees!
I finally got my picture wall all settled!
Although she will kill me if she sees this, Claire has been working at the "Shirt Shack" and loves being employeed!

I am pretty sure this is the windiest summer in history but I am still loving sitting on the beach as much as I can!
Oliver has been living his best life with these clowns!  He has a great crew of buddies here and they are together from sun up to sun down. I am so happy for him, he is making such amazing memories!
And he is pretty exhausted from all of the fun he is having!
And I can't say that I  hate taking my walks  here!

God, I love summer!!!!

JELLYSTONE

This year Claire had a lacrosse tournament (shocker) so Oliver and I were on our own to pack up for Jellystone!

It was our 11th year and it did not disappoint!
The kids definitely did more fishing and less water park this year!


Gangsters in their golf cart!

Mark loved making us breakfast!
I loved sitting around and chatting with my besties!
The boys spent a lot of time on the fire this year!


Of course Uncle Nick brought waterballoons!


I can't even believe how grown up this crew is!
This was the first time in 11 years that we had so much rain that we had to eat inside!
But the rain cleared up each night for a nice fire and movie night!


The kids were way more into catching frogs than going to the beach!
And we braved the rain and sat outside around the fire!

Ironically, the best fire we had was during the rain!
On the last night the kids and the Dads had a blast playing basketball!
Claire tried to give Oliver a middle part!


Even though this crew is getting old, they still love it here!




My babies on our first year and my babies this year!!!!


 

19th Anniversary!


Mark and I celebrated our 19th anniversary with a delicious lunch at Rick's on Main!

And a delicious dessert at Rosie's!  It has been an amazing 19 years!  I can't wait to see what the future holds!!!
 

Finger Lakes Lacrosse Tournament

We all got up ridiculously early to head out to Claire's tournament!
AND OUR GIRLS WON!!!
They played amazing!!!


So proud of our girls!!!
 

Claire's Birthday

Next up, it was time to celebrate Claire's birthday! This time it was a gorgeous beach day!



I can't even begin to deal with the fact that baby is FIFTEEN!



After a great dinner and lots of laughs we headed back down to the beach to see the amazing fireworks display!

The next day the Cappelllis came up to celebrate the 4th with us!
I finally finished my picture wall!
My obsession with iced coffee has gotten stronger so I have been making this deliciousness!

 MMMmmm!!!  So far summer has been amazing!
