Welcome Natalie! She was born August 5th, the same day as Bekah's birthday!

This year, the Lakes consisted of:

5 million grandchildren:

Golfing:

Lots and lots and lots of games:

...and of course boating/volleyball/etc....my family is huge!

After a week at the Lakes, I had to say goodbye to my roomie :(

Her goodbye party was fun though:

(this is seriously how sweaty the men got playing basketball after supper: ewwwwww!)

Tractor Pull/Hick Event

It's loud. And smokey. And very very hillbilly. Basically, trucks and tractors with huge eniges pull this weight across the dirt. I enjoyed the experience, but concluded it to be rather boring. At least I was with some great people!

 on a side note, here's a random pic of us teachers at the school. Next week is Sarah's last week. It's sad to see her go :(
