Luke's Lake Fun!

I LOVE THE LAKE!!

I love jumping off of the dock into the water!


I love it when my Daddy throws me up in the air and I fall in the water!

I don't love it when my shorts come down as he throws me up in the air.

I love fishing with my Granddad!

I love fishing with my Scooby Doo fishing pole!

AND I LOVE IT WHEN I CATCH A FISH!! (See the fish in front of Daddy's leg?)

And I love it when my sissy gives me a congratulations hug after I catch a fish!

Did I mention that I love going to the lake? Happy Summer!

My Wedding!

I have exciting news to share with all of my family and friends! I got married during our Lake Party weekend! (It was, of course, the best time since our families were already together!)

Please allow me to caption our wedding and honeymoon (Hawaii, people!) snapshots!

Thomas: Oh, ok, I guess I do.

TK: Of course, you do! We're made for each other and our families already get along so well. Don't I look pretty in my veil... and my Belle pajamas?

Thomas: You are the most beautiful Princess Bride!

Luke: I wore my best tux! C'mon, Addie, it's time to dance!

Addie: I hope they play "At Last" for their first dance. (Cause you know, they are 4 yrs. old)

Thomas: Um... I'm supposed to lead.

TK: (singing) Celebrate Good Times, C'mon!

TK: We've arrived at the Four Seasons Maui (aka Grandmother and Granddaddy's driveway) and are headed for the pool.

Thomas: Glad we brought our hats. Please tell me you remembered the 100 spf sunscreen.

TK: Of course, I did, silly. That's one of the reasons you married me.

TK: This was at the steak house at our first married dinner.

Thomas: Steak was yummy!

Thomas: Aloha from the Luau!

TK: We can't wait to celebrate our first anniversary. We're coming back to Hawaii again, right honey?

Thomas: Yes, my bride!

(Isn't pretending the MOST fun?!!!)

Lake Party!!

So last weekend? We had a LAKE PARTY!! Our friends from church came with us to Grandmother and Granddaddy's house and we... let's just say that it was a weekend to remember!

We had so much fun that I think I'll have to do at least 4 or 5 blog posts about it - we don't want to overwhelm you with all the excitement!

Here's Daddy and Momma and the Daddy of the family, Pat. (He's going to be very important in tomorrow's post!).

And here's Mr. Pat's family (and my friends!) Thomas and Addie, with their Mommy, Tammi -

We love our friends!

Daddy let me drive the boat!!

And then Daddy helped Lukey with the right bait for fishing! (Yes, folks, he caught a fish. Picture coming later in the week!)

Then Thomas started fishing -

But before long we had to get ready for more boat riding!!

Of course, there was loads of actual swimming time!

I know you'll agree that one of God's greatest blessings to us is spending time with family and friends!

Wait til you see what I have to show you tomorrow!!
