A wonderful day at the lake!


Our first morning on the lake 7/31/10 we get to wake up and drink coffee with this view!


The hammock was fun all weekend! Katja and Luella giggling away.


Kaiden, Nico and Katja played a lot during the weekend.


Nico, Samuel and Rod taking us for a spin on the lake.


Kyla, Luella and Katja enjoying the ride!


Luella and Katja coping with the wind we created in their own ways.


We all moved to the back for a bit and Nico fell asleep with the rocking of the boat.


The girls and I enjoying our ride.


Rod let Luella drive us around!


Back at the dock, Jeni helped Katja get used to the water with Elly swimming nearby.


Oliver scared Afton off the dock!


Katja was all dressed and ready to go swimming!


Samuel taking Katja and Oliver for a ride!


Luella loved riding on the raft.


Afton, Katja and Elly taking the elevator up the hill from the lake to the house.


We played soccer/futball and Katja got a nice bruise on her forehead.


That night we drove into town and watched a band perform in the park. Katja, Afton, Debbie, Rod, Luella, Elly, Kaiden, Nico, Oliver, Jeni and Samuel.

We did see Ian at night, but didn't have the camera out then. Watching Jeni's nephews and nieces grow up sure does show how fast time flies. Ian was a toddler when we started college and now he drives! Taylor was playing in a softball tournament in Austin and had her youngest sister Nicki and her parents with her, so we didn't get to see everyone.

We're all playing down at the lake. Elly was trying to jump and do a 360 rotation off the dock. We're all giving her pointers!

KIDS!

Luella picked out her own outfit. She was cold, so long sleeves and pants. Then she was hot, so flip-flops. She loves her hat, so that worked in her mind too. Katja just looking cute, so had to take her picture too! Bath time for the girls and Luella decided that making Katja's hair stick straight up means she's a boy. We really don't know where she gets this from! Sorry if you're offended by the baby nudity/ inadvertent mooning.

Tim plays Army in WV.

Image
This is the Center for National Response. It's right off I-70 in West Virginia. It was part of the interstate, but the tunnel thru the mountain was too difficult for the state to maintain , so they let people train in there. They can make it rain, blow wind up to 40 mph, fires, explosions, all kinds of awesome training. Here's Tim's company at the entrance to the tunnel. Tim was playing Army while we were hosting Ginger before her big move. Tim and April Miller - team leaders discussing their missions from the day. Tim and his company commander, MAJ Alex Lovase discussing football, or something. Take cover! They have paintball gun attachments to their weapons so you can see where you got hit. One of the missions was to rappel down this hill... Then wade thru this tunnel for 1/4 mile in icy cold water to get to the objective site... As you can see, it was a really long day. Tim was the commander for this mission. The Soldiers had to traverse thru a collapsed tunnel....

Early Birthday Celebrations! (8/6/11)

Image
Kyla found Goobers sleeping on Kati's diaper changing table this morning. He was so cute laying there, Kyla had to get the girls in on a the picture too. We decided to spend this Saturday afternoon celebrating Kati's birthday. We went to see Cars 2 in the movie theater. It was cute, but like most sequels, the original was better. Kati had a coupon for a free meal to Famous Dave's. It came with a Roman candle! Look at the shocked expression on her face with the BIG CANDLE! Kati tried to blow out her candle, but it just wouldn't stop! Luella on the other end of the flames wondered if she really needed her eyebrows! This kid loves her ice cream! Happy early 3rd birthday Katja Johanna!
