Cheers!

Better late than never.

I usually aim to toast our teachers to a great start to the school year at least within the first month of school.  This year I fell two weeks behind.  I'm going to blame it on the fact that 3 of 4 them listed coffee specialties for their favorite drink.

That's not just something you can pick up the night before, stick in the fridge, and send off with your kiddos in the morning.  But, I vowed to get this done {especially since they all 100% deserved it}, it has truly been a great start to the school year!

CHEERS to some fabulous teachers who take extra special care of my babies!

Lake, Lovin', & Labor Day

Have I mentioned how much we are lovin' the lake?  Sunshine please don't go away!  I'm going to be longing for summer all fall and winter long....I can already feel it in my lake drenched bones.

Labor Day weekend was another one of those fabulous long weekends just" laking" it.  We are turning into a legit lake family.  The best part is all the friends and good times that are shared up there.

Although, Jack might say its the tube and wakeboard.

Lucy is big fan of the tube too.  Our fearless girl loves showing off.

This guy was made for the lake.  I think Shelton might actually be part fish.  If he's not in the water he  is our deck hand.  Have I mentioned we adore our new pup?

We've recently added wake boarding to our list of lake activities.  Jack is getting the hang of it, meanwhile, I can't even get up, and the girls are not interested.

We spotted a rock plunge this weekend.  The boys were all about it.  Us mamas were holding our breath.

All the while this girl remains our hood bow ornament.  She has a permanent assigned seat.

Good times!  We are checking our calendar and our weekends at the lake are dwindling.  Ugh...can't Labor Day just be year round?
