Matthew and I took the little ones to the lake tonight to hang out with the older kids. Eddie and Kristina have enjoyed their summer hangin' at the lake with friends. Enjoy the photos. We always enjoy the calm waters, watching the ducks swim by, and playing with the kids in the water. Oh what fun!
Connor watching the birds fly by. He loves going to the lake but won't get off the blanket because he doesn't like the feel of the grass on his feet. He's teething a lot lately so he makes funny faces with his mouth and tongue. In the first picture he looks like a fish. Too funny! 
While Kaitlyn and Dad wash the car....do the boys offer to help? Of course not, its light saber time. They must defeat those on the dark side. Here's Clayton and his best friend Logan. They love to play Star Wars.
Lord Clayton has been destroyed
Eddie decided to join in on the war....oh and we can't forget Sadie. She includes herself in every game.
Kaitlyn is such a great helper. She wanted to help dad wash the car. She did a great job.
Ok, so we decided it was time to trim the lower branches off the trees in the back and it reminded Clayton of Christmas when we go cut down a tree. Well, he decided to help. Here's Clayton's coming up with a plan 
Hi everyone, yep, Kristina is officially 16. Wow, where has the time gone. She even started driver's ed this past week and I gave her her very first driving lesson. She did quite well considering she's never driven before, and I was amazingly calm. Except for today when I had her drive a bit on the highway, yes, I was very nervous. I think Matthew can handle the lessons on the highway, I'll stick to the roads. Well, Kristina wanted to go check out SONIC for her birthday dinner. It was actually very good, great onion rings. And the Sonic dude was even there and the crew came and sang happy birthday. Our little girl is growing up.
