Vacation #2

We spent a week in the beginning of July at our cabin in Ellington, Mo. (really it's my grandma's cabin, but we all get to use to it) Most of the days were spent shuffling our family from boat to boat on Clearwater Lake. We saw almost every member of my extended family at some point during the week, the most being 15 or so people under one roof (a fairly small roof at that). It was an absolute blast, lots of laughing, lots of sleep and tons of water.

Brootie

We had a nice visit from Jaimie and Brootie last week for a few days. Jaimie watched Alexis during the day and we got Brooke for an evening, (let that fabulous baby swapping begin.. love it). It's so so nice when the girls get to spend some time together. I wish with all my heart that we all lived in the same city, but we are doing our best to keep them close. Love you girls!!

Ozarkland

Here a few photos to accompany the visit to Lake of the Ozarks last weekend..


Grandpa Denbow and Lex


Grandma Lynn, Lexi and Maxine

Yes,, first ride on a jetski

New friends

We spent the weekend at the Lake with my grandpa. We got to spend some time with my (are you ready for this..) Grandpa's wife's son's family. Michael and Cassandra have a daughter, Maxine, who is 6 months younger than Alexis. Here is a video that Mike took of the girls dancing to some disco. Love this!

Lil Visitor

Last week Mati and Amy came to visit for the day. They got to spend the night with us so the girls could spend some quality time together. Mati is getting so big and so fun. Tim and I can already tell what great friends Lexi will have with all of her baby girl cousins. Love this photo from that night...

Almost two

Wow, It's really hard to believe but Alexis will be two in a matter of weeks. While we really enjoy watching her grow and learn more every day, I miss my little baby sometimes. This morning when we were walking downstairs to start our day she, out of nowhere, said "Mommy's so pretty." I almost died. I love that little girl.


Our first clue that the big T-W-O is almost here was Ishaan's second birthday party last weekend. Ishaan's mom and I were pregnant together almost the entire time. She had Ishaan six weeks before Alexis was born. Happy 2nd Birthday Ishaan!

A few comparisons

We've been to Ft. Myers Beach twice in the last two years, both times in June. I thought it be fun to see how much Alexis has changed in the last year.

Yes. That is the exact same ice cream shop and bench, both years.
