First ever pontoon boat ride.
Leighton LOVED the boat and continually tried to hang dangerously far off the side
watching the water.
The Gibbons/Arringdale (Chris, Debbie, Addi & Kensi) families hitting the lake who kindly brought us to their family's lake house for the day (it's great to have friends with lake homes!)
Addi (left) and Ellis (right) were very brave in the water swimming around.

I'll take this one!


Ellis driving the boat with Dave (Addi's grandpa) and pointing to geese.

The simple joys of summer...playing in the sand on the beach.

Mama & Ellis playing on the beach. Just the way I grew up spending summers at the lake.
Wishing summer could go on for a few more months...










"Mama, we should really do these birthday party things more often," says Leighton (or so I think that's what's going through her head right about now).
Ellis on the left with her friend Emily (Birthday Girl)
Take home cup...check. Gift bag...check. Sunglasses...check. Zoo themed watch...check. Lollipop...check. Lets hit the road!



Ellis as "Snow White" and Leighton as "Tinkerbell"
Ellis & her daycare friend Ella. Please note Ellis is wearing knee-high brown western boots, a tutu, my dance costume top from 1976 and a tiara. Gotta give it to the girl, she has her own sense of style.


Happy Birthday, Dar! Leighton sunk her teeth into the cake right after this pic was taken.





Off to Great Grandma Hansen's house for the 4th of July

Discovered the art of waving to the parade floats for candy!
