Another Camanche Trip

We headed up to Camanche on Thursday night so we could spend a couple of nights at the lake.

Here is Joe relaxing with his cute little boy!

Juan and sweet little Savannah

Uncle Juan took both girls tubing- here he is with Scarlett!

And now he's with Chloe

Whoa!!

Jumping to Daddy!

Scarlett loved playing in the boat and holding the flag!

Fun times on the boat!

Juan's turn!

Me next!

Not sure how he did it, but he's sleeping like this!

Chloe tickling Eli's feet

Woo Hoo Nicole!!

Had to put this one on! Love the expression, Nicole!
This was just after she had asked if she made any funny
expressions when she wakeboarded... I think, maybe you do!

Happy 22nd Birthday Nicole!!

Blowing out the candles...

with a little help from Scarlett!

The twins just enjoyed a cupcake!

Cute little Mia

I thought this was hilarious!!
Unfortunately for Scarlett the cap
was still on!!!

Elijah was SOOO tired!

Luke, Jim, Alyssa, and Mia

Cari, Juan and Savannah

An Afternoon at the State Fair!

Last week we spent an afternoon at the State Fair! I look forward to going every year, and it's even more fun now that the kids can enjoy it too!

Grubbing down on a cheese stick!

Good Stuff!

Thirsty Boy!

Now that they've eaten they're ready to roll!

Chloe got to milk a goat!!

Checking out the Sturgeon

Trying to pet the adorable piglets

Chloe and Joe pose for American Gothic!

A couple of happy seals!!

Holding a bird!

Elijah LOVED the baby chicks! I should have
taken a video of this because he was so cute
shrieking and pointing at the little chicks!

These guys were CrAzY!!

Fancy Feet!

I couldn't resist taking these pictures of Elijah in Chloe's dress up shoes!

He's so proud of himself

He loves doing whatever Chloe does!

A couple of cute feet!

This is what potty training looks like at our house...

Looks like fun, huh!! Well, I have to tell you, it's not!!! Although, the good news is that Chloe is pee trained, just not poo poo trained! UGH!! Why she doesn't go poo in the toilet is beyond me! Any suggestions or thoughts on this would be appreciated! :) I'm getting sick of the sink looking like this!

Triathlon

Last Saturday Nicole and I did another super sprint triathlon together. It was super fun and a great way to get some exercise in on a Saturday morning! Nicole was nice enough to hang back with me, which made it even more fun!

Here she is before the race setting up her gear!

The two of us! (Not sure what's going on with my mouth... I think I was saying something when the picture was snapped)

Here's Nicole finished with the swim!

I'm not too far behind!

Somehow they missed getting a picture of Nicole on her bike... She must have been zooming!! :)
But that's me!

Finishing the run together!!

Yay! We did it!!
What a great way to bond with my little sis!
