Almost Wordless Wednesday

I have to admit, I'm a little embarrassed to put this picture on here but without it, I would have no blog post for today. So, my not-so-wordless-Wednesday post is all about celebrating six years hanging out with this awesome guy. Here's to our first (decent, normal, not weird) picture together!

The end.

Joplin-Round 2

I'm so excited to announce that I'll be traveling to Joplin to volunteer for Extreme Home Makeover: Home Edition in October. Check it out and join me if you are interested! Seriously though, they need volunteers!

Lake of the Ozarks

The first day on the lake!

My dad, pre-injury, tubing.

 Kelsi and Emmi

 I'm convinced Dylan is fearless.

 Apparently I was a little frightened tubing, maybe it was because of my partner?

 Chris and Brenda didn't last long tubing, especially with the men driving.

Rachel and Mitch seem to be struggling here.

 One last fling on the tubes before the big bad groin injury

All things summer

Here is an unorganized recap of our family vacation to Breckenridge!

Our crafty minds don't stop on vacation--we painted pottery, twice!

 The "almost" final products!

 Luckiest girl ever.

 We hiked to a  lily pond outside of Breck. Seven of us started the adventure but as you can see, only four of us made it to the top.
