We love you Daddy!

We love you Daddy more than words could ever express.  You are the best daddy we could ask for.  You play outside with us, take us on walks to the park, and take us swimming.  You teach us how to drive the boat and do all kinds of projects.  You show us how to have fun and not take life so seriously all the time.  You snuggle us every day and give us lots of kisses and hugs.  We know you love us lots and lots.  Thank you for being our daddy! 

Love, Rylee & Carson

"Talk like a pirate"

Rylee had her second dance recital yesterday.  Her group danced to "Talk like a pirate."  She was so good!!!  Definitely the best of the group (I'm not biased at all).  She remembered all the moves and smiled the whole time.  You could tell that she was having a blast.  My little performer.

A weekend in Leavenworth

Lance was in Charleston (for work) for his birthday this year, so when he got home we took a weekend trip to Leavenworth to celebrate.  We'd only been there for a short trip before, so we thought it would be fun to explore with the family.  We rented a cabin about 20 minutes from town.  Lance's parents met up with us for the first night and Mandy and Jon came up for the second night.  It was so much fun.  Beautiful weather, fun family, delicious food, and new adventures.  The kids loved the trails by the river and watching the rafters and kayakers float past.  We all had fun playing on the beach and splashing in the water (although it was really too cold to go in).  The town was super cute and fun to walk through.  This may just turn into an annual trip!
