Who does that? As if one 40th birthday isn't enough, I opted for yet another celebration. Okay, not really, but my good friend, Julie, and I both share December 12th birthdays. Now, she's nowhere near 40, but what better excuse to host a fun, summer, lake party? We were blessed with a gorgeous day, "supermoon" filled evening, and lots of great friends. So, happy 1/2 birthday to us. Cheers!

 |
| Chris Kennington... |
 |
| HEY! No one invited you to our party! |
 |
| Mike tugged on this guy like he was a rope! |
 |
| By the way, I'm pretty close to Mike here. Did I mention I don't care for snakes? Plus, I'm pretty sure this one wasn't a fan of Mike, or anyone, at this point. |
 |
| Bye Bye, Mr. Black Snake. |
 |
| This platform is WAY higher than it appears (at least for someone scared to death of heights, like ME!) |
 |
| The kids were loving it, though! This is Carter. He's SIX! |
 |
| LOTS of contemplation... |
 |
| I was not a fan...so I decided to just go backwards... |
Whew. I did it!
 |
| Payton, swimming with Madi and Cali |
 |
| I still can't believe Chris Kennington created such a cute little princess! (Just kidding...you know I love you!) |
 |
| Our sweet friends, Jace and Audrey |
 |
| Okay, kids...we're jumping on THREE! 1.....2......3.....!!!!!!!!!! |
 |
| Well, some of you are jumping on three... |
 |
| Aaaaaand, Payton finally jumps in! |
 |
| Stonie and Me...I just love her! |
 |
| Baby Juliet (7 months)...I think I may love her more! |
 |
| Wally B and Terri...seriously cute couple! |
 |
| I promise we didn't make him do it! He LOVED sweeping (Mom, have you been teaching him to clean?) |
 |
| Rob, Momma Karen, Chris, Stonie, and Walter, the photobomber, lol. |
 |
| The kids all had a blast and were SO worn out! |
 |
| Andy showing the girls how to make the BEST sandcrab! |
 |
| Stonie, Heather, Our Favorite Becki, Me, Terri, and Audrey |
 |
| Griffin had a blast playing with this truck... |
 |
| He was not quite ready for bed! |
 |
| And that tongue.... |
 |
| Callie was ready for bed though! |
 |
| We had a great 1/2 birthday!! |
 |
| Griffin's first jet ski ride. And he was ALL smiles! |
 |
| Payton loved the jet ski also (I'm sure she didn't remember being on it last summer), and when we were unpacking the car, I found her on my wakeboard. Happy Momma! |
 |
| Sleeping Beauty...after a loooong weekend of fun. This was her after I had tried waking her up, several times, on Monday morning. Zzzzzzzzzz.....We're so lucky our kids adapt so well to our busy lives. I think we're all now caught up on sleep, and ready for our 4th of July beach trip next week (and ANOTHER party in 2 weekends!) Even though the summer has just officially begun, I feel like it's FLYING by! Whew. |
