Father's Day & Girls Lake Weekend

I had the pleasure this past weekend to spend the weekend with the girls at our friend Amy's amazing lake house.  It was so nice & relaxing & the perfect weekend although we have had it planned for months & realized the week before it was Father's Day.  So Sunday morning I got up early & headed home so I wouldn't miss that important day!

Side note:

{I have a ton of pictures on Instagram which reminds me, who that follows my blog is an "Instagrammer"?  I would love to know because these days it's so much fun for me to just upload a quick picture there throughout our day.  Blogging has taken a toll on me as far as finding the time to blog, but I won't stop since it's my life journal.  Just curious if you all Instagram out there.  I may be addicted...}


Okay, so we started off Friday night being in the Kitchen, breaking in the trampoline on the lake, enjoying sweets, listening to country music, laughing until our tummies hurt, sitting on the porch, listening to the deer through the woods, & being scared of daddy long leg spiders!  It was also Amanda & Amy's Birthday's  this coming week so I gave them so fun presents!  They both got a set of Lily & Laura bracelets & some cute scarves!  I got them a cake from Shelby Lynn's too that we ate Saturday!

How pretty is her lake resort!?  These are pictures when she first built it because stupid me didn't catch a ton on my camera because I was busy with my feet up looking out this window when I had the chance! =)





My room had a huge glass window wall that woke me up to the sun shining in & seeing nature!


We thought it would be a good idea to go jump on the lake trampoline!  Every time we would jump up we would fall down... good laughs!


Getting there & cooking some dips!


Ready for some lake fun!


Saturday was a big day for us!  We took the boat out & parked it & enjoyed lunch & relaxing in the water!  Then we went to pick up our wake board instructor!! We hired a guy to teach us on the lake all afternoon &  we had beyond a good time! He was amazing at teaching!!!  I am so sore I can barely walk still & it's been 2 days!

Enjoy our fun lake day!











We love you Sean!  Thanks for helping us learn to wakeboard!







And I'm up!



Im laughing because I realized my bottom's were about to fall off from being pulled out of the water!











Afterwards we all enjoyed burgers at JJ's on the lake!






We made Chad a huge breakfast for Father's Day, spent the morning with him, lunch with his dad & then dinner at my parents!  We snapped a few pictures at my parents with Dad & the babies!


Can you believe how huge Avery is?  She is so tall we can barely hold her!  I still rock her sometimes just because...



We got Daddy some clothes & Avery made him this sweet sign & we framed it!  =)   


It was a great weekend!  In the words of my favorite show, Duck Dynasty- I'm "Happy Happy Happy"!

  3. Hey Girl!
    I am a new instagram addict too and we actually started following each other last week! Love your blog, but I totally understand the time it takes. I have one too that I use as our baby/life scrapbook, but I just do not have the time I used to/want to! Instagram is a good fix! Avery is so precious!!! I have a 3 year old daughter too! It is such a fun age!
