Birthday Weekend

This weekend we went to the lake and celebrated birthdays...not mine although this sweet metal flower was gifted to me by my MIL for my birthday. We celebrated my sister in law's birthday and my father in law's birthday. August and September are birthday months for us. Between the two we celebrate six birthdays!

Here is Aunt Reen holding Quinnie.
(She turned the big 35!)

We celebrated by eating out at a fun little Mexican restaurant in the nearby lake town, enjoying a boat ride with Grandpa Tom to Flat Rock Beach (wish I'd had my camera...thousands upon thousands of perfectly smooth and flat rocks...so cool!), swimming in the cool lake water and visiting a few artist's studio on a local art tour.

Our boat....we are the only ones in the family without a motorized fun boat! Although we think our little raft is pretty darn fun!

I finally finished Addison's little quilt. I just had the binding to stitch up and it made for a fast ride to the lake. She is wrapped up in it here because she had gotten ALL of the clothes we brought to the beach wet.

Here is a finished shot of it....

Now I have a mountain of laundry to do, a very messy house to clean and three little babes to watch after. However, my Momma is taking the two oldest later this week for a few days....projects a comin!
