4th of July 2011

We spent the 4th of July at the lake with friends. Playing in the water, boating and having a great time - the beautiful weather was great too! Jaxon loved digging in the sand and playng with his "friends". Jason and I always agree, there is just nothing quite as relaxing as being at the lake. I think our boat was probably the best purchase we have ever made! We didn't make it to watch any fireworks - Jaxon was thoroughly worn out from all the playing and was asleep long before it was dark enough for fireworks. We are looking forward to next year when we're sure he will be into the fantastic light shows of the fourth of July!

First Starbucks

As most people who know us know, Jason and I love Starbucks! Most of our days start with a visit through the drive through. So, one day on our way to the lake, Jaxon was completely surprised and actually ecstatic when we handed him his very own Starbucks (of course it was just whole milk) but he was all smiles! I loved it when I looked back and he had put it in his cup holder and was just sitting contently in his car seat - what a big boy :-)
