Toddle Along Tuesday/ Home



Welcome if you are from Toddle Along Tuesday! Hope you enjoy the blog.

Sorry for the lack of posting lately, we had Jeff's family in town. We have been around a lot of family in the past month. It is a lot to handle when I am just use to the three of us and the occasional family visitor. But we now have a break for a couple of weeks, thankfully.

I haven't really been able to write much about when we went to Table Rock Lake, but I would like to say I consider this my home away from home.


I don't consider Lee's Summit my home anymore, it is just were family lives. But the lake, is my home. I love going there. I was really excited to go on a real boat ride this year. If I didn't have little baby with me I would have laid down on the floor and fallen asleep, like I did so often as a kid. I love the lake because it reminds me of my grandpa, and all the memories of being a kid at his lake house. I love just floating with a life jacket in the lake, it is so relaxing. It is one of the times I feel fully relaxed. I wish I could go there more often but once a year is nice. If I was ever to move back to Missouri, which I think there is probably a 1% chance of that happening, it would have to be to Table Rock Lake. The idea of looking out a window a seeing the lake is wonderful.

Hopefully someday I can live on a lake in Colorado, that would be very nice as well. I think you could consider me a true Lake Rat, and I am hoping little baby will be one as he grows up. The idea of him running on the dock to jump into the water excites me. I hope he takes from me and loves water and the lake, which is the opposite of his daddy. We will have to see.

Vacation

So if you read this, you may have noticed I have been slacking on the posting lately.  This was a combination of moving and a vacation.

We are all moved in and are working on getting everything situated, can I just say we have way too much crap.  And we got rid of a lot before we moved, it is pathetic the amount of stuff we have.  Some stuff that Jeff insists we keep that he hasn't touched since we moved.  But anyway, we have a lot of rearranging to do.


And then I went on a vacation with my family, Jeff decided not to join us.  We went to Table Rock Lake in SW Missouri.  This was the lake that my grandpa had a house at when I was growing up.  Because of this I love this lake, it is one of my favorite places to go.  One of my Dad's brother and his family also went.  It was a very nice and relaxing trip.  I didn't really want to leave but I know we will be going back next year.  I am already looking forward to it.  While at the lake I swam in the lake, the pool, rented a boat, jumped off a cliff, drove a jet ski, and went to Silver Dollar City.

 Harley and Skylee in the pool, my niece and nephew.

And once we returned from the lake I had just enough time to stop by and see Henry, my other nephew.  


And that is about how many pictures I took the whole time, I kept forgetting about my camera.  

I also took a couple videos of Henry that you can see at my YouTube page.
