Loving on my nephew

To the Lake we go!!

Judah's next present was to go tubing at 10:00 in the morning and a lunch on the lake. Liv had barely gone tubing this year so she got to go first.

Liv rocking out :)

Just having a total blast!!

I tried to stand up, but didn't quite make it:)

We went about a mile down the lake and had our lunch in the boat.

Judah reeling in the anchor so we can head home.

To the Creamery we go!!

Our favorite place to go out for Ice cream is the Creamery. Jordan met us there on his Motorcycle.

I tried getting a good picture of me and dad but every time I smiled at the camera dad would eat my ice cream:)

Jordan and Mom enjoying the lovely evening.

Jordan gave Judah the 2010 Guinness Book of World Records. Dad and Bub were quite engrossed:)

To the fair we go!!

For Judah's birthday we decided to go to the New York State Fair, he was quite excited!

The car ride got a little interesting after sitting there for half an hour.We, or should I say Judah, got a little crazy:)

Liv and mom finally found some shade, but even though we got a little heated it was a lovely day, and after the hot week we just had we were grateful that we went when we did.

Liv and Em did not like the chicken barn at all!!

Bub looks a little unsure of himself, after they put the bar down.

Judah and I had fun on the big drop, but I must say my stomach was quite worn out by the end of the day:(

Altogether we had a lovely time.

Lobster!!!!!!

Thursday we were invited to a lobster dinner at a friends house

I was very nervous taking my eyes off the live lobster for the picture

Live mussels, clams, lobster, shrimp, sausage, potatoes, and corn all in one very big pot

Judah and Liv were very ready to dig in

Dad's dinner plate

Isn't this how you are supposed to eat lobster?

Dad and Mom relaxing on the porch that Dad helped our host build.

He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater,
He sendeth more strength when the labors increase;
To added affliction He addeth His mercies,
To multiplied trials His multiplied peace.

When we have exhausted our store of endurance,
When our strength has failed ere the day is half done,
When we reach the end of our hoarded resources
Our Father's full giving is only begun.

His love has no limit, His grace has no measure,
His power no boundary known unto men;
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus
He giveth and giveth and giveth again.
-Annie Johnson Flint.

IKEA

We all had a great time in IKEA, I think we loved the kids toys most:)

Every where you looked their were bedrooms set up and you could just walk through and get awesome ideas for your own room.

Mom and Anja in a living room, Mom found a scarf for sale and wore it over her shoulders the whole time in the store.
