Camping-Deam Lake

Here are a few favorite shots from our camping trip at Deam Lake. We loved the campsite! it was right on the water.

Ella feel asleep in the bike on our 5 minute ride to the hiking trail.

We transfered her to the backpack and she still stayed asleep.

After a cat nap she was ready to go!

Daddy and baby girl having some fun with Bryce on the sea saw.

Bryce feel asleep like this for his nap. He likes it dark!

Bryce posing for me!

Everyone looking for fish.

Daddy and Bryce enjoying the outdoors!

Painting

Mother's Day Painting and playing. The kids love to paint with water. :-)

Mini Marathon

After completing P90X Terry and I started running and training for the Mini Marathon in Indy.

Downtown before the race began.

This is a view of the start line as we approach it 20 minutes after the gun went off for the official start.

The race has begun! Here goes 13.1 miles!

A blury shot of me as we approach the Motorspeedway. We are about 6 miles at this point.

We did it!!!! Terry's first ever mini marathon and my second ever. Bum knee and all we crossed the finish line together!

Ella and Apples

Ella has found a love for apples. She is a very vocal little girl and this is one of the only ways to get some peace around here these days. :-) Give her a whole apple. She will devour the whole thing if I let her. You can't tell in this picture, but what is in her hand is all that is left from a whole apple.

I took this picture right before she giggled at me and turned away to run away from me, so I wouldn't take the apple away.

She shoved the whole thing in her mouth afraid that I would take it away from her.

This is what i got out of her mouth to give you an idea of the size that was left from the whole apple.

She currently knows where we keep the apples in the kitchen, on the island. So...she will come up to the island, stand on her tippy toes with hands on the stools, making noises waiting for us to give her an apple.

Cabin in Brown County

This weekend Bryce, Terry, Charlie, Brett, & Mike went to the Maxam's Uncle's cabin for a boys weekend! Maggie and Kelly came to our house for some girl time. Here are some pics of the boys adventure!

Cheese!

Daddy and Bryce hiking, one of their favorite things to do together!

Paddle boat or climbing gym? Either way.... it's fun for 2 year old!

Two cousins and best friends!

Bryce Mowing

Today when Terry went to mow the yard Bryce went to grab his lawn mower to help Daddy. For over a half hour he simply followed behind Terry with his own lawn mower. Wish I could have seen and/or captured this moment, but I was putting Ella down. Terry said lots of neighbors were smiling as they walked past. He definitely likes to help his Daddy.

Cupcake Fun

Charlie and Bryce have really been playing well together! It is so fun to see them with each other. I know they are going to be great friends! Below they are eating cupcakes 2 year old style at Gigi's house!

Charlie and bryce thoroughly enjoying their cupcakes!

Now this is the way to eat a cupcake! Or, should we say frosting off the cupcakes!?!
