A weekend at the lake...warning picture heavy blog!

BigDaddy's birthday was last Monday....the only thing he wanted was to go to the lake...now while I think April is a bit early in the season to be camping, BigDaddy's wish is my command. So we went to wally world and let BigDaddy go nuts buying camping and fishing supplies. By Friday when BigDaddy got off work early he was like a kid on Christmas morning...it almost killed him that he had to wait for mini-me to get out of school so we could leave. Conversation with BigDaddy
BigDaddy: "We should just go get her out of school a little bit early"
Me: "We don't have a good excuse to get her out of school early"
BigDaddy: "Yes we do, were going to the lake!"
Silly BigDaddy, he had to wait till after 3:30...you would have thought we were never going to leave the way he acted. it was really adorable how excited he was! We did leave and got to the lake about 5. To say we had an amazing weekend would be an understatement! Here are some pics and little stories to share.




Apparently I caught mini-me off guard with this photo, I love the look on her face! She's squinting out the sun...her skin is beautifully sun kissed! She looks like she's asking me a question!



This is BigDaddy, getting the fishing poles ready for fishing...J cheesing it up!



I thought the water was way to cold for swimming, however the girls didn't let that stop them from enjoying the lake!!



Kyler fishing...note the potato chips in his hand...the boy is never without food, I've always heard this about teenage boys...turns out it's true...it was so awesome to spend some time with him! Isn't he adorable!



B n BigDaddy fishing! They didn't catch anything all weekend...no one even had a bite! It was disappointing however even the lack of fish couldn't ruin our weekend!



J and B...they are so cute! I was uber glad they could come down for the weekend!



Me n K....this kid is adorable!!




Kodi...getting the stick...he thought the water was a bit cold so he didn't swim much, he did like to lay in the shallow end though.



Are these girls the coolest cutest Kansas lake babes ever or what!!





A couple of pics of my nasty mark left from my battle with the manhole, believe it or not I was totally sober...there was no alcohol this weekend...so I can't even call it a "drunk bump". It was just typical clumsy Monica! L thought this was hilarious when it happened...I can just imagine watching me fall on my butt was...I so wanted to laugh when it happened...unfortunately I could only cry...it hurt so bad..still does!


I love this pic of BigDaddy...mini-me took this one..I think...I love his goofy expression...he looks like that all the time at home! ;)


This is my new favorite pic of me and my Mr. Right! I love everything about this pic!



Me n Baby sista!!



Playing catch...it was so cool for mini-me to get some play time with the big kids...she played catch with all three of them!!


I forgot smore's stuff, thank goodness L remembered!! You can't tell it, but we were all really excited to make smore's and they were way yummy good!


This was our last day...everyone was packing up to go...B n L's Tent was right behind where were sitting it was already packed away! My poor mini-me was suffering from an upset tummy and had spent the last hour in the Tahoe...I made her get up and come sit for the picture...Like she always is, my girl was a trooper and even smiled for the pic...then went back to the Tahoe...she was fine after we got home. It was her first real big weekend lake trip...I think she was just "laked" out! I made a point to ask everyone if they had a good enough time to do it again...everyone said yes...so I'm sure there will be a ton more lake trips this summer...I just hope they all live up to the standards set by this one...it really had all the ingredients of a perfect weekend, fishing, swimming, fire, smore's, friends, family, dogs, kids, good food, a few sunburns, a few scrapes n bruises...I mean it was the perfect weekend! It was also a wonderful way to celebrate my Mr. Right's birthday!
