H20






This is Eden's first trip to the lake. Lee tried unsuccessfully to hold her and wakeboard, but she loved it!
So I pretty much love water! Yes, to drink as I love to stay hydrated.... but mostly to play in:) Tonight for mutual I was in charge, so we played water kickball and it turned into a slip & slide. It was so much fun! Maybe I didn't get to slip and slide enough when I was a kid or maybe I just haven't grown up yet, but I was the only leader on the slip and slide :) and I had a blast!
On Monday we went to Saguaro Lake and almost killed our family! We had such a good time with our friends Jeff & Jenny Guerecki. They love to come with us and can come on short notice so we have gone several times in the last few months. I know... stop rambling and get on with the story. So, a monsoon blew in and the water got dark and choppy pretty quick. Lee decided to drive in as FAST AS HE COULD POSSIBLY GO and he totally almost hit a bouyie(sp?) I guess they extended the bouyies farther than they had been and he had been driving in the no wake zone :(
Then when we got to the dock some lady was yelling at us because I didn't have on a life jacket! Honestly, what would happen to you being a mom if you fell in with your kids? Maybe I should have written that in caps to get her point across better!!!!!
In conclusion... I love summer! Who needs a pool, just let me play in the hose and I think I could be happy enough :)

Our young women's last night was slip 'n slide kickball too! How funny. Since I am a large pregnant woman due to give birth any day now I mostly took pictures, but did slide on my knees a couple times and all our other leaders got wet, we're the coolest. Anyway, can't wait to get to the lake with you guys some time, we love it too!

Don't hate, but Pickles looks kind of boy-ish in the picture with her in the lifejacket. Maybe she should wear pretties at the lake too?!

:-( Wish we could go with you some time. I haven't been in forever.

I recommend a life jacket, though, because if you got knocked unconscious or something (after hitting a buoy!) :-)

But it's not that lady's place to yell at you... sheesh!

I don't know if you know this, but when you talk about slip & slides you have to give a shout out to the Molinas'!
